Rob, Doug, Andy, and Sarah chat with Gabe Cuzzillo (Ape Out, Despelote) and Bennett Foddy (Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, QWOP) about their (with Maxi Boch) latest game, the multi-IGF-nominated open-world hard-walking manchild simulator Baby Steps. We discuss the game's in-house approach to voice acting, balancing challenge with humor, creating (and hiding) a looping environment, telling an honest story about masculinity, including explicit content without getting banned from Steam, rock curation, secrets, and so much more!

In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Josh Galecki and Bryan Skursha tackle Baby Steps, the 2025 overly literal walking simulator developed by Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch, and Bennett Foddy and published by Devolver Digital. Known for games that turn basic movement into existential comedy (QWOP, Getting Over It, etc.), the team delivers another strange, hilarious experiment in control and patience. We embody Nate, a 35-year-old basement-dwelling failson, who is dropped into a vast mountain wilderness and must literally learn how to walk using deliberately awkward controls which turn every footstep into a small triumph or a catastrophic pratfall. Along the way we dig into the open-ended world design, the absence of a map, the optional “gamer bullshit” challenges like hats and dares, and why Baby Steps is less about rage and more about embracing failure, exploration, and weird little stories that only happen because you fell down a hill the wrong way. So listen in as we learn about patience, humility, and how sometimes the only way forward is face-planting, laughing, and taking one more careful step on the path.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Victory in DefeatJosh - Enjoying the Journey

Hace mucho, mucho tiempo, en un podcast cotidiano, muy cotidiano, tres seres humanos enchufaron sus micros, ajustaron volúmenes y concurrieron en una serie de títulos, noticias e intercambio de ideas…y de ahí nació este nuestro segundo episodio de la octava temporada. Realmente fue hace escasos días, pero entiéndase que los textos iniciales siempre deben captar la atención, entrar por la vía de la rimbombancia para quizá, avanzados los párrafos, sumirse en una especie de letargo, en un vacío semántico palpable. Hasta que llegas al tercer párrafo, querid@ oyente y descubres que llevas unos preciosos minutos de tu tiempo leyendo sobre la nada. ¡Te lo vamos a compensar! Arrancamos con el picadito de noticias, que vuelve (nunca se fue, sólo se tomó un descanso, viajó por los bordes del streaming, navegó hacia un break momentáneo…está pasando de nuevo...) y en el que repasamos algo de lo acontecido durante estos días en el mundo del videojoc. Algo comentamos sobre la subida de precios del Gamepass, el anuncio de la secuela de la película de Minecraft y el adiós a Péndulo Estudios. Proseguimos con los análisis. JK se embarca en la encomiable tarea de soportar el gameplay de Baby Steps, una propuesta que no dejará indiferente a nadie de la mano de Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo y Maxi Boch. Astro Bot reluce en su título especialmente destinado a PS5 bajo la lupa de RodoR, que encuentra algo de la esencia de los juegos de siempre bajo mucho sensor aptico y colorinchi de la mano de Team Asobi. Finalmente Travol gusta de jugar a ser un gatete en un título para toda la familia y especialmente dedicado a los amantes de los felinos con Little Kitty Big City, desarrollado por Double Dagger Studio. Una semana más joven oyente has sido testigo de las aventuras y desventuras de tres podcasters que lo darían todo por estrecharte la mano y compartir un rato contigo en formato episódico. ¿Les vas a dejar atrás?

