Ep. 130: How Tetris Ruled The World!

GlitchCube ·

2023/03/27

Hey Cubies! This week we wanted to discuss puzzle games, more specifically Tetris. The way this game was released to the world is pretty crazy. So many under the table deals, lies, scandals and shady government organizations. But during this time it was the wild west of video games. They were still learning how these deals should be made. And to think that all of this started because an engineer decided to blow off some steam after work and make a little game to pass the time. Little did he know

Ep. 129: The Heart Of The Games! Game Engines!

2023/03/20

Hey there Cubies! Throughout the years there have been a multitude of ways in which games have been made. There are a plethora of game engines out there for designers to choose from. And each one, while can make an amazing game, have their own little differences. But what did they use before game engines were a thing? They actually used machine language to make their games and it took have an engineering background to do so. Game engine take what we want and convert it to machine language for the

Ep. 128: Don’t Say JRPG!

2023/03/13

Hey there Cubies! With the recent trailers of Final Fantasy 16 there have been some interesting and important conversations happening in the gaming world. FF16 producer and director Naoki Yoshida expressed his feelings about the term JRPG in a recent interview. He let the world know that it is in fact a discriminatory term used to segregate the genre. Most fans of the genre may have been a little surprised to hear this. But looking at when the term was used more heavily by the media it really makes

Ep. 127: Art Deco Games! Architecture In Video Games!

GlitchCube ·

2023/03/06

Hey there Cubies! We are diving back into the world of architecture in video games. This week we look into the style of Art Deco. A style that was used to show off wealth and prosperity, to bring hope back to the people especially after struggling through the Great Depression. But there is another side to Art Deco that when used properly can really be used to invoke feelings of despair, elitist culture and totalitarian beliefs. This week we chat about Bioshock, Atomic Heart, The Outer Worlds,

2023/02/27

Hey there Cubies! We are back again with another fun topic this week. There has been a real resurgence of remastered games coming out and they really have been a treat to play. Capturing the excitement we felt when playing them all those years ago. And being able to share them once again with this new generation of gamers. It is a really amazing thing since a lot of these games just are not playable anymore by todays standards. And some titles have this strange phenomenon attached to them. They

Ep. 124: Brutalist Architecture In Games!

GlitchCube ·

2023/02/13

Hey there Cubies! We are continuing our conversation with architecture in game by diving into the world of brutalism. Typically brutalism is looked at as cold or devoid of life but it is so much more than people think. Its use of raw materials to allow the building itself to speak tell a story that is outside of the architect that designed it. With the proper lighting if can really add a sense of mystery to a scene. One of the best examples of how to use brutalism in games is Control. It is almost

2023/02/06

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another week of video game discussions. We have talked a lot about mechanics, art and intent for video game designers but there is a category that seems to be forgotten when talking about games. That being the architecture in games. For years it has just been a background piece and many games do not put a major focus on it when designing their levels. But we are seeing more and more games try and put more emphasis on the overall architecture to help boost their level

Ep. 122: How Crowdfunding Has Changed Video Games!

GlitchCube ·

2023/01/30

Hey there Cubies! This week we are diving through the world of crowdfunding. It has truly changed the way that video games get released and has evolved the indie market into what it is today. Long gone are the days in which an unknown creator has to rely on a large publisher to make their projects come to fruition. Now we can ask our audience to support our endeavors. While this is a wonderful thing, there are times in which the designers see dollar signs and begin to slack off on the project, or

Ep. 121: Last Of Us Show! And Other Video Game TV Shows!

GlitchCube ·

2023/01/23

Hello Cubies! HBO has just released its new show "Last Of Us" based on the critically acclaimed video game. Now video game movies and tv shows are not anything new at this point, and their track record is not really great if we are being honest. Most video game ideas do not translate well to the silver screen. But lately we have been seeing better renditions of video games out there. And with that we have to ask the question, are writers getting better at making things a reality, or are video games

Ep. 120: Game Jams! Creativity Through Restrictions!

GlitchCube ·

2023/01/16

Hello Cubies! The indie field is something that we really appreciate here at GlitchCube and we wanted to take a look back at how it all exploded into the field. At first we wanted to just do an episode on game jams, but after doing some research and seeing the incredible list of games that came from game jams this became more of a history lesson on indie games. Without game jams we wouldn't have games like Celeste, SuperHot or The Binding Of Issac. The core concept for these games were developed in

Hey there cubies! It is no surprise that we love video games and actually before starting this podcast we were thinking about making games as our project.

So, this week we are going to chat about game ideas that we have come up with and want to make for you guys! Let us know what you think of these ideas and they will be something you can play in the

Hey Cubies! We dive through more lore and mythos in this weeks episode. This time we are looking at India. When doing research for this episode we learned some rather interesting things about the portrayal of gods in games. And it explains why there might not be more games with the stories of the gods themselves.

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another mini-series here! We are diving into the mythos and lore used in video games. Looking at how accurate they are, and why they might be used as often as they are. To kick out this series we are diving into the mythos of Greece. Greek mythology is rather well known and understood by many. It is easy to latch onto and give game designers plenty of inspiration to sink their teeth into. With the success of God Of War Ragnarok it felt only right to start with the

2022/11/28

Hey Cubies! There has been a lot of changes in video game journalism since the 70s when the first magazine was published. We have seen how things change and evolve through printed word, to early internet blogs, to reader feedback fueled forums and video format reviews. When looking back it is really amazing how much things have changed, especially when you start to think that there has never been a clear cut way of writing about video games. While things have changed throughout the years due to
