This is an episode from BosBattle, the predecessor to How Indie Games Get Made.Boston Festival of Indie Games organizers Caroline Murphy and Oleg Brodskiy discuss literal trash cosplay, small electrical fires and other early BostonFIG memories, as well as BostonFIG's new education initiatives and diversity in Boston's indie game scene.Subscribe to BosBattle's newsletter: http://bit.ly/bosbattle.Music by Jesse Gertz: http://jessegertz.com/.Mastering by Kegan Zema: https://www.keganzema.com/.Recorded at PRX's Podcast Garage in Allston: https://www.podcastgarage.org/.

The Boston Festival of Indie Games has come and gone... possibly forever? We'll give the lowdown and a proper sitrep. Metroid Samus Returns gives another us venture into an old favorite with this remake for the 3DS. Is it a PRIME, or a FUSION situation? And you can't have true love without bank robbery as we delve deep into the current run of 'Violent Love' from Image comics. Wrapping up the action we bring you the full-contact carnage and controversy from WWE's No Mercy!

ChinMo and Katt are joined by Amanda, BWK, and Tim as they talk about the Boston Festival of Independent Games(BFIG) and game design.

We got out and saw some stuff and now we're back! This week, we discuss a local game con, the Boston Festival of Indie Games. It's a great way to try out some new games and games in development, including Phoenix Covenant, Visitor in Blackwood Grove, Druid Dice, Adventures of the Cimmerian Forest, Pinball Showdown and more! It's also a great opportunity for us to test out our editing skills after some really bizarre tangents. Join us!

The Tangent - 133: London, What Up? Brian leads off and has Metroid: Samus Returns, and spoiler, he's now a little indifferent about it. Then, Anthony, Brian, and Gary talk Destiny 2, and another spoiler, oh have their minds changed on the series.  Then stick around for the Drunken not-so-much-news this week, as we headed into MIT in Cambridge to the Boston Festival of Indie Games, and talk about all the games we saw there. So, stay tuned this week for audio interviews from Boston FIG and the video interviews on our YouTube channel!   Extras Creep us on Facebook Stalk us on Twitter Watch us on YouTube Or throw us that review on iTunes or Stitcher Questions, comments, concerns?

Episode 151: A Qwixx Episode Length: 48:54 Show Links: RSS | iTunes | Stitcher | Download Episode   Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast! We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 45 minutes long. Vox Republica is proudly supported by our Patreon. Consider contributing today! DESCRIPTION: This week, Erin and Ryan recover from their giant Gen Con episode by reviewing…probably one of the smallest games they have - Qwixx! They also talk about BFiG and some prototypes! GUEST: None RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (0:53): The Networks: Executives by Formal Ferret Games (BGG Link) Cerebria by Mindclash Games (BGG Link) QUICK TOPICS – (21:48): The Boston Festival of Indie Games is coming up on September 23rd. We’ll be there playing games and presenting an award. If you’re in the Boston Area, swing by and say hello! REVIEW - (26:16): Qwixx is a small, speedy roll-and-write game from Gamewright. Over the course of about 15-20 minutes, 2-5 players take turns rolling dice and crossing numbers off their player sheets, but there’s still a bit of strategy involved. A little bit. If you choose the wrong numbers to scratch out, you’re doomed to lock yourself out of valuable options down the road. If you play too conservatively, though, you’re going to struggle to keep up. We build up a consensus on who this accessible, portable dice chucking game and who should roll on to other things instead. (Note: if you don't see pictures below, you can view them via the RSS feed or clicking this link.) A standard Qwixx scorepad, with Red and Yellow in ascending numerical order and Blue and Green in descending order With this dice roll, any player may choose to cross out a six on any of their four tracks The active player chooses to pair the 2 white die with the blue die and crosses out Blue 6 A player's final score of 88 points   PLUGS - (48:22): We’re raffling off a copy of Go Nuts For Donuts to a lucky Patreon backer.

The 6th annual BFIG brought a little more crowd participation from the Geek Down crew - we were invited to host their award ceremony this year! The festival celebrates independent game development in New England and neighboring regions. Shooting to create an inclusive environment for everybody who enjoys and appreciates games in whatever shape or form. Amy, Jonny, and Pat had individual adventures there and combine their notes for a fair, unbiased look at some of the best/worst/weirdest gaming Boston has to offer

Episode 127: This Funny Dude From Poland Length: 1:17:11 Show Links: RSS | iTunes | Stitcher | Download Episode   Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast! We post new episodes every other Thursday, with each episode being about 45 minutes long. Vox Republica is proudly supported by our Patreon. Consider contributing today! DESCRIPTION: This week we return from our fall mini-break refreshed and ready to go. We start off by chatting about a small handful of the many games played recently, chat about our recent past and future convention plans, and then sit down with Ignacy Trzewiczek, head of Portal Games, to talk about the processes he goes through when designing games. GUESTS: Ignacy Trzewiczek RECENTLY PLAYED GAMES - (01:49): Clank! by Renegade Game Studios & Dire Wolf Digital Inis by Asmodee Editions / Matagot  The Guardians: Explore by Reihon Games Roll Player by Thunderworks Games QUICK TOPICS - (26:06): We chat about the next Granite Game Summit in a few weeks - Halloween Edition. If you're in the area, consider coming on down! Ryan explains The Pantheon of Meeples. Oh, and there's our first meeting of Board Game Club! We recap some of the highlights from the 2016 Boston Festival of Indie Games, including memorable games and our presentation of one of the Figgie awards. FEATURED TOPIC - (38:32): With a dozen or so memorable, well-received games under its belt and a self-assured designer at the helm, it's crazy to think that Portal Games is less than a decade old. The biggest reason for their success rests with the fundamental design philosophy of Ignacy Trzewiczek that board games should be an experience when played. He's stated numerous times in public and on his own blog the importance of this focus in everything they create. Today we sit down with him to go into that idea in more detail, include areas like: How important Robinson Crusoe was to Portal's initial success and instant reputation.  Why theme for him always comes before mechanics. And where that philosophy came from The purpose of his Board Games That Tell Stories blog Both his first and second books emerged from it How his background in GMing RPGs influenced First Martians Why he keeps a journal on most games he play What his two most influential games are on his design process   PLUGS - (1:16:16): To celebrate Ignacy's participation and the Halloween season, we're raffling off a copy of Tides of Madness to a lucky Patreon backer.