Cette semaine, on commence par retrouver Kyle Crane, le héros du tout premier Dying Light, après une décennie d'enfermement. Forcément, il n'est pas content. Dans Dying Light : The Beast, on quitte l'univers très urbain de Dying Light 2 pour un cadre montagnard plus bucolique. Et les zombies se marient très bien au décor carte postale. On continue avec la grande randonnée de Nate, le héros de Baby Steps. En nous imposant de devoir réapprendre à marcher, les créateurs, Bennett Foddy, Gabe Cuzzillo et Maxi Boch, jouent avec nos nerfs. On s'y attendait, mais ce n'est pas moins douloureux pour autant. On termine avec le très étrange No, I'm not a Human, où il va falloir choisir avec qui on veut cohabiter et avec un des derniers rattrapages de l'été qui concerne le revival bancal de Pac-Man, Shadow Labyrinth, et Achilles Survivor, nouvelle variation tout à fait honorable du concept de Vampire Survivors.Jérémie Kletzkine, dans sa chronique jeux de société, nous parle de Tag Team.Chapitres :0:00 Intro2:58 Les news28:40 Le com des coms33:44 Dying Light: The Beast51:00 La chronique jeux de société : Tag Team55:45 Baby Steps1:38:44 La minute culturelle1:48:48 No, I'm not a Human2:07:42 Le rattrapage de l'été : Shadow Labyrinth, et Achilles Survivor2:18:39 Et quand vous ne jouez pas, vous faites quoi ?Retrouvez toutes les chroniques de jérémie dans le podcast dédié Silence on Joue !

Bennett Foddy is a game designer, moral philosopher, and musician best known for creating challenging games that explore frustration, perseverance, and the nature of play. Originally from Australia, he played bass for the electronic group Cut Copy, then in 2008 came to global recognition with QWOP, a slapstick track-and-field simulation that became an internet sensation. He followed that success with the equally maddening Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, which sparked viral streaming moments and intense discussions about game difficulty, patience, and our relationship with failure. He taught game design at NYU , and now works full-time as a designer, preparing for the release of an indie open world game, Baby Steps.Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsole Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1998's Dreamworks Interactive title, Trespasser. We set it in its time (a year with many great games... and also Trespasser) and then discuss a bit of the games foibles and noble attempts. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: First level or two Issues covered: an intro that works on many levels, repeating lines, games from this great year, a fan base that loves this game, Steven Spielberg bringing weight to bear, a relic, shooting for the stars, experimentation and memorability, the blase noting of dinosaurs, not reflecting a player's needs, learning from bad games, bringing in film people to do a game person's job, needing to get the game out, spotty voice acting, representing the character poorly, the weird IK and dinosaur behaviors, open spaces, committing to the bit, leveraging my hand, having to figure out how to solve a puzzle, outsmarting a procedurally generated raptor, other wonky games swinging for the fences, shipping a game without patches,  Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Jurassic Park, Minnie Driver, Richard Attenborough, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Baldur's Gate, Half-Life, Thief, Starcraft, RE 2, Grim Fandango, Unreal, Myth II, Fallout 2, Descent: Freespace, Starfighter, Rogue Squadron, MediEvil, Gran Turismo, Starsiege Tribes, Banjo Kazooie, Steven Spielberg, Boom Blox, EA, Wii, Louis Castle, Seamus Blackley, The Dig, Gilmore Girls, Quake, Velvet Goldmine, Studio 54, Good Will Hunting, Circle of Friends, Big Night, RTX Red Rock, Austin Grossman, Spider-man 2, Jamie Fristrom, Clint Hocking, Far Cry 2, Wayne Knight, Jeff Goldblum, DOOM (1993), System Shock (series), Surgeon Simulator, Goat Simulator, Octodad, Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, X-COM, Julian Gollop, Arkham City, Galleon, Toby Gard, Die By The Sword, Artimage, Bloodborne, Kenneth Baker, Sea of Stars, SNES, Chrono Trigger, Sabotage Studios, Twin Suns Corp, Nintendo, Switch, Tacoma, Maas Neotek, Space Oddity, David Bowie, Alan Wake, Epic, Omicron: The Nomad Soul, Quantic Dream, Microsoft, Quantum Break, Roy Orbison, The Coconut Song, Guitar Hero, Brutal Legend, Ozzy Osborne, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Arkham Knight, Control, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: More of Trespasser Twitch: brettdouville or timlongojr, instagram:timlongojr, Twitter: @timlongojr and @devgameclub Discord  DevGameClub@gmail.com

In which we speedrun GIRP (2011), and engage in some good old-fashioned digital mountaineering. Pippin decompiles a seagull. David embraces the Way of The Bride. These, and other GAMETHINGS. GIRP was developed and published by Bennett Foddy.

