Fortnite has paid out roughly $500 million to creators since UEFN and Creator Economy 2.0 launched in March of 2023. These payouts, which have increased 32.5% YoY (measured from March through September), are showing no signs of slowing down. However, Fortnite Creative engagement as a proportion of total Fortnite engagement has actually declined as Epic has launched more successful modes like 'Reload.' What will it take for Epic's $500 million investment to turn into a thriving UGC ecosystem that creates more value than it costs? Where does the Fortnite economy go from here? Joining host David Taylor today are two top Fortnite creators and influencers, Chad Mustard (aka MustardPlays) and Michael Ha (aka Birdo).MustardPlays has accumulated over 900K followers on Youtube with his Fortnite Creative content, and his company JOGO Studios, which he co-founded with TypicalGamer, is the 4th most popular game on Fortnite at the time of recording. Birdo created a Fortnite-focused TikTok following of over 2M. He then hit it big with Minigame Box PvP, which has been played for 5 billion minutes or 1% of all Fortnite Creative time since the release of UEFN in March 2023.We'd also like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!

Et comme il est entouré de pas pire gamers en Julien Bernatchez, Guillaume Dupuis et Mathieu Niquette, la discussion s'enflamme rapidement, court dans tous les sens et va dans des zones beaucoup trop nichées pour que ce soit accessible, mais malgré tout, on sait que vous adorez ça!

Et Guillaume Dupuis nous appelle du futur et le Guillaume Dupuis du présent arrive avec un boutte de carotte prouvant que la fin du monde approche, mais le lore est pas si clair que ça! Et dans le segment Eros, il nous présente son nouvel oeuf en acier inoxydable qui est encore plus gros que l'autre (qu'il a donné à une personne mystère qui a le plancher pelvien bien entraîné).

Paper Mario y la puerta milenaria quizás no sea el juego más conocido de la saga Mario, pero sí es uno de los más queridos por quienes lo han jugado. En la nueva versión que salió la semana pasada el juego está tal y como lo recordamos, y eso nos ha hecho pensar sobre su aproximación minimalista, cómica y dulce a las historias clásicas de aventuras. Además, hablamos de otros juegos y personajes "de culto" de la saga Mario, incluyendo los personajes Birdo y Bibiana, dos narrativas trans adelantadas a su tiempo que debutaron en Super Mario Bros 2. y este mismo Paper Mario.

Owen (Dictatezo), Seb (Whitinho Santos), and James (Goblauro) catch up in this week's RYWYLF in the absence of Tommy (Gooseca the Asthmatic Rhino) and pull their socks up to talk Brazilian nicknames, al Capocannoniere (or something like that), ghost goals, the endless need for narrative, Edin Džeko swanning about at Inter, football stadiums as Transformers, watching a game at the indomitable San Siro, a man walks into a bar, 35 being old, pronouncing banal as baynle, old-school buzzer noises, liver-ripping orcas, Educating Seb, J. League mascots who lunch, massaging beer-drinking cows, Birdo's foodie credentials, a hench owl, Gulliver White's selfies with Lilliputians, player watching, the work of art, coveting canvas, twitching, Eddie Abbew, running for the bus, common sense, a battle with a bike shed, and somehow so much more!Get the latest issue of MUNDIAL Mag hereSign up for the The Hat-Trick NewsletterFollow MUNDIAL on Twitter - @mundialmagFollow MUNDIAL on Instagram - @mundialmag Hosted on Acast.

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we talk about where Nintendo can take its moustachioed mascot next when he returns for the Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel. We heard confirmation of a second Mario film this week, though notably it was not confirmed this would be "The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2". Mario and friends will return, of course (the first film's billion dollar box office guaranteed that), but Nintendo was typically coy around what exactly this follow-up will focus on. Donkey Kong? Daisy? Yoshi? Birdo? We get our thinking Cappy's on to theorise where the Mushroom Kingdom's story might go next, and whether this is all leading to some kind of Avengers-esque Super Smash Bros. team up movie. Or, alternatively, whether none of this really matters as it's just a light-hearted film for families. With me this week are Eurogamer's Ed Nightingale, Victoria Kennedy and Liv Ngan.

My name is Al and my [00:37.140 –> 00:46.880] name is Bev and we’re here today to talk about farming, no cottagecore games. Apparently [00:46.880 –> 00:52.320] that is just like muscle memory for my brain now because it’s been going on for so long. [00:52.320 –> 00:56.960] I was actually thinking while I was doing that intro, how do people with multiple podcasts [00:56.960 –> 01:02.360] do it? I don’t know. How do they remember which podcast they’re introing? Maybe like [01:02.360 –> 01:07.120] they I don’t know if they just had like some sort of routine that gets it into like into [01:07.120 –> 01:11.840] the specific podcast. Yeah yeah like this is this is the thing I do before this podcast [01:11.840 –> 01:17.080] and it’s like you juggle or something yeah yeah that would work. There’s a friend in [01:17.080 –> 01:23.880] my D&D group who like she had like a Scottish character like a Scottish dwarf and every [01:23.880 –> 01:28.960] time she she couldn’t do the accent unless she did like this little like song beforehand [01:28.960 –> 01:33.360] so she would do the song and then just like talk in a Scottish accent for like the rest [01:33.360 –> 01:39.600] of the day. But she could not get started without it so yeah just some sort of routine [01:39.600 –> 01:46.200] I guess that triggers it. Yeah I I mean I’m going to guess that the accent was probably [01:46.200 –> 01:51.800] not great anyway. I don’t know I thought it was pretty great but yeah but how do you what [01:51.800 –> 01:56.000] do you what do you think about Shrek’s accent that’s the real question? Uh I mean I don’t [01:56.000 –> 02:05.160] know no I could no it’s not okay I mean it’s Shrek. I mean I’m not saying it would be Shrek [02:05.160 –> 02:09.200] but I think that’s a good indication of whether people think something is a good Scottish [02:09.200 –> 02:12.800] accent or not and if they think that Shrek is a good Scottish accent then they don’t [02:12.800 –> 02:16.880] know what a Scottish accent is. I guess I don’t know I watch a lot of Outlander so I [02:16.880 –> 02:22.880] feel like I have a better representation maybe. I have heard of that I have no idea what it [02:22.880 –> 02:30.440] is. Okay I would recommend it’s a if you like like historical fiction it’s essentially someone [02:30.440 –> 02:34.760] going back in time to like the I don’t know seven goodness I don’t even know like what [02:34.760 –> 02:40.860] 1700s maybe in the Scottish Highlands. Oh my word like they’ve actually got like proper [02:40.860 –> 02:50.280] Scots in this as well. Mm-hmm I’m gonna watch it. Probably not. Okay. Interesting mm-hmm [02:50.280 –> 02:57.160] it’s Lionsgate. Mm-hmm yeah so it’s like behind a payroll there’s the first like three seasons [02:57.160 –> 03:04.700] I think are at least the US like Netflix but not all of them. I mean basically basically [03:04.700 –> 03:11.120] nothing’s on Netflix anymore other than Netflix stuff mm-hmm where is it it is on yeah it’s [03:11.120 –> 03:17.320] on well they’re calling it stars now but that’s one of those it’s one of those Amazon Prime [03:17.320 –> 03:21.360] channels that you have to have Amazon Prime and then you also have to pay for this extra [03:21.360 –> 03:28.120] channel on top. Right yep I hate it. Alright let’s move away from subscriptions please [03:28.120 –> 03:40.160] I’m all tied out. Alright this is a podcast about Cottagecore games. Uh-huh. We this episode [03:40.160 –> 03:45.960] we’re gonna talk about Cult of the Lamb this is our second harvest on Cult of the Lamb [03:45.960 –> 03:51.840] the previous episode will be in the show notes if you want to listen to that first by Kevin [03:51.840 –> 03:59.320] and Kelly mm-hmm but me and Bev had some thoughts and it’s been a while since I we decided to [03:59.320 –> 04:03.960] do this so I can’t remember what my thoughts were but I’m sure they’ll come back. Uh-huh [04:03.960 –> 04:09.680] I it’s yeah it’s also been a while but I did start up playing it today so I can revisit [04:09.680 –> 04:16.400] this world and try to create some thoughts. Yeah I talked a little bit about it in the [04:16.400 –> 04:23.280] game of the year episode as well but mm-hmm anyway. Before that oh I need to say this [04:23.280 –> 04:28.840] I need to get into the habit of saying this right up front. Transcripts for the podcast [04:28.840 –> 04:32.360] are now available in the show notes and on the website and they say it’s best to say [04:32.360 –> 04:37.920] it as early in the podcast as possible for obvious reasons so there you go. Beautiful. [04:37.920 –> 04:42.600] So we’re gonna talk about Cult of the Lamb before that we’re gonna have some news but [04:42.600 –> 04:48.200] first of all Bev what have you been playing? I’ve been playing a lot of Stardew ever since [04:48.200 –> 04:56.400] I saw that concerned ape treat for the seven years I’ve just been immersed and I think [04:56.400 –> 05:03.440] I’m finally going to reach like one point the 1.5 update finally so I’m excited to reach [05:03.440 –> 05:08.060] this new venture in this game that I haven’t actually played yet. Did you do a new save [05:08.060 –> 05:13.680] or are you on top of one of your old ones? I did a new one. Wow mm-hmm fair enough mm-hmm [05:13.680 –> 05:19.760] how about you what are you been playing? I have been playing a couple of things so I’ve [05:19.760 –> 05:26.080] been playing Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity I think it’s called the newer one whatever [05:26.080 –> 05:29.480] I’ve just slowly been playing through that I think I talked about that in the last episode [05:29.480 –> 05:34.320] that I did so yeah I’ve just been slowly playing through that I’m not sure when I’ll finish [05:34.320 –> 05:40.600] it I’ll probably take a break this week because the new Kirby game just arrived at my house [05:40.600 –> 05:48.440] so I’m gonna play that. Exciting. Yeah yeah very exciting I’ve also been playing the Bloom [05:48.440 –> 05:55.680] update which I’ll talk about more in the news soon bear with and I’ve also been playing [05:55.680 –> 06:02.640] the new Mario Kart levels and I actually I had not I hadn’t actually finished playing [06:02.640 –> 06:06.240] the previous ones because I can’t remember when they must have been like just before [06:06.240 –> 06:09.720] Christmas or something so it was just really busy with lots of other things so I ended [06:09.720 –> 06:16.340] up not not three starting them so I’ve been doing that and then moving on to the new ones [06:16.340 –> 06:22.240] as well so yeah. Is this Mario Party 8? Yes. Okay so I was gonna say a new one I haven’t [06:22.240 –> 06:28.900] heard of a new one coming out. No but it’s interesting because so they say so when they [06:28.900 –> 06:33.640] announced this DLC they announced at the beginning of last year or middle middle of the beginning [06:33.640 –> 06:38.840] of last year sometime early last year and they said they were going to be six waves [06:38.840 –> 06:47.000] over basically two years so up till the end of this year and then that kind of string [06:47.000 –> 06:54.660] that that text on the DLC has kind of has been deleted so that’s interesting and people [06:54.660 –> 07:00.440] are leading to believe to think that that means there’s going to be more it possibly [07:00.440 –> 07:04.600] could mean that this is not all going to be done by the end of this year I would be surprised [07:04.600 –> 07:09.200] if that was the case right because like there’s only two more waves to go and not managing [07:09.200 –> 07:14.840] to do two more waves this year would be surprising so I’m also probably leaning towards the idea [07:14.840 –> 07:21.260] that there’s possibly more coming but also adding to that speculation in this DLC pack [07:21.260 –> 07:31.240] sorry wave need to use the right terminology this DLC waves are transient why would you [07:31.240 –> 07:36.080] use wave when you’ve got when you want people to continue playing things don’t use terminology [07:36.080 –> 07:43.740] about transient things well it like the well waves always sure they’re like transient but [07:43.740 –> 07:48.240] there’s always a wave after the wave yeah but that’s that’s well exactly so it makes [07:48.240 –> 07:56.000] it worse right I don’t know it’s gonna be infinite infinite number of waves right like [07:56.000 –> 08:00.360] you never stop the waves and they’re all transient and I just it doesn’t feel like the right [08:00.360 –> 08:04.420] terminology they would want to use for this thing come on I mean they haven’t come out [08:04.420 –> 08:08.960] with a Mario Kart like 9 so I think that is what they’re doing is just trying to like [08:08.960 –> 08:14.160] string this game out for as long as possible before they come up with a new one oh who [08:14.160 –> 08:24.340] knows who knows so the other the other speculation is in this wave they released Birdo as a playable [08:24.340 –> 08:31.180] character in the game hmm which Birdo has been available in previous games and fun fact [08:31.180 –> 08:37.240] I don’t know whether you’re aware of this Bev Birdo the only canonically trans character [08:37.240 –> 08:45.180] in Mario what I did not know this yeah okay was confirmed canonically as trans in something [08:45.180 –> 08:56.460] like 1993 wow obviously obviously the terminology is not great so you have to bear in mind that [08:56.460 –> 09:02.340] this was the early 90s I’m still incredibly progressive to have a trans character in a [09:02.340 –> 09:10.440] video game coming out of like Japan well yeah yeah yeah that’s a good point okay my new [09:10.440 –> 09:17.240] favorite character is now Birdo Birdo also you can get in all nine colors that you can [09:17.240 –> 09:21.540] get the Yoshi’s in which is fun I’ve been playing as the light blue Birdo I just okay [09:21.540 –> 09:29.980] just because it’s fun but in the game on the character selection screen they didn’t just [09:29.980 –> 09:36.220] add Birdo they also added I think it was five question marks as well so the speculation [09:36.220 –> 09:41.820] is that there are five more characters coming to the game that sounds about right now if [09:41.820 –> 09:46.420] they were to do let’s say for example the two more waves that they were planning to [09:46.420 –> 09:51.460] do this year they do them this year and there’s also a character in them that would leave [09:51.460 –> 09:57.500] three characters left to come which if they were to do another year the same as they have [09:57.500 –> 10:03.140] been doing these two years that would be another three waves so all of that speculation to [10:03.140 –> 10:08.540] come would imply possibly theoretically that there would be three more waves coming next [10:08.540 –> 10:15.860] year that’s a lot considering this game came out in well how many years has it been now [10:15.860 –> 10:22.060] so I was actually looking at this the other day I love to look at these things I mean [10:22.060 –> 10:28.680] first of all right the the game is insane like the amount of sales is just quite insane [10:28.680 –> 10:35.860] right so if you look at the sales right the set up until recently the best-selling Mario [10:35.860 –> 10:44.500] Kart game was Mario Kart Wii right okay and Mario Kart Wii sold in total 37 million copies [10:44.500 –> 10:55.160] which is a lot for a video game right that made it in the top like 15 I think best-selling [10:55.160 –> 11:03.620] video games okay wow okay roughly and it’s obviously these things are not static so certainly [11:03.620 –> 11:09.580] until recently it was in the top 15 best-selling video games of all it’s currently the 16 okay [11:09.580 –> 11:18.700] Mario Kart 8 so ignoring 8 so just the switch version has sold 52 million copies okay 52 [11:18.700 –> 11:30.100] million copies making a revenue of 2 billion dollars oh my goodness that’s a lot I can [11:30.100 –> 11:35.740] see why it’s okay it’s much more on the switch because I feel like this people are people [11:35.740 –> 11:41.380] like this which much more than people liked the Wii this is Wii not DS Wii oh sorry well [11:41.380 –> 11:48.540] it’s also on the DS so isn’t it not Mario Kart Wii Mario Kart Wii was just on the Wii [11:48.540 –> 11:55.840] well no Mario Kart 8 that was on the Wii U okay well never mind I don’t know I’m tired [11:55.840 –> 11:59.780] I’m gonna blame you on that so if you if you include if you combine the two Mario Kart [11:59.780 –> 12:04.420] 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe right because they’re basically the same game it’s just that they [12:04.420 –> 12:09.940] have now added more content like the only recently until last year Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [12:09.940 –> 12:14.980] was just Mario Kart 8 with the DLC right it was the exact same game everything else [12:14.980 –> 12:18.940] was exactly the same it was just on the switch so if you include if you combine the two of [12:18.940 –> 12:27.100] them they have sold 60 million copies oh my goodness in total Mario Kart have sold 166 [12:27.100 –> 12:35.620] million copies in total so Mario Kart 8 and Deluxe have together it’s over a third of [12:35.620 –> 12:42.780] all Mario Kart sales that’s pretty okay so I could definitely see why they they’re they [12:42.780 –> 12:48.380] are making waves and trying to prolong this as long as possible absolutely they sold four [12:48.380 –> 12:55.420] million copies in the last quarter of last year oh goodness Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U [12:55.420 –> 13:02.980] only sold 8 million copies so half of what they sold on that game in the last quarter [13:02.980 –> 13:09.580] of last year the the first Mario Kart only sold 8 million copies the second Mario Kart [13:09.580 –> 13:15.860] sold 10 million copies the GBA version which is the third one sold 6 million copies right [13:15.860 –> 13:21.860] like it’s just it’s absolutely insane the numbers on this I can’t I just I cannot get [13:21.860 –> 13:29.980] over how absolutely crazy it is anyway we were talking about dates Mario Kart Wii came [13:29.980 –> 13:35.740] out in 2008 Mario Kart 7 which was the 3DS version came out okay that’s what I was thinking [13:35.740 –> 13:43.940] of 2011 so there was three years between Wii and 7 and Mario Kart 8 which was the Wii U [13:43.940 –> 13:50.940] the first version of this was on the Wii U was 2014 so between Wii and 8 that was six [13:50.940 –> 13:56.940] years okay and that was 2014 nine years ago so it’s been nine years since my oh my goodness [13:56.940 –> 14:02.860] nine years okay next year will be 10 years maybe they’re waiting for that 10 years maybe [14:02.860 –> 14:07.260] they’re like intentionally pushing it back I would not be surprised I think at this point [14:07.260 –> 14:12.060] they’re just waiting for the next console whatever that is are we look are we like looking [14:12.060 –> 14:18.320] at a console yeah of course like would that just be the switch pro no I mean I don’t I [14:18.320 –> 14:22.180] think at this point they’re not doing a switch pro yeah I think they’ve done their their [14:22.180 –> 14:26.540] stuff right they’ve done the the OLED that I think that’s all they’re doing I don’t think [14:26.540 –> 14:30.620] they’re doing any more than that but fine let me get them let me get the dates out again [14:30.620 –> 14:37.260] shall I I did these I did this before but I can’t