The Sausage Factory: 181 – Q.U.B.E.2 by Toxic Games

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/06/01

Q.U.B.E. was a much celebrated puzzle adventure game that was released in late 2011. It was ported onto many platforms and enjoyed a lot of attention for being a very cerebral title that encouraged lateral thinking. 7 years later and its sequel Q.U.B.E.2 arrives and builds a great deal from what the original title set up and presents a story and a new set of puzzles for players to plough their way through.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, show host Chris ORegan talks to Benjamin Hill of Toxic

The Sausage Factory: 180 – Warframe by Digital Extremes

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/05/25

The traditional view of free-to-play games is that they are more akin to pay-to-function games as they are littered with time gates that cripple the playability of the game for the sake of a few pennies. Warframe doesn't follow this model - it provides rich and engrossing environment set across Earth's solar system that doesn't shove micro-transactions down players' throats. Instead, it just happily plays along and if the players want to buy some extra gear or improvements then they can, if they

Deep Sixed by Little Red Dog Games When is a point and click adventure not a point and click adventure? Well when it has real time elements in it that do not allow the player the chance to breathe. Deep Sixed is an puzzle action game that has the player controlling a space craft after defaulting on a debt. They must explore a very dangerous part of the universe while trying to hold a very broken space ship together all with the aid of some very convoluted instructions. Deep Sixed is riddled with

2018/05/11

Thunderbirds was an interesting piece of TV that had a family rescuing people across the world from disaster. Stormworks Build and Rescue is clearly inspired by this show as it requires the player to build vehicles to complete missions that become increasingly challenging by adding complexity to them. Designing vehicles to be the most efficient at completing missions is what makes Stormworks Build and Rescue such a joy to play.In this episode of The Sausage Factory,show host Chris ORegan talks to

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/05/04

Turn based strategy games have a very long history dating back to the 1980s with the likes of Laser Squad and Rebel Star Raiders. The one thing that united recent incarnations of this genre is how they had the player controlling the humans against the alien menace. But what if the humans are the menace and the aliens are just defending themselves? Well to answer that question we have Attack of the Earthlings.In this episode of The Sausage Factory,show host Chris ORegan talks to Stephanie Bazeley of

The Sausage Factory: 176 – Mike Dies by Psydra Games

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/04/27

Puzzle platformers are two-a-penny across the indie game landscape but Mike Dies is far less frustrating than most as well as being very entertaining and addictive to play. Show host encountered Mike Dies at the SIX event during PAX West 2017 and felt compelled to have the developer on as a guest on The Sausage Factory.In this episode of The Sausage Factory,show host Chris ORegan talks to Psydra Games about the development of Mike Dies**Due to an audio fault this episode has a significant amount of

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/04/13

The design of narrative driven games has scaled unimaginable heights and A Case of Distrust is an excellent example of this. A game set in 1920s USA where alcohol is illegal and the the concept of civil rights was but a distant dream.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to Ben Wander about the development of the amazing A Case of Distrust. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode174.mp3

The Sausage Factory: 173 – Rock Boshers DX by Tikipod

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/04/06

What would a game look like if you took the limitations of a ZX Spectrum in terms of graphical output and shoved it into a modern day computer and or console? Well it would look a lot like Rock Boshers DX, a twin stick shooter by Tikipod.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to Dugan Jackson of Tikipod about the development of the excellent Rock Boshers DX. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode173.mp3

The Sausage Factory: 172 – Crawl by Powerhoof

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/03/30

While co-op gaming has been a very long staple in the realm of video games, the act of ganging up on another player is less prevalent for fairly obvious reasons. This did not stop Powerhoof from developing Crawl, a unique take on the dungeon crawling genre.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to developers Powerhoof about Crawl's development. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode172.mp3

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/03/23

There is a deleted scene in the Aliens film that has the marines fix a motion detector to a mini-gun that proceeds to lay waste to anything that moves. Let Them Come is essentially that scene with the player taking control of a large machine gun as they fight off wave after wave of aliens as they crawl from the right hand side of the screen.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to developers Tuatara Games about Let Them Come's

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/03/16

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/03/09

When VR first came into being one of the first types of games to appear were simulations of board games like chess and backgammon as they were very tactile. League of War Battle Arena takes this to the next step by incorporating an extremely tactical war game with video game special effects all within a VR environment.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to developers Munkyfun about League of War VR Arenas

While at EGX 2017 show host Chris ORegan was accosted by a giant tomato demanding that he play a VR game called Shooty Fruity. Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, or in this case a giant fruit Chris acquiesced to this demand and found he had a whale of a time scanning products into a bar code scanner while shooting fruit.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris talks to developers Near Light about Shooty Fruitys

Chris O'Regan, the host of The Sausage Factory is a little bit notorious for walking the planet travelling to conventions that celebrate the art of video games. Once such event was Play Expo 2017 in Manchester where Chris met Paris Stalker, a developer who was showing off Ersatz, an amazing arcade platformer game that uses music as a means to communicate to the player how they are progressing and what they should be doing at any given time.Chris talks to Paris about how he developed Ersatz using

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/02/16

There are a lot of games that take on the visual style of one genre yet turn out to be something quite different. Mantis Burn Racing is that sort of game, for while it looks like an arcade racing title, it is actually more akin to a simulation like Dirt 4 or Forza 7. The depth of simulation for a top down racer is a unique experience and one that needs to be had if you have any interest in racing games.Show host Chris ORegan talks to Shaun Read and Sean Walsh of VooFoo studios about how they

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/02/09

With a mix of British dry humour and a brawler that relies on combos and fluid movement to get the most points, Deadbeat Heroes is a very unique game that is both fun to play and funny to listen to. Riddled with quips and one-liners that would make even Steed of The Avengers blanch Deadbeat Heroes is a celebration of Britain of the late 1960s as well as a very polished arcade game that rewards players for executing complex moves.Show host Chris ORegan talks to Adam Langridge and Imkan Hayati of

2018/02/02

Action adventure titles have been a staple of video games since their inception. Tracing their roots back to the likes of Rogue, they have evolved into a genre that spans worlds and even time itself. Morphite is very much an action adventure, that seems to be inspired by the likes of Elite and No Man's Sky, when in fact it is more akin to Metroid once you start delving into it.Show host Chris ORegan talks to Josh Presseisen of Crescent Moon Games about how Morphite came into

The Sausage Factory ·

2018/01/19

Hypernova Escape from Hadea looks like an RTS to the uninitiated and in many ways it does play like one. However, it is clear that there are a lot of tower defence aspects to it as well that make it somewhat different from your average base-building experience. Hypernova Escape from Hadea is a beautifully realised game and show host Chris ORegan talks to Actalogic about their origins and how Hypernova Escape from Hadea came to
