2018/01/12

In these days of multi-threaded story driven RPGs that span 100s of hours there are times when a pure arcade game is something to recognise and admire. Astral Traveler is just such a game as it is a very pure arcade racing experience that celebrates quick reactions and a tactical mind set. Show host Chris ORegan chats to Dragon Slumber about Astral Traveler along with their origins as a developer. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode161.mp3

When a game embraces physics to the same degree as Planetoid Pioneers you have to embrace it, for if you push against the weight of the world you are playing it, it will end up playing you. Every item in Planetoid Pioneers has some heft to it and this can be used to build some very impressive objects. All with the aim of escaping the planetoid the player finds themselves on.Show host Chris ORegan chats to Dan Tabar of Data Realms about Planetoid Pioneers and asks how they developed such a unique and

The Sausage Fcatory: 159 – Ironcast by Dreadbit

2017/12/29

When first confronted with screenshots of Ironcast one can make the mistake of believing it to be a match three game that is similar to Candy Crush. Mercifully this is far from being the case as Ironcast is a very deep and complex strategy game involving mechs from the 19th century. A mythical one I grant you, but Ironcast is still very much a well conceived title that meshes two very different types of game into one.Show host Chris ORegan chats to Daniel Leaver, founder of Dreadbit the makers of

During one of our show host's many travels, Chris ORegan happened upon Masquerada Songs and Shadows and was immediately drawn to it.

Almost a year ago show host Chris ORegan met with Asymmetric, the developers of West of Loathing during PAX West 2016. An adventure game with a strong comedic bent to it with humour so dry it can be very safely compared to something that lacks any kind of moisture. 12 months on and both Kevin Simmons and Zack Johnson, the founders of Asymmetric agree to be guests of The Sausage Factory to talk about this extraordinary

The Sausage Factory: 156 – Catacombs 1: Demon War by...

The Sausage Factory ·

2017/12/08

In the early days of video games there was a genre that came into being very soon after such things came into being. That genre is the dungeon crawler and can be traced back to games like Wizardry and Ultima series of titles that dominated the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years these have begun to reappear with Legend of Grimrock 1 and 2 being good examples as well as Catacombs 1 Demon War.This is a game that show host Chris ORegan happened upon and was so enthralled by it he decided to chat to the

Controlling a cardboard box does not sound very appealing when you try to explain that is the core of what Unbox Newbies Adventure is about. But once you get the hang of it and how it plays, it opens up to becoming very special. Show host Chris ORegan chats to Andrew Bennison of Prospect Games about how their debut title came into being and the effort they put into making what is a very unique action adventure

The Sausage Factory ·

2017/11/24

When mixing board games with video games there is a risk one format absorbs the other. In the case of Children of Zodiarcs by Cardboard Utopia, the use of cards and dice play a huge part in how the game is played. Thankfully both formats compliment each other extremely well and how this is achieved is delved deeply into during this episode of The Sausage Factory. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode154.mp3

2017/10/27

Romanian developers Sand Sailor Studio decided to create Black the Fall to offer up their personal take on what life is like when living under an all powerful state.

2017/10/20

Show host Chris ORegan first encountered Beasts of Balance in the dimly lit alcove within Rezzed 2015 that housed the Leftfield Collection. It was a very different game back then, with a strange set of scales and a collection of odd objects that resembled animals for the most part. 2 years later Beasts of Balance is very much a real thing and Chris chats to George Buckingham from Sensible Object about this dexterity game mixed with a video game hybrid and asks him how it was

Action adventures are a tough nut to crack with some focusing more on the action rather than adventure. Mages of Mystralia manages to some how balance the two by making an interesting world that is explored using some very intricate game play mechanics that are normally found in platform titles.
