Show Notes
After a break due to the LA fires - which we talk about to begin with here - we chat about a recent 200-page document called "The State of Video Games in 2025" from Matthew Ball. If you'd like links to the charities we mentioned, please check those out on the YouTube version of the podcast!

After years of talking about it, Mike, Alanah, and Austin finally had Kerry Dyer (Mike's wife and also stop-motion puppet doctor) on the show to talk about bringing puppets to life! We also discuss how different mediums seem to naturally avoid feedback/criticism, and memorable moments meeting famous people. Video games are in there somewhere idk.
Mike and Alanah chat with Double Fine's Tim Schafer on the indie future (and past?) of the studio since leaving Xbox, including how you can help!
This week, Mike and Alanah sat down with Em from A Shell in the Pit to talk about BIG WALK, and, ultimately, steal foley (sound design) knowledge for use in their own games. Hey, at least we admit it.
In this week's episode, the crew discusses THE DEFINITION OF ART (2026 ver), and finding inspiration in the real world rather than other media, as a result of Alanah visiting Barcelona and exploring Antoni Gaudi's La Sagrada Familia.
