Podcasts about Double Fine

Legendary video game designer Tim Schafer of Double Fine (Psychonauts, Broken Age, and most recently, Kiln) has been one of our board game buddies for years now. So we took advantage of that relationship and put Tim on the show, filmed right in Double Fine's studio. As our guest, he gets to pick the topic, and he had several good ideas. We steered him toward our favorite, though: Why making board games is harder than making video games. He's been successful for one of those -- not so much in the other. So he'll be speaking from experience here. Chapters: Going Analog's Game Pick: Postcards. Tim's Game Pick: Cave Evil. Tim's topic: Why making board games is harder than making video games.

W najnowszym odcinku zaglądamy za kulisy potężnego kryzysu w Bungie – sprawdzamy, co dalej z uniwersum Destiny, dlaczego studio stało się ogromnym finansowym utrapieniem dla Sony i czy nadchodzący Marathon zdoła uratować sytuację swoimi nowymi trybami rozgrywki. Prześwietlamy najnowsze przecieki sprzętowe, w tym tajemnicze, nowe kontrolery od Microsoftu oraz genialny, popkulturowy sekret ukryty w padzie od Valve. Analizujemy również sytuację PlayStation 5, które zaliczyło nagłe i bolesne tąpnięcie sprzedaży tuż po osiągnięciu wielkiego kamienia milowego, oraz sprawdzamy, dlaczego twórcy Subnautica 2 wywołali burzę wśród fanów swoją bezkompromisową filozofią projektowania zabawy. Na koniec w ekspresowym tempie rzucamy okiem na strategiczny odwrót Segi od gier-usług, kadrowe roszady na szczytach Xboxa, ucieczkę twórców Stellar Blade w stronę pełnej niezależności, piracką aferę z gigantycznymi banami wokół nowej Forzy, walkę związkową w Double Fine, algorytmy sztucznej inteligencji w PlayStation oraz kuriozalne groźby, które sparaliżowały kwaterę główną Nintendo.(00:00:00) - START!(00:00:07) - Rozgrzewka

¡Ni los futuros distópicos del estado policía podrán detenernos!¡Porque es lunes y SpreadShotNews Podcast ya llegó! En este episodio: Nico estuvo jugando a mudarse a una casa nueva en la vida real. Maxi por su parte termina el Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War y continua a pleno con The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II. En el Rapid-Fire, tenemos noticias sobre la creación de un engine “made in Europa”, SEGA desconoce a su “Super Game”, Sony y Bandai Namco dicen que la IA es el futuro, WIRED TOKYO 2007 tiene su demo publicada en steam, Double Fine se sindicaliza y Harada vuelve al desarrollo de videojuegos “de la mano” de SNK. Para el Hot Coffee, repasamos una entrevista a Simon Zhu realizada por Bloomberg, donde explica su recientemente establecido fondo de inversión GreaterThan Group y su filosofía detrás del mismo. ¿Qué significa esto para la industria? El tiempo dirá, pero nosotros intentamos ver hacia dónde puede ir. Por último, recuerden que nos pueden escribir preguntas directamente a través de google forms en el siguiente link: spreadshotnews.com/preguntas

Essa semana, nos despedimos da adolescência ao som de música, minigames e decisões questionáveis em Mixtape. Nas notícias, comentamos o “novo” Star Fox e seu "novo" estilo de arte, o aumento de preço do Switch 2, a Sega (aparentemente) desistindo dos live services, o novo estúdio de Katsuhiro Harada com a SNK e mais!

Fatality! Mortal Kombat II is out, and its hilarious, in a good way! Plus Mixtape shines in a way I never expected. Meanwhile, Nintendo jumps on the price increase bandwagon, Ahsoka is stuck in another galaxy for another year, and peacock is about to get a speed boost.