remember exactly what it was but I’m [14:37.260 –> 14:46.380] pretty sure that this is the like second longest between consoles Nintendo consoles now the [14:46.380 –> 14:53.220] it depends how you count them I’m basically counting Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, DS, 3DS [14:53.220 –> 15:03.260] and NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch right so I’m counting kind of those [15:03.260 –> 15:08.260] gaps yeah I think the only gaps the only gaps that were bigger than the current gap are [15:08.260 –> 15:15.340] NES to SNES and Gameboy to Gameboy Advance okay the Wii U came out in 2017 and it was [15:15.340 –> 15:20.260] five years until the Switch came out the Wii came out in 2006 it was six years until the [15:20.260 –> 15:25.460] Wii U came out okay well there’s a pattern here because the SNES the NES to the SNES [15:25.460 –> 15:30.900] so you just added super in front of it and Gameboy and Gameboy Advance they just added [15:30.900 –> 15:37.100] advance to the end of that and Wii, Wii U yeah yeah yeah I know but but what I will [15:37.100 –> 15:41.380] say is those ones tend to be less successful uh-huh I don’t think they’ll just do like [15:41.380 –> 15:46.420] a Switch 2 or I think well they might they might they might jump onto the branding but [15:46.420 –> 15:51.740] like I think Switch 2 would be better than like Switch U or something like that because [15:51.740 –> 15:57.580] the problem is like Wii U and Gameboy Advance they kind of sound like they don’t sound like [15:57.580 –> 16:01.980] new consoles they sound like uh like the problem that we use people always thought it was just [16:01.980 –> 16:07.220] an accessory for the Wii right not a new console in and of itself so they just add super in [16:07.220 –> 16:13.580] front of Switch and it’ll just be SN I guess no no no wow yeah yeah that’s not gonna be [16:13.580 –> 16:23.460] great no I’m sorry did you hear that as it came out your mouth yes I did no no please [16:23.460 –> 16:35.340] Nintendo that feels like something Nintendo would do I know I’m scared now cuz I I feel [16:35.340 –> 16:39.420] like the biggest complaints I was just performance for a switch I could definitely see them working [16:39.420 –> 16:45.580] hard to that’s really yeah there’s nothing else right now like people like oh what but [16:45.580 –> 16:48.860] this what but that right but that’s not really something that’s kind of widely accepted like [16:48.860 –> 16:52.940] it’s it’s it’s performance people just want it to be more performance maybe they like [16:52.940 –> 16:57.700] some people want 4k I don’t know if we’re gonna get 4k I don’t really care right like [16:57.700 –> 17:04.860] does it really matter if Mario Kart’s in 4k or 1080p yeah just want it to be more performant [17:04.860 –> 17:11.500] mm-hmm can you imagine scarlet and violet on a more powerful console yeah I want it [17:11.500 –> 17:21.660] I want it anyway um is have I talked about everything yeah that’s all that’s what we’ve [17:21.660 –> 17:28.380] been playing uh-huh should we talk about some news yes let’s do it otherwise we’re gonna [17:28.380 –> 17:40.340] be the Nintendo yeah Nintendo power mm-hmm so we had the playdate update last week which [17:40.340 –> 17:44.100] announced a number of things and one of the things that they announced was that there’s [17:44.100 –> 17:53.660] a new update of my favorite game on the playdate bloom bloom 1.1 is out now the main thing [17:53.660 –> 18:01.280] is some new story and new flowers but there’s a couple of other cool things for example [18:01.280 –> 18:06.740] they have like lo-fi beats mode so you know that you know I’m talking about the kind of [18:06.740 –> 18:12.540] youtube videos of the person studying with the music they basically implement and implemented [18:12.540 –> 18:17.300] that into the game they called it simple mode and you’re just in the game and you just press [18:17.300 –> 18:23.520] the the button and you go to simple mode and it just plays that music or chill mode sorry [18:23.520 –> 18:31.380] okay I was gonna say like how how is it a mode like are you just changing the soundtrack [18:31.380 –> 18:37.020] to why call it a mode and so I guess it’s not it takes you out of the game essentially [18:37.020 –> 18:41.700] and it puts you into like the screen just shows what you see in those youtube videos [18:41.700 –> 18:45.740] okay so the idea is that it’s meant to just be like oh I’m not playing the game just now [18:45.740 –> 18:53.740] but I like the music you turn it on it’s a music player now basically yeah okay interesting [18:53.740 –> 19:00.340] I I don’t I feel like it’s not worth that battery well the screen’s not changing right [19:00.340 –> 19:04.260] I suppose but it’s still wasting like it’s a tiny little thing and you’re just playing [19:04.260 –> 19:09.740] music well look it’ll be great it’ll be great once you got the stereo dock on yeah I’m very [19:09.740 –> 19:17.300] excited for that mm-hmm okay I want this game but I don’t think it’s worth buying a playdate [19:17.300 –> 19:24.980] for yet au contraire it is absolutely worth buying a playdate just for this game this [19:24.980 –> 19:32.380] game does not cost ten dollars this car this game costs ten dollars plus a playdate that’s [19:32.380 –> 19:39.460] so if we’re going by like the assumption that every dollar is worth like an hour worth of [19:39.460 –> 19:46.520] gameplay that’s like 280 hours of gameplay I mean I don’t so I don’t subscribe to that [19:46.520 –> 19:51.100] I I strongly disagree with that theory I don’t think that you should I do not think the game [19:51.100 –> 19:55.460] should be ranked based on how many hours they have because that’s how we end up in a situation [19:55.460 –> 20:00.660] where games end up having pointless stuff in them yeah I completely I understand that [20:00.660 –> 20:04.940] like I my only argument is maybe like the sixty eighty dollar games that are like you [20:04.940 –> 20:15.980] know ten hours long no well I don’t know like if mmm I’m on the fence like I see I see the [20:15.980 –> 20:23.500] point of it and at the same time I want games to be cheaper for like that level of like [20:23.500 –> 20:28.420] gameplay I think it depends on what you get out of the game right and I think my point [20:28.420 –> 20:37.260] is like personally I would rather the game was shorter and more concise and better than [20:37.260 –> 20:42.740] you know takes me 200 hours to get through I don’t want to have to spend that long in [20:42.740 –> 20:52.180] a game it just it feels pointless to me it’s not fun well