Show Notes
Join us for a shorter Pixel Pizza this week (a personal pie?) as we speak with Armando Webb, half of the Mexico-based indie studio Odd Men In! The team's debut title is the 90's cartoon-inspired metroidvania Oh, My Doug! Armando tells us about the handmade visuals (both drawn and modeled) that went into the game, creating a game world out of the human body, and not saying no to your own ideas. Featuring music from Craig is Complacent!

Solve the mystery of the missing pizza this week (I definitely didn't eat it 🤐) as we speak with Judith and Jason, the Creative Director & Game Director over at Lofty Sky Games. They're about to release the upcoming mystery adventure game Hope in the City! The duo tells us about drawing real-world inspiration from colleagues in Northeast China, interweaving character development with game mechanics, and what they are most excited for players to experience when the game drops next month on Gamepass November 11th! Featuring some awesome tracks from SoupOOT~
Solo developer Goba joins us this week to talk about his ambitious action-adventure saga REAL WEB LEGENDS: Carter's Quest! We get into making the game from Goba's teenage years all the way into his 20's, creating cinematic moments with a low-poly artstyle, and the things we both love and hate about Final Fantasy XVI. It's all funnier than it sounds I swear! Feat. tunes from Kento Dicaprio 💥 LINKS: 🐦 Goba's Twitter: @GobaDev ☁️ Goba's BlueSky: http://gobadev.bsky.social 👾 Carter's Quest Discord: https://discord.com/invite/MUHG5YjMHs 🎮 Carter's Quest on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2409110/REAL_WEB_LEGENDS_Carters_Quest/ 💿 Kento DiCaprio: https://kdicaprio.bandcamp.com/