This week, the internet did what it always does: took something good, something that clearly resonated with real people, and turned it into a battlefield. We're talking about Mixtape — the new game from Beethoven & Dinosaur and Annapurna — and why the so-called "controversy" surrounding it tells you more about gaming culture than it does about the actual game.Because let's be honest: a 2-to-3 hour game with a 95 Metascore on Xbox, thousands of positive Steam reviews, and music from Devo, Joy Division, and the Smashing Pumpkins doesn't NEED the internet's permission to be good. But here we are. We're going to talk about why these faux controversies keep popping up, what they say about who gaming makes room for, and why some people just cannot stand it when a game dares to be an emotional experience without a fail state.Then we get into Saros — Housemarque's spiritual successor to Returnal — and yeah, we have THOUGHTS. Arjun Devraj, Rahul Kohli going absolutely OFF in this performance, cosmic horror on planet Carcosa, and a roguelite loop that somehow got MORE accessible without losing the teeth that made Returnal special. Is it better than Returnal? That's a conversation we need to have.We also sat down with Directive 8020 — the newest entry in Supermassive's Dark Pictures Anthology — which takes the series to space and has y'all fighting alien mimics in the void. Alien meets The Thing in video game form? The story and the Turning Points mechanic are genuinely doing something. The stealth sections though… we'll talk about it.And to close it out: Double Fine — Tim Schafer's legendary studio, makers of Psychonauts and the recently released Kiln — has filed a petition to unionize with the CWA. 42 workers. Microsoft taking a neutral stance. This is big, and it's part of a larger wave rolling through the industry. Workers deserve protection, and this moment matters. We're gonna break it all down.Let's get into it.Twitter/X — https://twitter.com/spawnonmeInstagram — https://instagram.com/spawnonmeYouTube — https://youtube.com/@spawnonmeTwitch — https://twitch.tv/spawnonmeSpotify — https://open.spotify.com/show/spawnonmeApple Podcasts — https://podcasts.apple.com/spawnonme

We've got some fun games coming to Game Pass this month, Pragmata has some good sales figures for Capcom, Double Fine is unionizing, and we need a third review tier for games on Steam. In the backend Isli just started Saros so he doesn't have too many opinions so far, but I've beating the game in full so I give my final thoughts and how I think it compares to Returnal. Here are the timestamps:Intro News Bits- 00:10 Wisdom Teeth- 02:58 Game Pass Wave 1 Lineup For May - 16:25 Assassin's Creed Stage Show Announced- 18:25 The Trouble With Review Bombing- 23:42 Pragmata Sales Figures- 25:15 Borderlands 4 On PS5 Discounted On Amazon- 27:58 Switch 2 Price Increase Inbound- 32:05 Double Fine UnionizingWhat We're Playing- 38:15 Hades 2- 40:33 Saros

Mas agora em termos de projeção de jogos, eu fiquei muito surpreso com o anúncio do Kiln, o jogo de cerâmica da Double Fine, que foi anunciado na Xbox Developer Direct, um evento que eu acho bem chato da Xbox, mas tá bom né, é o que tem. Foi um jogo surpresa, e bom, um jogo da Double Fine, depois do fracasso de vendas do Keeper, ufa né, que beleza, tá viva quem não morreu, que beleza, que alívio. E segundo, que esse jogo aparece na série documental da Double Fine, sobre o processo de criação do Psychonauts 2, que eu fiz referência aqui no Dois Analógicos - Diálogo infinito sobre games via WhatsApp. Com João Varella, Alexandre Sato, Thomas Kehl, Marcos Kiyoto, João R e Marina Andreoli⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Dois Analógicos - Listen on Spotify - Linktree⁠⁠