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, we get down and dirty with a new list of Fap Achievments stroked out by listener Chris Ott! We also cover a lot of ground from our recent Boston trip that didn't make it into the FIG video or the Breakfastcast. And because this is Random Assault, we also talk about hemorrhoids and Star Trek. Because of course. SEGMENT 1: - Recording levels - The Bastard Executioner - Round One Arcade - Adventures in Boston - Eddie Spuhgetti Halloween Volume 2 - Boston Festival of Indie Games - Nintendo AVS - More Boston stories SEGMENT 2: - Hemorrhoids - Public transportation - Star Trek - Jake Gyllenhall SEGMENT 3: - A new fap achievment list by Chris Ott - PhilAngie's fanfiction - Kate's therapy session

In the latest episode of Swag Tier, Steven recaps his adventures at the 2016 Boston Festival of Indie Games, otherwise known as Boston FIG.  Tune in to hear about: Steven’s top 5 Boston FIG games, Sad Hill Cemetery, Stage Fright,… Continue Reading → The post Episode 33 – The passive aggressive art of cleaning up appeared first on Swag Tier.

This past weekend, Matt and Mitch shipped up to Boston to meet up with Alex and Willy and to attend the Boston Festival of Indie Games. However, not a lot of FIG coverage was actually done this year, and they guys were having so much fun hanging out and being pals that they neglected to even sit down and record an episode of the podcast in the same room. So instead, Mitch opted to record their table conversation during the breakfast they had right before they parted ways again. This is the almost entirely un-edited recording, featuring awkawrd silences and bleary-eyed hosts. Due to the lower audio quality of this episode, it is recommended that you listen to it with headphones on.

It's a five man crew this week as Gary returns to the podcast. First, we've got what is now our weekly Overwatch update. Gary, Brian, and Justin both find something amiss when playing with a certain friend online. But they have a strategy on how to deal with it. Well, three of them do. Also, there's some commentary on who should be buffed and who should actually be nurfed. Interesting stuff. We then return to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. It turns out the game is pretty good. Following that is the Fallout 4 DLC, in what is hopefully the last discussion about it for awhile (unlikely). Gary makes sure to talk about the Battlefield 1 demo, because it turns out him and Brian don't exactly see eye to eye on it. In a bit of a surprise, four us managed to attend the Boston Festival of Indie Games over at MIT in Cambridge. It's a small local indie game event that consisted of about 30 or so indie developers and table top board game designers and creators. It was a nice showcase, and we talk about some of the games that we saw there, so especially take a listen to that. In the Drunken News, we hammer away at the big news about the PS4 this week, along with Nintendo showing up at the Apple event, and of course, some early numbers from Metroid Prime: Federation Force.   The Drunken Show Notes: Metroid Prime: Federation Force flops Apple Reveals All-New 'Super Mario Run' Game Coming to iOS Nintendo Only Launching Four Mobile Games In This Fiscal Year HDR gaming coming to every PS4 via firmware update next week The PlayStation 4 Pro is not an Ultra HD Blu-ray player Sony’s PS4 Pro provides a mid-generation graphics bump to PS4 games [Updated] PlayStation 4 Pro games look amazing, but don't expect real 4K BioWare teases new Mass Effect: Andromeda details at Sony PS4 event Pokémon GO Plus, JUST AROUND THE CORNER No PS4 Pro 4K Blu-ray support?

On the founding of the Boston Festival of Indie Games

On the founding of the Boston Festival of Indie Games

This week on Random Assault, Matt, Alex and Mitch, as well as quite a few guests, pile into Alex's sweaty fuckin' bedroom to talk about the Boston Festival of Indie Games! It devolves into the usual Random-Assault-branded malarkey, but this episode is triple-stuffed with interviews from the exhibitors at FIG! Also Matt makes Alex's action figures fuck. Cause, you know.

Episode 054: Glenn Given & BFIG 2014 Length: 35:40 Subscribe to Show Link:    Welcome back to Vox Republica, the Cardboard Republic Podcast!

He shares with us a number of changes that are coming to BFIG this year, his team's criteria on how they selected this year's entries, and his thoughts on some of the over forty indie games people will be able to stop and check out in the very near future! Well, that, and we sort of go on a tangent about digital video games, philosophy, the video game Majestic, and snowmobiles. It all ties in together, we swear!   For this week's gaming bulletin, check out our Crowdfunding Corner.   We’d love to hear from you!
