Show notes

It's the 2nd anniversary of Currently Playing and this month, Daniel talks to Carson Anderson, a software engineer who gives talks about the technical aspects of coding on YouTube. Today he's telling us about his "monogame" which is Monster Train 2, a roguelike deck-builder in the vein of Slay the Spire. We get into the weeds about what makes Monster Train 2 unique and how it distinguishes itself from the first game in the series. If you're anything like Carson, you might find yourself spending hundreds of hours in there, so come on ride the train!