¡Apoya Reconectados, decide y participa en todos los sorteos! ✅ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/reconectados Se nota que el Summer Game Fest está cerca porque muchos juegos empiezan a posicionarse para aparecer en la gala más importante del verano. Uno de ellos es Final Fantasy VII ¿Return?, la tercera parte del proyecto Final Fantasy VII Remake de Square Enix que está a punto de ser anunciado a tenor de las entrevistas que ha ofrecido su director, Naoki Hamaguchi. O Intergalactic The Heretic Prophet, también muy en la pomada estos días con tráiler inminente. Y aunque no vaya a formar parte del Summer Game Fest, Grand Theft Auto VI empieza a sentirse por todas partes, tanto entre los fans, como los directivos dando entrevistas, como los empleados, que seguramente se encuentren en pleno periodo de "crunch". Y ojo, porque mayo puede ser el mes del tercer tráiler y del arranque de su campaña de marketing. Por otro lado, os hablamos de varios juegos, entre ellos del impresionante 007 First Light y de las últimas informaciones que lo colocan como un juego muy a tener en cuenta y que nos fascinará. También analizamos el adictivo a la par que feo Vampire Crawlers y el original Kiln, la nueva propuesta rompedora -de jarrones- y multijugador de Double Fine. La semana que viene saldremos un poquito más tarde, pero a cambio os traeremos el análisis de Forza Horizon 6. ¡Nos escuchamos entonces y os leemos en comentarios!

Thank you to Xbox for providing me the game!Double Fine is back with something completely different… and Kiln might be one of their most unique ideas yet. From crafting your own clay pots to battling it out in team-based chaos, this game blends creativity and competition in a way that genuinely stands out.In this review, I break down everything you need to know — from the surprisingly deep creation system to the fast-paced multiplayer gameplay, and whether it's actually worth adding to your game night rotation.If you've been looking for something fresh, fun, and easy to jump into with friends… this might be it.

Killn is een 4v4 melee-brawler waarin je als keramieken pot de arena in rolt, waarbij je in een gezellige hub begint met het knutselen aan je eigen pot: klei op de draaischijf, vormpje draaien, tuitjes en oortjes erop, stickers plakken en een laklaagje erover. Double Fine's handtekening is duidelijk zichtbaar in de quirky stijl, de […]

Vuelta a la actualidad de videojuegos, y vuelta al Game Pass. Básicamente, porque la semana pasada tuvimos el placer de degustar Kiln, la última obra de Double Fine. Estamos ante una propuesta multijugador muy original con el sello que solamente el estudio saber otorgarle. Puede que salga falto de contenido, pero eso no quita para que nos entretengamos con las peleas o la creación de las vasijas. Tanto los pros como los contras, los puedes escuchar en este podcast.

This episode originally aired on May 17, 2024.It's GDC week, so most devs are out of town! But it makes for a good excuse to revisit an older episode that I've heard a bunch of people say they really enjoyed featuring environment artist Sophie Stübinger. Since this episode aired, Sophie's worked on the recent Double Fine game Keeper and is currently doing environment art over at Anchor Point Studios!

Ubisoft has decided to Ubisoft all over themselves yet again, Xbox Wrapped didn't happen because apparently Microsoft ran out of money and people are still developing for the Xbox One... Welcome to the start of 2026, I suppose.

We finally have a release date for Forza Horizon 6, and at the same time saw that Game Freak can do more than Pokémon. Steam is facing a massive lawsuit in the UK, will it hold? Plus Sinners sweeps the Oscar noms, Dragon Ball celebrates its 40th in style, and there were more Trailers then you could shake a stick at this past week.

A Ubisoft enfim detalhou seu processo de reestruturação, do qual já falava há meses, desde que começou a formar uma parceria com a Tencent. Essa reestruturação, claro, também resultou no cancelamento e adiamento de jogos, além de demissões e fechamentos de estúdios. Fora Ubi, também falamos do que apareceu no Xbox Developer Direct, que teve como surpresa Kiln, novo trabalho da Double Fine.Participantes:Heitor De PaolaAssuntos abordados:03:00 - Ubisoft anuncia grande reestruturação com demissões e fechamento de estúdios22:00 - Fable, Kiln e o que mais apareceu no Xbox Developer Direct38:00 - Anunciaram um novo Life is Strange com a Max e a Chloe44:00 - Rápidas e curtasVai comprar jogos na Nuuvem?