that depends on the game like [20:52.180 –> 20:58.760] I can look at your Pokemon scarlet violet hours and say you know this was probably worth [20:58.760 –> 21:05.740] the sixty dollars that Nintendo was was was you know charging for that so it’s it’s not [21:05.740 –> 21:11.380] so much about like the length of the game maybe but maybe more so replayability even [21:11.380 –> 21:17.380] like it I don’t I’m also really tired of 200 plus hour games I don’t have enough time I’m [21:17.380 –> 21:20.840] not like a full-time streamer I don’t have time to play these games and complete them [21:20.840 –> 21:27.940] the way that I would like to but if you have like a really nice short game that is fantastic [21:27.940 –> 21:34.540] to play again over and over like you know maybe like turnip boy means evades tax evasion [21:34.540 –> 21:43.060] or I haven’t played this but a slow hike like those games have like a lot of replayability [21:43.060 –> 21:48.420] and they’re done very well and I feel like they probably would be worth you know maybe [21:48.420 –> 21:54.040] twice as much as they’re being charged for so I think I find this I find it a funny idea [21:54.040 –> 21:59.660] the the concept of replayability right because like every game is replayable right other [21:59.660 –> 22:05.500] the other than say for example detective games where once you’ve figured out it’s not fun [22:05.500 –> 22:14.140] anymore right I the idea of this game is replayable like I don’t surely it’s just about whether [22:14.140 –> 22:20.500] you want to replay it or not right like I very rarely replay games so Pokemon is basically [22:20.500 –> 22:27.140] my exception right Pokemon is the game that I will infinitely play and I will put insane [22:27.140 –> 22:40.300] amounts of hours into right like that is my exception and possibly no so I think so no [22:40.300 –> 22:44.640] I keep going back to Mario Kart to finish the new stuff because I enjoyed completing [22:44.640 –> 22:49.420] the new stuff but I don’t go and play Mario Kart if I’ve or if there’s nothing that I’ve [22:49.420 –> 22:55.900] not completed so I would the only time other times I would play Mario Kart is when I’m [22:55.900 –> 23:00.980] a gathering of people and we want to play something right so party games are different [23:00.980 –> 23:05.300] yes right we I don’t think we can compare party games and single-player game I don’t [23:05.300 –> 23:10.620] think that makes any sense well I mean it has that level we play like like if you just [23:10.620 –> 23:14.780] depending on how you define replayability like even if it is only a party game you are [23:14.780 –> 23:21.620] playing it again like replaying it sure but like that’s the point uh-huh I feel like we’re [23:21.620 –> 23:28.500] just hard we’re just arguing semantics now I know yeah we are I don’t know where I dove [23:28.500 –> 23:34.580] into this hole and I want how to get out of it I want game stories to be shorter I and [23:34.580 –> 23:38.780] that’s all I was saying okay I don’t know how we got to that point well because because [23:38.780 –> 23:44.540] you’re saying the play date is worth it’s worth buying just for bloom and I don’t want [23:44.540 –> 23:53.740] to drop to this one game obviously obviously I’m joking uh-huh right bloom is a fantastic [23:53.740 –> 23:58.660] game and I think that if you can afford a play date mm-hmm and you have that sort of [23:58.660 –> 24:03.260] money to just drop on something like that which I understand most people do not then [24:03.260 –> 24:07.460] it’s worth it okay if you don’t have that sort of money then it’s absolutely not worth [24:07.460 –> 24:16.340] it okay all right I’m happy with this yeah I am very much enjoying it the all the other [24:16.340 –> 24:21.620] fun it’s like they’ve got lots of other other random little things like in your phone you [24:21.620 –> 24:27.940] have you can now change the background you and there’s like loads of little cute pictures [24:27.940 –> 24:33.300] of like the two the main character and her girlfriend like and you just like rotate it’s [24:33.300 –> 24:38.940] so cute who do you have as what is your current background then I mean it’s just it’s one [24:38.940 –> 24:43.100] of those pictures of it’s okay I think there’s some other I think there’s like some flower [24:43.100 –> 24:47.940] ones as well but I just find one that I liked I will leave a screenshot in the show notes [24:47.940 –> 24:53.380] for people beautiful of the background that I chose that I thought was particularly cute [24:53.380 –> 25:04.540] to have all right go play bloom ooblets 1.1 localization update is out now so if you if [25:04.540 –> 25:08.900] you speak French German or Spanish and you don’t speak English you’re not listening to [25:08.900 –> 25:15.900] this podcast unless you’re bilingual sure if you would if you’re bilingual and you would [25:15.900 –> 25:21.780] prefer to play the game in your native language go do it now or if maybe you’re like me and [25:21.780 –> 25:27.100] you want to practice a second language go play this game now his game is really the [25:27.100 –> 25:34.020] best way to do that like that feels yes no like I’ve struggled in the past with Pokemon [25:34.020 –> 25:38.080] so I’ve I’ve learned I can’t do that with a new game I should at least play it once [25:38.080 –> 25:44.700] before before trying to play in Spanish but I’ve spent a lot of hours in ooblets and it [25:44.700 –> 25:49.380] would be very interesting to see how they translated all their like quirky little sayings [25:49.380 –> 25:59.900] into Spanish so now I’m very intrigued the the update did cause a big bug that basically [25:59.900 –> 26:05.100] meant the game crashed anytime you tried to open it but that’s fixed so that’s all good [26:05.100 –> 26:09.540] I am really intrigued as to how like that because it sounds like it happened for most [26:09.540 –> 26:15.700] people so there’s obviously something that they forgot to test that basically happened [26:15.700 –> 26:22.180] for everybody I am fascinated as to how that happened but anyway I don’t know whether we’ll [26:22.180 –> 26:27.940] ever know I guess not unless they talk about it in one of their news they have been reasonably [26:27.940 –> 26:33.740] open about things so who knows at verdant village I’ve not talked about this a huge [26:33.740 –> 26:40.160] man on the podcast but it’s a game that’s in early access they’re rewriting it in a [26:40.160 –> 26:45.280] different game engine so realistically there’s going to be almost no updates for the next [26:45.280 –> 26:52.560] like year or two