Gengis - Invidious

Gengis

The Party Is Full is a long-form conversation series about how games are actually built. Hosted by Alessandro “Gengis,” a product manager with experience at Electronic Arts (EA) and on Old School RuneScape at Jagex, the show explores the real decisions, tradeoffs, and systems behind modern game development.

Episodes cover design, production, player behavior, and careers, with guests reflecting on what worked, what didn’t, and why it only makes sense in hindsight.