This community is a big tent. We welcome folks from all backgrounds, and all levels of experience with computers. Heck, on our last episode, we celebrated an article written by someone who is, rounding down, a lawyer! A constant question I ponder is: what's the best way to introduce someone to the world of FoC? If someone is a workaday programmer, or a non-programmer, what can we share with them to help them understand our area of interest? A personal favourite is the New Media Reader, but it's long and dense. An obvious crowd-pleaser is Inventing on Principle. Bonnie Nardi's A Small Matter of Programming deserves a place on the list, especially if the reader is already an avid programmer who doesn't yet understand the point of end-user programming. They might ask, "Why should typical computer users bother learning to program?" Well, that's the wrong question! Instead, we should start broader. Why do we use computers? What do we use them to do? What happens when they don't do what we want? Who controls what they do? Will this ever change? What change do we want? Nardi challenges us to explore these questions, and gives the reader a gentle but definitive push in a positive direction. Next time, we're… considered harmful? #### $ We have launched a Patreon! => patreon.com/futureofcoding If, with the warmth in your heart and the wind in your wallet, you so choose to support this show then please know that we are tremendously grateful. Producing this show takes a minor mountain of effort, and while the countless throngs of adoring fair-weather fans will surely arrive eventually, the small kilo-cadre of diehard listeners we've accrued so far makes each new episode a true joy to share. Through thick and thin (mostly thin since the sponsorship landscape turned barren) we're going to keep doing our darnedest to make something thought-provoking with an independent spirit. If that tickles you pink, throw some wood in our fireplace! (Yes, Ivan is writing this, how can you tell?) Also, it doesn't hurt that the 2nd bonus episode — "Inherently Spatial" — is one of the best episodes of the show yet. It defrags so hard; you'll love it. #### Init Bug report: Frog Fractions. Oh the indignity! Hey, it's The Witness in our show notes again. Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is the better game, even if it spawned Only Up and other copycats that miss the point. The Looker gets the point. Getting Over It is a triumph that emerged from a genre of games that are hard to play: Octodad, QWOP, I Am Bread Braid arguably spawned the genre of high-minded & heady puzzlers that all try to say something profound through their design. Cookie Clicker and Universal Paperclips are good incremental games. Jump King and Only Up are intentionally bad. Flappy Bird was accidentally good. Surgeon Simulator and Goat Simulator are purely for the laughs. Stanley Parable, like Getting Over It, brings in the voice of the creator to (say) invite rumination on the fourth wall, which is what make them transcendent. Here's the trailer for Bennett Foddy's new game, Baby Steps. So on the one hand we have all these "bad" and """bad""" and sometimes badgames, which actually end up doing quite well in advancing the culture. On the other hand we have The Witness, The Talos Principal, Swapper, Antichamber, QUBE, and all these high-minded puzzly games, which despite their best efforts to say something through their design… kinda don't. When comparing the "interactivity" of these games, it's tempting to talk about the mechanics (or dynamics), but that formal definition feels a little too precise. We mean something looser — something closer to the colloquial meaning when "Gamers" talk about "game mechanics". Silent Football might be an example of "sports as art". Mao is a card game where explaining the rules is forbidden. #### Main The Partially Examined Life is one of Jimmy's favourite philosophy podcasts. Two essays from Scientific American's 1991 Special Issue Communications, Computers and Networks are referenced in the first chapter, one by Larry Tesler and one by Alan Kay. The other essays in this issue are also quite interesting to reflect on from our position 30 years hence. Apple's Knowledge Navigator video, and HP's 1995 video, are speculative fiction marketing about conversational agents. Rewind.ai is one of those "Computer, when did I last degauss the tachyon masticator?" tools. (Oh, Lifestreams…) S-GPT is Federico Viticci's iOS/Mac Shortcut that strings together ChatGPT and various Shortcuts features, so that you can do some nifty automation stuff via a conversational interface. It feels like similar things could be built — heck, probably already have been built — with "If-Tuh-Tuh-Tuh" or Zapier. When Ivan reaches for domain-specific terminology, LUT, Arri Alexa, and Redcome easily because, like, he wishes he had occasion to use them. To hear the story about the Secret Service busting down young Jimmy's door, listen to his episode on the Code With Jason podcast. C Is Not a Low-level Language — a fantastic article about the illusion that our source code closely matches what actually happens during execution. What Follows from Empirical Software Research? Not much, according to Jimmy in this delightful article. Jimmy likes to reference Minecraft's "redstone" which acts a bit like a programming system, so here, have a video about redstone. Ivan saw this video via Mastodon, about someone making a "real" camera in Blender, and… just… 

