  • After a one-episode break, we're now back to Digital Eclipse content with the impending release of Tetris Forever. Joining this week are DE's Chris Kohler, editorial director, and Jason Cirillo, lead designer and programmer of Tetris Timewarp, an original title included in Tetris Forever. We cover a lot of ground in this one, from our first experiences with Tetris, some behind-the-scenes of the development of Tetris Forever, a lot about Tetris Timewarp, and, of course, playing a silly game.

  • Just in time for Halloween, Nightdive Studios did what it does best. They released a remastered gem from first-person-shooting history that blended spooky shooting with live-action FMV story: Killing Time Remastered. Fortunately, I was able to assemble four guests from the team that worked on the title to speak about it. Joining this pod are Nightdive's Grover Wimberly IV (Project Manager/Producer), Adam Grayshon (Project Coordinator), Josh Dowell (Game Programme), and End (Game Programmer). We talk through the game itself, the development process, and some insight into the original game's production. And, what has become a new tradition, I subject them all to a silly game at the end.

  • Two years ago, Atari and Digital Eclipse released one of the greatest odes to video game history Atari 50: the Anniversary Celebration. Turns out there's a lot more story to tell, thus leading to two announced DLC for the darling title. Joining me to dive into the first installment of the DLC, The Wider World of Atari, are Digital Eclipse's Dave Rees (Software Engineer), Dan Amrich (Content Editor), and Stephen Frost (Head of Production). We talk about what led to the creation of the DLC, how a Gold Master narrative gets constructed, and then end with a thrilling game.

  • Mark Perloff is no stranger to this podcast, but has yet to be the subject. Until now! Being the lead producer on Yars Rising, it seemed like a great to bring him on to learn more about his journey to Atari, pry for some behind-the-scenes insights into Yars Rising, and then ask a slate of random questions that I love to do so much.

  • Less than 24 hours after getting home from Gamescom in Germany, James Montanga, director of Yars Rising, kindly agreed to join me once again for a more light-hearted episode of the podcast. My goal: talk a bit more about Yars Rising beyond what was covered in our preview in Episode 31, and discuss Gamescom and demoing games to press. We cover all that and more throughout this hour-plus-long episode. Enjoy!

  • Tim Lapetino, writer of the book, The Art of Atari, was hired as Atari's creative director earlier this year. Few people know our company like he does as he's literally written a book on it! Tim and I (Jason) haven't had too many discussions together, so this was a great opportunity to learn more about his history and share that with you all. I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as I did!

  • A little over a year ago, Atari and Graphite Lab launched Mr. Run and Jump to critical acclaim. Little did we know at the time, that it would catch the speedrunning eyes of Altabiscuit and lead to runs at SGDQ and the upcoming PAX West. What better a time, then, to bring our friends from Graphite Lab, studio director Matt Raithel and MR&J director John Mikula, back to the podcast to talk speedrunning their title and speedrunning in general?

  • Yars Rising has been making waves recently with a new gameplay trailer dropping, a demo during Steam Next Fest, and a preview cycle out of Summer Games Fest. To keep the good times rolling, I invited James Montagna (game director) and Mark Perloff (lead producer) to talk all about the title. We dive into the origins of the game's concept, how a metroidvania is crafted, and so much more.

  • Graphite Lab is back on the pod to talk about the imminent qomp2! Matt and Mark return, along with lead designer Brad Austrin to play and discuss the making of qomp2. We go through the approach to designing a sequel to an indie cult classic, building on such simple gameplay, and how to integrate narrative into a game about PONG ball.
