Indie Game Dev Jabrils talks AI & Anime [freeCodeCamp Podcast

On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Jabril. He's an indie game developer who's building a turn-based fighting game called Ultrabouters.

Jabril has developed tons of other games as well. He runs the popular Jabrils gamedev focused-YouTube. He's also published a 5-hour introduction to programming course on freeCodeCamp.

We talk about:

Jabril's advice to gamedevs who want to make a career out of building video games
How Jabril got into gamedev as a kid when he got a copy of GameMaker
Jabril's career working at a comedy club and a radio station
The anime that Jabril's been working on for years
Why Jabril puts an "s" at the end of his name

Can you guess what bass line I'm playing on my bass during the intro? It's a 2009 song that became popular in the 2010's by being associated with a meme.