What's more rage inducing than failing time and time again when faced with a particularly challenging area in a video game? The real answer, for those of us with a temper, is ultimately being unable to complete the challenge indefinitely due to the fact that you've resorted to breaking your controller over the same thick skull that couldn't figure out how to "Get Over It" with Bennett Foddy. While sometimes all it takes is a quick head smack, or an "ah-HAH" moment, a few levels in video games tower above the rest, planting their flags mountains of busted controllers and earning their spot in a list of the 100 Hardest Levels in Video Game History. Thankfully the talented folks over at Vulture have put in a painstaking amount of effort to piece together a wonderful article which outlines their picks for this list. We figured we'd use this wonderful bit of gaming journalism as a jumping off point to talk about some of the picks we agreed with, some we didn't, and the levels which would have topped our own lists. The article is a "must read" and we'd highly suggest digesting it, or even following along as the episode goes.

We speak intentionally frustrating games, inspired by Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

We're joined by dear friends of the show Laura E. Hall, Bennett Foddy, and Doseone for a Doug-mastermined, Eggplant-themed game of Just One. Stick around after the insanity for a reflection on the past four years of the show, how our lives have changed since, and what the show means to us (and you - thanks for the letters!).

With Zipper for Playdate, game designer, developer, and philosopher Bennett Foddy wanted to share his love of the particular style of isometric tactics games he grew up playing on the ZX Spectrum--games that may be unfamiliar to people from the United States. Drawing on the influences of Akira Kurosawa, the anime and manga series "Bleach", and the British game "Last Ninja 2," Zipper is a beautifully-crafted homage to classic samurai films and 8-bit black and white games.

Well today is a weird one. Matt has come a long way in his relationship with difficulty and frustration and this is a chance to put that to the test. But the real test is the fact that Hunter is actually playing and trying to beat Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy for the first time while recording the episode. Experience the highs and the lows in real time and see if Hunter can Get Over It with Matt jabbering on in his ear.

This Week on The Casual Hour... We break down all the announcements from Nintendo's stealth Direct Mini (and Chase laments the lack of Fire Emblem information). Despite the “mini” nature, there was a lot to unpack here, along with a few fun surprises. Meanwhile on the game-playing front, Chase has finished Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, which has made room on his plate for….Fire Emblem: Awakening. Guess he really likes that franchise or something. Bobby's testing the strategy game waters as well with his foray into the iPad version of XCOM: Enemy Within, which seems like a dream compared to the other game he's playing: Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy.

From its title to its premise, Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy reads as a dark joke. Whether that a joke includes you or not, though, is impossible to say. It's true that the PC game is uproariously, darkly funny. It has a simple aim: climb this mountain. The only problem is that your character is a man stuck inside a pot, his only climbing implement a hammer he can swing.
