The game industry has never been more complex — or more fascinating. In Gaming Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna cut through the marketing hype to examine the actual business and technology shaping consoles, PC gaming, and the broader interactive entertainment market. Each episode takes a single question — How does AMD's RDNA architecture stack up against Nvidia's RTX? Why is Epic Games spending billions on exclusives? Is cloud gaming finally viable? — and builds a conversation around the numbers, the supply chains, and the strategic bets behind the headlines. Lucas brings a journalist's skepticism and a deep knowledge of hardware specifications, market share data, and corporate earnings reports. Luna pushes back with the perspective of an engaged player and analyst, questioning assumptions about consumer behavior, developer incentives, and platform economics. Together, they explore topics like the real cost of a 'mid-gen' console refresh, the economics of a $70 game versus a free-to-p

How Game Engines Are Becoming Physics Sandboxes
Aug 18, 20268 minS4
On this episode of Gaming Tech, Lucas and Luna explore how modern game engines are evolving into full-fledged physics sandboxes—tools that simulate everything from cloth and fluid to rigid body collisions with astonishing accuracy. They break down the rise of GPU-based physics, the impact of middleware like PhysX and Havok, and how real-time simulation is blurring the line between gameplay and pre-rendered cinematics. Using examples like the destruction in 'Red Faction' and the soft-body dynamics in 'Half-Life 2', they discuss why physics is becoming a core pillar of game design, not just an afterthought. The conversation also touches on the challenges of balancing realism with fun, the role of deterministic physics in multiplayer, and what the next generation of consoles means for simulation fidelity. If you've ever wondered how game worlds feel so tangible, this episode is for you. #GameEngines #PhysicsSimulation #GameDev #GPUPhysics #Unity #UnrealEngine #PhysicsSandbox #RealTimeSimulation #GameDesign #Tech #GamingTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GamingIndustry #NextGenConsoles #PhysicsMiddleware #ClothSimulation #DestructibleEnvironments Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Loading screens used to be the price of admission to a game world — a minute of staring at a progress bar. But in the last few years, they've become an endangered species. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the tech that's quietly killing the loading screen: from the Xbox Series X's Quick Resume, which suspends entire game states to system memory, to Sony's PlayStation 5 SSD architecture that streams assets directly to the GPU. They look at how open-world games like Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hide loads behind swinging and crawling, and how developers are using procedural generation and clever streaming to keep you in the action. They also break down the trade-offs — like the cost of always-on memory and what it means for game design. If you've ever wondered why you barely see a loading bar anymore, this is the story of the engineering and design choices that made it happen. #GamingTech #LoadingScreens #PS5SSD #XboxQuickResume #GameDesign #OpenWorldGames #PlayStation5 #XboxSeriesX #DirectStorage #AssetStreaming #ProceduralGeneration #MarvelsSpiderMan2 #InsomniacGames #GameDevelopment #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Gaming Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Game demos used to be marketing afterthoughts—a slice of a game to convince you to buy. But in 2026, the demo has become a strategic weapon. Lucas and Luna explore how studios like Capcom and Square Enix are using targeted, data-driven demos to build pre-launch buzz, test server loads, and even shape the final game. They break down the psychology of the 'vertical slice,' the rise of time-limited playtests, and the surprising economics behind free prologues. Plus, they look at how indie developers are using demos to break through on Steam, and why the Next Fest model has changed the math for everyone. If you've ever wondered why you suddenly saw a demo for that big game you were eyeing, this episode explains the strategy hiding behind that download button. #GameDemos #SteamNextFest #Capcom #SquareEnix #IndieGames #GameMarketing #VideoGameIndustry #GameDevelopment #GamingStrategy #GamePricing #GamePublishing #VerticalSlice #Playtest #Prologue #Technology #GamingTech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how game engines like Unreal and Unity are becoming essential training grounds for artificial intelligence. They discuss how simulated environments help AI learn skills like navigation, object manipulation, and even social interaction without real-world risks. The conversation touches on NVIDIA's Isaac Sim, the concept of domain randomization, and how this approach is being used in robotics and autonomous driving. They also consider the implications for game development itself, as AI-driven NPCs become more sophisticated. Tune in to understand why your favorite game engine might be the next big thing in AI research, and how this trend could shape both the gaming and technology industries. #GameEngines #AI #UnrealEngine #Unity #NVIDIA #IsaacSim #Robotics #AutonomousDriving #Simulation #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DomainRandomization #GamingTech #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Innovation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
In this episode of Gaming Tech with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore how game engines are evolving into full-fledged physics sandboxes, enabling developers to simulate everything from cloth and fluids to destruction and soft bodies in real time. They anchor the discussion around NVIDIA's PhysX 5.0 and its role in modern titles, comparing it with open-source alternatives like Bullet and the emerging influence of machine learning. The conversation dives into the practical challenges of real-time physics, including performance trade-offs, the shift toward GPU-accelerated simulation, and how 'good enough' physics often beats perfect accuracy. They also touch on the future of physics in the metaverse and how these tools are becoming accessible to indie developers. If you've ever wondered why game characters' hair moves naturally or why rubble collapses convincingly, this episode breaks down the tech behind it all. #GamingTech #GameEngines #PhysicsSimulation #NVIDIA #PhysX #BulletPhysics #RealTimePhysics #GPUComputing #GameDevelopment #IndieDev #Metaverse #DigitalTwin #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
