TDC #05: From Brackeys to PanGui with Andreas Gielov

Andreas Gielov spent three years helping run Brackeys, one of the most influential Unity YouTube channels of all time. After Brackeys stopped producing Unity content, he went on to manage a string of game development YouTubers before joining Sirenix — the team behind Odin Inspector and the upcoming UI library Pangui — as VP of Marketing.
We talk about what actually makes a game dev YouTube channel work, why advocate-driven marketing beats paid ads in niche markets, and why Sirenix has been quietly building Pangui for five years before letting anyone see it. Along the way: the tech stack is bloated, your in-house Unity UI framework probably shouldn't exist, and Jonathan Blow gets brought up (again).