probably they don’t have a time frame they said that they won’t update [26:52.560 –> 26:57.960] until it’s got close to feature parity of what they currently have and I don’t know [26:57.960 –> 27:03.780] about the two engines whether there’s it’s easy to put things between them my like gripe [27:03.780 –> 27:17.540] about this update is that they have a tldr but it’s in the middle it’s also like it’s [27:17.540 –> 27:23.540] not really a tldr it’s tldr for some of it yeah for the tldr game is made in construct [27:23.540 –> 27:28.900] 3 construct 3 has many issues in my opinion that cause weird bugs and other issues uh-huh [27:28.900 –> 27:33.120] okay but you’re missing the big part which is we’re going to rewrite and not construct [27:33.120 –> 27:41.660] 3 yeah yeah oh yeah it’s it’s a little a little bizarre but you know it’s fine it’s fine um [27:41.660 –> 27:46.660] I you know it’s a lot of information in there so I you know I generally appreciate when [27:46.660 –> 27:52.660] devs are more you know forthcoming than not um so I mean you don’t have to read it if [27:52.660 –> 27:59.980] you don’t want to so it’s fine and we have a couple new games um so the first one is [27:59.980 –> 28:07.180] before the green moon a science fiction farming simulator game set in a small community at [28:07.180 –> 28:12.620] the base of a space elevator during the days and seasons leading up to your departure for [28:12.620 –> 28:19.780] the moon this one looks I don’t know like I like the landscape style but I don’t think [28:19.780 –> 28:31.340] I like the like character styles I yeah so I don’t like to be too harsh on indie games [28:31.340 –> 28:37.260] uh-huh but I’m not a huge fan of any of these graphics mm-hmm there is like a green like [28:37.260 –> 28:45.100] overall like vibe to this and I guess I like that it’s on brand with green boom I guess [28:45.100 –> 28:51.220] yeah the green moon is it’s I mean this is very definitely not on earth like the moon [28:51.220 –> 29:00.060] I mean it looks like a brain right it’s like wrinkly and all very interesting um I don’t [29:00.060 –> 29:06.780] yeah I oh just everything about these everything about this graph these graphics just makes [29:06.780 –> 29:14.780] me feel uncomfortable it feels very like gamecube like graphics I feel like yeah oh that’s what [29:14.780 –> 29:18.900] they’re doing isn’t it yeah I’ve talked about this on the podcast before but we don’t need [29:18.900 –> 29:26.540] nostalgia for every everything right we don’t need nostalgia for the bad 3d graphics of [29:26.540 –> 29:32.420] the early 2000s we just don’t need it don’t bring us back there mm-hmm I will say at the [29:32.420 –> 29:37.180] like comparing this to like verdant village at the very least this looks like a completely [29:37.180 –> 29:44.260] new like concept from I think what I’ve seen where I spurred it village like I open it [29:44.260 –> 29:51.260] up and I thought it was stardew so I will even though we’re not like huge fans of this [29:51.260 –> 29:55.860] style I will say at least they’re not they’re trying something different and not just what [29:55.860 –> 30:01.500] creating what looks different to you other than just the back story well I mean just [30:01.500 –> 30:06.940] like the the overall style of it like none of these buildings look like anything I’ve [30:06.940 –> 30:12.180] seen before although I haven’t like played many yeah even this like landscape shop like [30:12.180 –> 30:17.220] the trees like it looks like a completely new world okay yeah no that’s fair because [30:17.220 –> 30:22.860] like um just like concept wise and gameplay wise it looks very similar to most farming [30:22.860 –> 30:28.420] games the only thing I can really see is that it says they’ve got wet and dry seasons which [30:28.420 –> 30:33.500] would be slightly different from the four standard seasons that we get which I actually [30:33.500 –> 30:39.140] might like to play with because I spent some time like sitting abroad in a place that had [30:39.140 –> 30:44.420] wet and dry seasons and I think the place I grew up in like in Florida South Florida [30:44.420 –> 30:52.220] was mostly wet and dry seasons because there was just no winter so I I like that I’ll take [30:52.220 –> 30:57.900] it yeah whereas I mean it’s an interesting concept to me the idea of a wet and dry season [30:57.900 –> 31:04.420] because like in Scotland we have the the wet warm season the wet cold season and the kind [31:04.420 –> 31:16.540] of the other wet seasons uh-huh um the other new game is season a letter to the future [31:16.540 –> 31:27.500] this looks beautiful yes so I will say that is true I will say the name is terrible yes [31:27.500 –> 31:35.700] I I was very confused by a letter to the future like what but what what does that mean is [31:35.700 –> 31:40.260] it gonna be time travel uh well that’s that’s what you’re that’s what you’re intrigued by [31:40.260 –> 31:46.860] right that’s what gets you into the I suppose is it though like a question shouldn’t be [31:46.860 –> 31:53.220] a hug I think it’s a I think it’s a time capsule thing rather than a time travel thing you [31:53.220 –> 31:59.380] are collecting memory so maybe they are going towards that but they could have just said [31:59.380 –> 32:05.220] time capsules I don’t know well the time capsule is a letter to the future right it is but [32:05.220 –> 32:12.540] that and what we do now of the point sure and what we do now that is a letter to the [32:12.540 –> 32:18.180] future I think it’s met I think it’s a metaphor for okay okay and how we can affect the future [32:18.180 –> 32:22.980] generations by what we do now okay so maybe just call it a letter to the future don’t [32:22.980 –> 32:29.300] put season in front of eggs yeah I don’t know I don’t know why they’ve done that and seasons [32:29.300 –> 32:37.300] all caps like that’s another choice that I don’t understand in a different font this [32:37.300 –> 32:44.660] appears to be on PlayStation and steam and epic I haven’t actually looked too much into [32:44.660 –> 32:50.980] this mm-hmm I meant to do that I mean I I love the introduction to the characters in [32:50.980 –> 32:55.940] this small like video of them where they’re just showing like candid shots of each of [32:55.940 –> 33:03.420] them just staring at the camera hmm I don’t know so it feels it feels very cinematic leave [33:03.420 –> 33:08.020] home for the first time to collect memories before a mysterious cataclysm washes everything [33:08.020 –> 33:13.480] away ride record meet people and unravel the strange world around you immerse