[2020] In the Games Industry - (ex-Mod) Mat K - Today: 20:00 UTC

Hey again!

I'm Shauny, I worked for Jagex for close to six years, during that time I was always fascinated about the lives of people who worked on RuneScape/Old School RuneScape.

Lately I've started to interview Jmods on stream about their time at Jagex and really got to dive into stories behind their projects which has been a ton of fun.

Later on today, I'll be talking to /u/ModMatK who's happy to share stories about his time in Jagex and I'd love to take this opportunity to gather topics/questions you'd like me to ask him during a livestream!

It'll take place today at 20:00 UTC on my Twitch channel, if you have anything you'd like me to ask him or chat about please feel free to reply!

To give you an idea of what we'll be discussing, here's the topic list I have so far for today which Mat is happy to talk about.