This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, we break down the Xbox Developer Direct 2026 and what it tells us about Xbox's near-term future. We dig into Forza Horizon 6's Japan setting, release date, and controversial $120 Premium Edition pricing, and then pivot to a deep dive on the Fable reboot — combat, morality systems, NPC simulation, and why this could finally be the RPG Xbox fans have waited two generations for. We also react to Game Freak's Beast of Reincarnation, Double Fine's clay-brawler Kiln, and the wider 2026 slate including Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day, State of Decay 3, and Clockwork Revolution. Along the way we talk Game Pass value with big third-party adds like Death Stranding Director's Cut and Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, plus how Xbox is handling $70+ pricing in a rough economy. In the back half of the show we answer a community question about which cancelled game we'd resurrect and who we'd want making it (yes, Scalebound and StarCraft: Ghost show up), touch on Arc Raiders' surprise success, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade coming to Xbox with a limited Play Anywhere bonus, and share a few thoughts on Riot's 2XKO, cross-media crossovers like Stranger Things in Dead by Daylight, and the future of Xbox on PC and handhelds. Clear takes. No console-war noise. Xbox-forward discussion hosted by Luke Lohr (Insipid Ghost) and Captain Logun.

Claire is back and we take some time to talk about where she's been and how MAGfest was. Claire has been playing a bunch of idle games, especially Melvor Idle which is essentially an MMO in idle form. While that runs, she also has been playing SoulBlazer on the SNES. Paul plays fangame called Mega Man Rock 'N Roll and loves it. Not a lot of news, Ubisoft is "restructuring" and Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is officially cancelled as one of 7 sacrifices to the corpo-Gods. Also, we finally get some more info on Beast of Reincarnation (the new GameFreak game), Forza Horizon 6 and first looks at the new Fable. Also, Double Fine are doing some multiplayer pot thing called Kiln. All this and more on a very, very tired episode of the TOP DOWN PERSPECTIVE. --- TDP is listener funded. Like what you hear?

Manu und sein heutiger Gast Viet (PixelViet) haben sich die gestrige Xbox Developer Direct angeschaut und waren vom Gezeigten durchaus überrascht: Wir haben beeindruckendes Gameplay und einen richtigen DeepDive zum mit Spannung erwarteten Fable bekommen. Können die Playground Studios endlich die Vision von Peter Molyneux technisch umsetzen? Es sieht ganz danach aus. Wenig überraschend, aber dafür richtig schick: Forza Horizon 6 in Japan und auch Beast of Reincarnation wird erwartbar gut allen Anschein nach. Warum sich Viet auf das Spiel von Game Freak am meisten freut, erfahrt ihr im Cast. Kein Shadowdrop, aber kommt trotzdem bald: das auf den ersten Blick verwirrende neue Spiel von Double Fine.

Welcome to Active Reload! This week James, Grant, and Steven give their reactions to the games shown at the Xbox Developer Direct! From Forza Horizon 6 showing the new setting in Japan. To Fable's new take on Albion, plus, a game where you play as a ceramic pot and try to defeat other players who are also ceramic pots called Kiln! (Double Fine is on that good stuff).Next, the guys go over Ubisoft's announced "major reset" where they canceled and delayed a bunch of games and did some organizational shifting. Causing a major drop in their share price, but come out with a new vision for their game development cycle. Will it save Ubisoft from itself?Remember to rate, follow, like, and subscribe!

The original is still there under the hood!If you thought the last episode was a throwback, get ready because this episode covers a remake of a beloved point and click adventure game that was originally released by LucasArts in 1993! Would you believe that despite his love of the aforementioned studio, Tom has never actually played the original game? Gasp! Well this remaster developed by Double Fine was released in 2016, so it may be old enough to be considered a classic on its own. In any event, the Xbox Game Pass "Surprise Me" button has determined that it's time for our hosts to give this game the old college try, so they have booted up their respective devices and given it a go. Will it deserve its cult classic status? Will they keep playing after the mandated hour is complete? Join them as they make their decisions!What do you think? Let us know!Check out all our links here:https://linktr.ee/tc1h1dThanks for taking this ride with us :-)

Trent Kusters chats with Lee Petty, Creative Director on Double Fine's newest adventure, Keeper. Together they discuss where the idea to anthropomorphize a light house; why they avoided dialogue and how it pushed them creatively; how silence and emptiness shape emotional tone; the importance of restraint; and what he's learned about leadership throughout his journey at Double Fine.