yourself [33:13.480 –> 33:20.300] in the world of season a third-person meditative exploration game another word for cottage [33:20.300 –> 33:27.060] core I guess meditative I mean I mean our new name there is definitely no farming in [33:27.060 –> 33:30.380] this while they say that they don’t say anything about farming but it definitely feels cottage [33:30.380 –> 33:37.980] core to me it does it looks yeah yeah the whole vibe feels very like you’re trying well [33:37.980 –> 33:42.060] I mean you’re exploring so you’re not necessarily like building a cottage core life but yeah [33:42.060 –> 33:48.380] the graphics are very breath of the wildest mm-hmm but I mean it’s done fine I don’t it’s [33:48.380 –> 33:53.300] quite nice looking I like the shot of like the keepsakes to like the just the way that [33:53.300 –> 34:04.260] they’ve portrayed a collage or scrapbook it’s very very neat yeah definitely mm-hmm all [34:04.260 –> 34:09.060] right so that I that’s out now I don’t know if I said that and before the green moon is [34:09.060 –> 34:15.940] coming out this year something okay all right so that’s the news we are going to talk about [34:15.940 –> 34:22.820] cult of the lamb so as I mentioned before we have done an episode on cult of the lamb [34:22.820 –> 34:29.220] already mm-hmm Kevin and Kelly did that last year sometime maybe November something like [34:29.220 –> 34:38.220] that sounds about right but as always happens other people had opinions on the game and [34:38.220 –> 34:44.980] Bev has played it and I have played it and people were very surprised on the game of [34:44.980 –> 34:50.300] the year episode that this was one of my top games of the year mm-hmm and I think that’s [34:50.300 –> 34:59.460] probably because it is a roguelite game mm-hmm so let me just address this because I think [34:59.460 –> 35:04.600] some people may have been put off the game by being called a roguelite uh-huh and I understand [35:04.600 –> 35:12.220] I hate roguelikes I’m not a fan of roguelites to me roguelites are like roguelikes but less [35:12.220 –> 35:21.580] bad right like they still have some of the annoyances of a roguelike but less of it because [35:21.580 –> 35:25.220] you don’t lose everything all the time mm-hmm because you get to keep some of the stuff [35:25.220 –> 35:28.700] you don’t lose everything it’s not like you just play it and then at the end you have [35:28.700 –> 35:33.420] if you die you have to restart mm-hmm so I’m not a huge fan of them even the roguelites [35:33.420 –> 35:38.620] because I I just I find that even though you’re like building stuff up around like between [35:38.620 –> 35:44.700] the runs I still feel like it’s not satisfying to go oh sorry you have to go back even if [35:44.700 –> 35:48.940] you’re more powerful and you have more weapons and that sort of stuff I still I’m like I [35:48.940 –> 35:53.140] want I want somewhere in it I want to restart somewhere in it right I don’t want to have [35:53.140 –> 35:57.660] to go all the way back to the beginning and that’s what annoys me mm-hmm but let me tell [35:57.660 –> 36:04.300] you cult of the lamp has done it really well it has so mm-hmm your base is always fine [36:04.300 –> 36:08.860] right like you never like your base is never reset right there’s no risk of that your your [36:08.860 –> 36:14.620] village your villagers they’re all fine you can lose stuff but not like through the village [36:14.620 –> 36:19.100] there’s risk in the village but it’s not like it’s not like you die in a run and therefore [36:19.100 –> 36:23.300] half of your village disappear that’s not a thing that happens yeah you can lose things [36:23.300 –> 36:28.460] in the village but it’s through you not dealing with things properly that’s that’s how you [36:28.460 –> 36:36.500] can lose things and how it happens is so you go out from your village to do one of the [36:36.500 –> 36:39.720] the runs which is basically you go through a bunch of dungeon you go through a bunch [36:39.720 –> 36:46.580] of dungeon areas to get stuff and you know sometimes to like get new followers sometimes [36:46.580 –> 36:52.800] to do certain things for the demon blah blah blah blah blah and if you die during that [36:52.800 –> 36:59.700] run you then lose some of the stuff that you got on that run and that’s all you really [36:59.700 –> 37:05.380] lose when you die yep and so i’m fine with that like that that to me makes sense right [37:05.380 –> 37:10.700] because you’re going out into the wilderness to dangerous place and you’re doing stuff [37:10.700 –> 37:14.300] and if you die and you’re brought back to life you don’t get to keep everything that [37:14.300 –> 37:20.300] you were getting in that thing but you don’t then lose other stuff and it’s not like there’s [37:20.300 –> 37:23.560] also like once once you’ve done that one it’s like you don’t really care about the runs [37:23.560 –> 37:27.180] it’s not like here’s a level and you’ve got tight 10 levels and you have to get through [37:27.180 –> 37:32.820] all 10 10 levels it’s like different random orientations of dungeons put together and [37:32.820 –> 37:37.660] different things that can happen through it like it’s so much better than any roguelike [37:37.660 –> 37:43.340] or roguelite yes i have played i feel like i’m gonna go on a limb here and say this game [37:43.340 –> 37:52.860] is not a rogue light it is a stardew level-esque type of game because you have like your base [37:52.860 –> 37:59.900] that you’re you know contributing continuing to upgrade and upkeep and you know you have [37:59.900 –> 38:04.860] other places to explore within this world but then you go into the mines or the dungeons [38:04.860 –> 38:09.020] in this case for additional resources that you can’t get anywhere else other than the [38:09.020 –> 38:14.700] mines maybe this is why you like this yeah i mean possibly like i don’t i don’t really [38:14.700 –> 38:19.940] want to get into the the genre discussion right but no i don’t generally calls this [38:19.940 –> 38:27.460] a roguelite um yes and and and i would agree that like it’s not like other roguelites but [38:27.460 –> 38:34.340] like i mean what are even what even are genres i think my point is like don’t get put off [38:34.340 –> 38:40.740] by people calling this a roguelite if you don’t like roguelikes and road lights it is [38:40.740 –> 38:49.180] it is not like that no yes exactly so and the loss that you get makes perfect sense [38:49.180 –> 38:54.780] and i’m completely fine with that like i’ve funnily enough i like ironically enough this [38:54.780 –> 39:01.620] podcast was the one