I’ve been lucky to interview a lot of my friends over the last few years now; developers from plenty of projects, programs and apps. But this is one I’ve been looking forward to sharing for a long time now!

I interviewed the team behind Decky Loader, all about their history and work keeping it running.

If you don’t know, Decky Loader is (from my own article):

…[an] indispensable little tool that turns a brand-new Deck from ‘fun handheld console’ into a full-blown customization powerhouse. From adding plugins to tweaking the interface, Decky Loader quietly powers a lot of the creativity and convenience that Deck owners have come to take for granted.

Download it, and you can customize the heck out of how your Steam Deck looks and functions, by community-made plugins.

Anyway, I’m quite proud of this one, and really grateful that they all took the time to chat to me to make this one happen. If you’re at all interested in development, Steam Decks, open-source, or just gaming in general, then I think you’ll enjoy this one too!

The link to my article is here, please let me know what you think of it! I love doing these interviews, and I’ve been lucky that so many have followed along with them so far :)
