We discuss Grinding Gear Games’ surprisingly small and efficient development team, major changes designed to help new players, systems being brought over from Path of Exile 2, how the studio reuses assets across both games, its proprietary engine, secret content, datamining bait and why developers keep hiding bananas throughout Path of Exile. We also talk about the possibility of a Path of Exile movie or card game, favorite bosses, lessons from past leagues and how the team plans to keep growing Path of Exile 1 alongside Path of Exile 2.","meta_description":"Path of Exile 1 is getting another major expansion, and I sat down with game director Mark Roberts and designer Octavian Morosan to talk about the future…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3091,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/destin-legarie-podcast-save-state-plus-7244455/episodes/path-of-exile-s-developers-just-called-out-aaa-development/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/destin-legarie-podcast-save-state-plus-7244455/path-of-exile-s-developers-just-called-out-aaa-development.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