that introduced me to roguelites via atomic grabs oh that is an [39:01.620 –> 39:05.760] example of one that i absolutely hate right because it’s like sure you’re building like [39:05.760 –> 39:12.060] stuff up between your runs but like the idea that i’m gonna die and then i lose my farm [39:12.060 –> 39:17.540] is just so incredibly frustrating to me that i hated it so much we did that together didn’t [39:17.540 –> 39:26.820] we yes we did i hated that game with an absolute passion uh-huh i so like i enjoyed it but [39:26.820 –> 39:31.220] i what i feel like that game could have done better it was having that base like that place [39:31.220 –> 39:38.060] you come to between runs where you pick your character whatever having that be more interactive [39:38.060 –> 39:43.620] and that’s really where like where cult of the lamb excels is having the capability of [39:43.620 –> 39:48.420] saying i don’t feel like doing a roguelite right now i that’s gonna stress me out i just [39:48.420 –> 39:55.660] want to farm and take care of my villagers and have fun that way which is great i think [39:55.660 –> 40:01.260] and i feel like most of the mechanics in this game are just really nice and like not stressful [40:01.260 –> 40:07.860] or like even the fishing one is fine like it’s actually enjoyable to to do fishing so [40:07.860 –> 40:12.060] i just feel like a lot of these components like every small little component in this [40:12.060 –> 40:18.540] game they just did so well um yeah so you were you were comparing it to stardew and [40:18.540 –> 40:25.300] i think that’s fair um in terms of that combat i will say the combat in this game so much [40:25.300 –> 40:31.900] better than stardew yes so much better like the stardew one isn’t bad but it’s not good [40:31.900 –> 40:39.120] it’s fine um but you don’t really feel like you have a huge like it’s basically like hit [40:39.120 –> 40:46.180] the button at the right time right like there’s not any real strategy to it um sure there [40:46.180 –> 40:50.300] are different weapons and stuff like that but it’s not amazing whereas this i think [40:50.300 –> 40:55.280] is like a legitimately good combat and i’m very picky on combat there are very few games [40:55.280 –> 41:02.380] that i actively like the combat in this is definitely one of them and i at least for [41:02.380 –> 41:06.780] in terms of combat i tend to prefer like the really fast like like melee weapons because [41:06.780 –> 41:12.940] i’m just spamming buttons and not really like paying attention to the combat but yeah for [41:12.940 –> 41:17.060] like the first time ever i’ve enjoyed playing a hammer or an axe something that’s heavy [41:17.060 –> 41:23.300] to swing because it just feels i don’t know it’s so easy it just feels like it just flows [41:23.300 –> 41:28.820] so naturally to be using any weapon in this game um so i definitely agree that it’s just [41:28.820 –> 41:36.060] fantastic um and now i’m wondering why it wasn’t on the top like three of my game of [41:36.060 –> 41:42.660] the year and i don’t remember where it was a couple months ago um but it was just so [41:42.660 –> 41:49.060] good i love it and yeah and it’s just so silly too i think that’s the thing like it just [41:49.060 –> 41:57.100] it takes such a ridiculous concept and makes it ridiculous it’s not serious at all oh absolutely [41:57.100 –> 42:04.220] yeah and and this is the thing in like i love i love ridiculousness um but it’s like ridiculousness [42:04.220 –> 42:13.820] in a very cute way like like it just the con the idea of like the cutest lamb right in [42:13.820 –> 42:20.300] the world right like it’s so well designed like and then it is like standing at the front [42:20.300 –> 42:25.020] of like uh a church like brainwashing people [42:25.020 –> 42:37.580] yeah or yeah exactly like i just i cannot i cannot elaborate too enough on how ridiculous [42:37.580 –> 42:44.060] that is just that everything about it is so ridiculous um the character design is really [42:44.060 –> 42:51.740] good they’re all pretty simple but they’re all really good um the i also like how obviously [42:51.740 –> 42:55.660] i mean this is my dream game right because there’s automation everywhere right like you [42:55.660 –> 43:00.860] you you can do all the automation right from the start because you can you can basically [43:00.860 –> 43:04.900] i mean it takes a little bit yeah you have to go through some tutorials to unlock everything [43:04.900 –> 43:09.740] but basically from very early on in the game you can get your villagers to do things for [43:09.740 –> 43:13.420] you yeah and you don’t have to do them and that’s that’s perfect for me i love it’s great [43:13.420 –> 43:25.540] you just want to i want to be a cult leader um we got an episode title um and and but [43:25.540 –> 43:29.980] it’s not like oh then you know you never get any more automation because obviously the [43:29.980 –> 43:34.020] more villagers you get the more you can do so you still have to do some things for yourself [43:34.020 –> 43:37.300] at the beginning right it’s not like oh i’m never going to do any farming no you you’ll [43:37.300 –> 43:41.180] have to do some farming because well first of all you don’t start with very many villagers [43:41.180 –> 43:45.060] obviously you start with one right that’s how a cult works well actually i don’t know [43:45.060 –> 43:50.820] i’ve never been in a cult is it how a cult works i don’t know you have to start somewhere [43:50.820 –> 43:56.220] you do you do but also like would you ever be the first person to join a cult i mean [43:56.220 –> 44:03.780] but i think you do that how would t

We had a tonne of fun recording this and wanted to share it with everyone! Some context: Our group of adventurers consist of five real humans transported to a world populated by what they know as video game characters. But this world is real, and the group find them in the middle of a conspiracy surrounding the disappearance of the council. They set out to rescue the first of the council members, Mario, and found themselves in a Yoshi village. The village chief requested that the group save his Queen, who the group suspect to be the creature we know as Birdo. The adventurers, accompanied by Yoshi of the village, find a small bandit fortress and believe they have found Birdo. And the plan was going so well, until Ky slapped the tribe leader across the face and stole his helmet believing it to be a symbol of leadership. But Chuck wasn't going down without a fight. And the tribe craves an honourable, albeit bloody, fight to the death over the title of tribe leader.
