Side Quest 01 – Behind the Build | How Gamertagged Was Born (and Why It Matters)
Manage episode 489707417 series 3664263
Welcome to Side Quest — the bonus series from Gamertagged Studios where we pause the guest interviews and tell our own story.
These episodes are raw, behind-the-scenes deep dives into the identity, chaos, and creativity behind the podcast itself.
In this first-ever installment, the full cast (Scarto46, Misha 2.0, Portabella, and Ryanocerus) comes together to share the origin story of Gamertagged — how it started, why it exists, and what it means to build a show about digital identity.
🎮 We unpack the early pandemic spark, the wild naming debates, the design choices behind anonymity and trust, and how the ReRoll segment became the soul of the format.
If you’ve been wondering who we are, why we care, or what kind of space we’re trying to build — this is your invitation inside the studio.
🎙️ Featuring: Scarto46, Misha 2.0, Portabella, Ryanocerus
