Spice up your weekend with a chaotic new Pixel Pizza! Joining us this week is Slug Glove, the developer behind the whimsical and wildly open-ended adventure game Rhell! SG explains how the game's striking 2D/3D art style came to be, integrating the over one million spell combinations in the game, and valuing yourself in freelance work.

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/
