Virtual Realities and Pretend Robots, with Dan...

Everybody"s Talking at Once ·

2016/10/25

ETAO Podcast, Episode 24. Dan Teasdale returns to discuss No Goblin’s sophomore effort, 100ft Robot Golf, a game about (wait for it) hundred-foot-high robots playing golf. This being a No Goblin game, of course, there’s more to it than that. It’s a deeply personal and proudly goofy admixture of influences that maybe shouldn’t even be … Continue reading "Virtual Realities and Pretend Robots, with Dan Teasdale (and Cassie)"

2015/07/14

ETAO Podcast, Episode 21. Zach Barth sits down to complete our interview triptych. Having already covered the art of the anti-puzzle and the question of whether it’s even possible to spoil Infinifactory, we focus this time on the softer launch that Steam Early Access provides, the conversation alchemy of developers discussing development with developers on … Continue reading "A Pseudo-Instruction That Has No Effect, with Zach Barth"

ETAO Podcast, Episode 20. Action Henk is out (of Steam Early Access) today, and to celebrate, here’s my conversation with Roel Ezendam of RageSquid Games.

Lizardry, Technology, and What to Call Roguelikes,...

Everybody"s Talking at Once ·

2014/07/15

ETAO Podcast, Episode 13. At first glance, A Wizard’s Lizard doesn’t seem like a roguelike-alike, but more specifically like a Binding of Isaac-alike, what with its distinctive combination of Zelda and Smash TV. But on closer inspection, A Wizard’s Lizard is a fairly different beast, owing more to A Link to the Past than to the … Continue reading "Lizardry, Technology, and What to Call Roguelikes, with Geoff Blair and Matt Hackett"

Evaluating Transistor

2014/06/27

ETAO Podcast, Episode 11. Transistor is Supergiant Games’ follow-up to Bastion—not a sequel, and definitely not a rehash, but just as definitely an iteration, a more refined approach to the same set of themes and gameplay ideas.

Unpacking the Indie Custom Cube

Everybody"s Talking at Once ·

2013/11/26

ETAO Podcast, Episode 03. Some independent game developers made a set of jokey, rollickingly broken Magic cards. An awful lot of people found the jokes therein sexist, racist, and generally objectionable. Which is where it gets complicated. Can we separate what black means in Magic from what blackness means in everyday life? Should we? Can … Continue reading "Unpacking the Indie Custom Cube"
