Back to back interview episodes? This week I am joined by author Daryl Baxter to talk about his recently released book "50 years of Boss Fights"! One of my favorite parts of games is the boss fight so having a whole book celebrating that? I was all in. I had a wonderful conversation with Daryl about why he chose to write the book, his infleunces and his favorite boss fights!

One of the things I need to more on the show is interview indie game devs and this week's episode is my first attempt in a long while to do that. I'm joined by Australian game designer Sam Leitch to talk about his upcoming game Wren's Resurgence. Sam was incredibly kind and asked for feedback on his demo during the recording! It was a really fun experience for me to get a small peak behind the curtain of indie game development and I hope you all enjoy it as well!

It has been 25 years since the Sega Dreamcast came out. And while the system may have been short lived it's impact is still felt today. Joining me to talk all about Sega's final home console are my friends Andrew from The EXP Point and Coury from My Life in Gaming. We talk about Sega's follies leading up to the Dreamcast's launch, what the system did right and how unfortunate timing ultimately doomed the system. We also count down Andrew's top 10 Dreamcast games!

We all have backlogs. I usually pick games from it for my Patreon polls to help me work through it steadily. But sometimes I just pick a game off of it with no intention of playing it for the show and then I enjoy it so much I feel like I have to. Alan Wake was one of those games for me. Joining me on this episode are Phil Morgan from the Deleted Saves podcast and Matt aka Stormageddon to break down Alan Wake from Remedy Games.

This episode delves into some heavy topics, expecially later on in the episode so please note the content warning below along with the time stamp for where that portion starts.

WHERE IS SHE!? This week on the show it's all about the Dark Knight himself, Batman. I'm joined by one of my closest IRL friends Heather! Heather is one of the biggest Batman fans I know so I had to have her on the show to talk about her favorite super hero. We talk about our favorite elements of the game, we ask if it still holds up and we also imagine what would it be like if Batman brought the wrong explosive gel with him while fighting crime.

What is this? A game that actually isn't retro? Well it's about damn time. I'm joined by voice actor, audio engineer and podcaster Geoff Moonen to talk about Animal Well a insanely creative and fun indie game that came out on May 9th this year. Similarly like Tunic, this game is all about secrets and explores how to give players enough bread crumbs to piece together the secrets without making it too obvious or too obtuse. Geoff and I have a wonderful conversation all about how this game guides us players along, how it reveals it's various levels of secrets and how it encourages you to keep exploring and trying new things. Listen now and delve into the many layers of this episode.

Episode two of Toriyama month is here and this week I am joined by Marc "Try4ce" Duddleston to talk about the second Dragon Quest game. Coming out less than a year after the original, Dragon Quest 2 was an insanely ambitious game that tried some cool new things and some not so cool new things. Try and I talk a lot about how the game plays and feels, it's story and it's vast open world Does this game hold up all these years later? Try and I do our best to answer that.

You're a guard for the kingdom of Herana, a bloody coup is happening and you narrowly escape through the sewers. You now need to meet up with your family by travleing west to a place called Yerdan. This is Grand Soul Story, a new indie RPG from solo developer Jeremy Reineck, and to break this whole thing down I am joined by my good friend Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover podcast.

For full disclosure we did recieve review copies of this game for review and overall? We had a good time! We talk about the battle mechanics, the visuals, the music, what it was like playing a game in early access and much more. There is a spoiler section in this episode which begins at 1:29:19.

What happens when you design a whole game around secrets? How do you make those secrets accessible but fair and challenging to discover? How to you pace out those discoveries to keep the player interested the whole way through? This week on the show I am joined by games journalist Jill Grodt of the Indie Informer to talk about a game that not only answers these questions but sets the standard for how to answer them. We are discussing the indie game Tunic, a wonderful action adventure game from solo game developer Andrew Shouldice and the Tunic Team. Jill and I break down this incredible game over 2 hours and still barely scratch the surface of what it has to offer. I don't normally say this in the episode description but this game is VERY much worth playing before you listen to this episode.

Some games you play because they make your heart race in excitement, others are played to scare you out of your pants, but there are also a ton that are played because they relax you. I like wearing pants so I prefer the last one. This week on the show I am joined by author and games journalist Ryan Janes to discuss his recently released book "The Most Relaxing Video Games". We talk about his inspiration for the book, his selection process and also what his preferred medium to color with is! Make sure you go check out Ryan and his book in the links below.

It's another Patreon poll episode! For this episode my patrons had me play Zillion for the Sega Master System and boy howdy it's a game. I'm joined by Coury from My Life in Gaming and Tiger Chainsaw (check out his YouTube channel!) to talk about Sega's version of Metroid/Impossible Mission. It's a game that had a lot of promise but we were mixed on it's execution. We also take some time to talk about the anime the game is based on. If you would like to help choose future topics for the show as well, join the Still Loading Podcast Patreon and vote in the quaterly polls!
