(0:00:38) Kev: My name is Kevin last I checked (0:00:45) Kev: Whoo (0:00:46) Kev: Like cottage snore games. I’m kidding. No, actually it’s very exciting today. We have a lot of views (0:00:51) Al: I was gonna say, I was gonna say, are you Johnny? (0:00:54) Al: Like that’s, feels like something he would say. (0:00:56) Kev: No, no, I just I I don’t think that jokes been made yet. Um, I had to seize the opportunity (0:01:01) Al: I’ll need to search through the transcripts to see if it’s been said or not, but you’re (0:01:05) Al: right, I don’t remember it being said. (0:01:08) Al: All right, this episode, our main topic, if you will, although I suspect it will be the (0:01:15) Al: smallest part of the episode, but we’ll see, our main topic is people in cottagecore games (0:01:22) Al: that we want as marriage candidates that currently are not available as marriage candidates. (0:01:27) Al: This is the third of the trilogy of our marriage candidates. (0:01:30) Kev: Yeah, I get that the new that’s the you know, the last of news regards last minute last minute is so big (0:01:38) Kev: Like I forgot that’s what we’re here to talk of (0:01:39) Al: You’re like, oh, yeah, we’re actually we’re going to do that. (0:01:42) Al: Yeah, we’ve got that bit to do as well. (0:01:43) Kev: Yeah, I’m glad you also specified a (0:01:47) Kev: Cottagecore games, right because unfortunately I can’t talk about Jenny from high school (0:01:55) Al: Before that, we have some news. (0:01:58) Al: We have just some generic news. (0:02:01) Al: We also have some new games announced and we have we’re going to talk about (0:02:06) Al: marvellous games showcase, that’s marvellous (0:02:09) Al: the games company not marvel the comics company marvellous so we’re going to (0:02:16) Al: talk about that but first of all Kevin what have you been up to (0:02:21) Kev: Um, so, not, I mean, okay. (0:02:25) Kev: A lot of my pre times being consumed by fable them, the 1.0 came out. (0:02:29) Kev: I picked it up. (0:02:30) Kev: I’m playing it. (0:02:31) Kev: I’m enjoying it. (0:02:32) Kev: It’s, it’s the village builder I wanted. (0:02:36) Kev: I’m doing it. (0:02:37) Kev: Um, you know, I, like, I could go into detail, but that’s probably better for (0:02:42) Kev: another time, um, just, it’s really good. (0:02:43) Al: Yes. Yes, I’m sure you’ll go into detail on it on a future episode. (0:02:45) Kev: I enjoy it. (0:02:45) Kev: Thumbs up. (0:02:46) Kev: Um, when uh, uh, (0:02:51) Kev: um, uh, so that’s when I need the chill to, you know, brain dead game, more or less. (0:02:59) Kev: Uh, when I do feel like actually playing, I picked up some fighting games this week. (0:03:05) Kev: Uh, again, in particular, uh, Street Fighter 6 is the big one because they had, uh, the last of their wave of season one DLC or whatever dropped. (0:03:16) Kev: They added Akuma, who’s a big scary guy, both as a character. (0:03:21) Kev: I’m enjoying getting back into that. I am bad, I have lost everything, I feel worse than ever, but I am still playing. (0:03:32) Kev: So, you know, fighting games. (0:03:32) Al: when you when you said that you’re you’re bad I was going to say obvious the (0:03:35) Kev: What about you, Al? What have you been up to? (0:03:38) Kev: Okay, go ahead. (0:03:40) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:03:42) Al: important thing is that you’re enjoying it and then you immediately followed up (0:03:45) Al: with I feel worse than ever about it so I was like mmm well awkward well we love (0:03:51) Kev: Yeah, well, look, we’re Pokemon fans. (0:03:55) Kev: We’re gluttons for punishment. (0:03:58) Al: Okay, what have I been asking for? (0:04:02) Al: I have picked up Starstruck Thagobond, which came out about a week ago as we’re recording. (0:04:10) Al: And yeah, I’m enjoying it so far. We’ll see where it goes and how much I enjoy it, etc, etc. (0:04:20) Al: I also may well go into more detail on that in the future episode. (0:04:26) Kev: Okay. [laughs] (0:04:28) Al: I’ve… (0:04:32) Al: Yes, yes it does. I have also been playing more farm RPG, which was, (0:04:39) Al: I don’t know if you’ve listened to this week’s episode or not, Kevin, because it’s only two days (0:04:42) Al: since it came out. Well, that’s what we were talking about me and Cody, and I have continued (0:04:42) Kev: I’m… Yeah, no, I have not caught up on that. (0:04:49) Al: to play it, so I don’t know how long I will continue to play it for, but it is, it’s very (0:04:52) Kev: Hey, well, there you go. (0:04:55) Al: much my just, I’ve just been kind of tapping buttons on mobile when I feel like it sort of thing for it, (0:05:01) Al: So. (0:05:03) Al: Yeah, I have been, I have been playing that. I don’t know if enjoying is the right word. (0:05:04) Kev: You enjoy the number go big some people do (0:05:09) Al: It’s like, do you, it’s like if you play cookie clicker, do you enjoy that? (0:05:13) Al: Is it? I don’t know. Yeah. Yeah. Enjoy is just an interesting word for it. Anyway, (0:05:21) Kev: That’s that (0:05:23) Al: we don’t need to get into that. And I’ve been playing some more Pokemon, as usual. It’s, (0:05:28) Al: It’s raid weekend, Kevin, so I’ve done the raid this weekend. (0:05:32) Al: I thought you were going to say Street Fighter 6 has Swampert. (0:05:32) Kev: Who’s rate or what is being attacked? What is that a Swampert? You know, what’s crazy? (0:05:41) Kev: What if I told you Street Fighter 6 introduced rates (0:05:48) Kev: No, no, I wish (0:05:49) Al: How does a raid work in a fighting game, a one-on-one fighting game? (0:05:54) Kev: Yeah (0:05:56) Kev: Basically, you’ve got to beat up a bunch you beat up X number of opponents or whatever and you (0:06:02) Kev: Earn attack points and then those attack points are used to fire a big cannon at a big scary version of Akuma in this case (0:06:12) Kev: To whittle down. It’s held to a zero and rewards are based on how much you contribute yada. Yada (0:06:18) Kev: Obviously, it’s not actually like a (0:06:20) Al: Yeah, yeah, it’s it’s like a yeah, it’s a it’s a whole world sort of get a big number type thing. (0:06:22) Kev: You know cooperative thing (0:06:27) Kev: Yeah, yeah, it’s a goal like like those Sun and Moon events you remember back (0:06:32) Al: Yes, I do. (0:06:33) Kev: 8 billion eggs or whatever. Yeah, I like that. But okay Swampert’s cool. I like Swampert. They should bring (0:06:42) Al: Well maybe they will with this upcoming game. (0:06:46) Kev: I hope so. (0:06:46) Kev: Yeah, I know. (0:06:48) Kev: I’m so excited. (0:06:48) Kev: Oh my gosh, we’re back. (0:06:51) Al: Excited but excited-ish. Excited for what could be. (0:07:00) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:07:02) Al: All right let’s talk about we’re gonna first talk about the Marvelous game (0:07:06) Al: showcase. It’s interesting. Marvelous game showcase. It’s not games. (0:07:12) Al: It makes it sound like they’re just showcasing one game but it was definitely (0:07:15) Al: multiple games. Well it was multiple games kind of because we didn’t really (0:07:20) Al: get any details about anything. Are you excited about Far Magia? (0:07:22) Kev: Speaking of being excited for what COULD be… (0:07:29) Al: The concept of it anyway. (0:07:31) Kev: Uh, okay. So… (0:07:35) Kev: What is the concept? (0:07:36) Al: Well that’s a good question. So Far Magia is their first. They (0:07:41) Al: He originally announced this game a year ago. (0:07:42) Al: This is going to be, you’re going to hear this a lot in this section. (0:07:47) Al: They originally announced this game a year ago at the Marvelous Game Showcase (0:07:50) Al: 2023 as Project Magia, and they didn’t really say anything about it. (0:07:55) Al: They just said, we’re making it. (0:07:57) Al: And then they’ve shown a little cut scene, game introduction type thing with a bunch (0:08:04) Al: of characters and they went into detail about some of the characters. (0:08:07) Al: And that’s, that’s it. (0:08:08) Al: We still don’t have any game, game footage, gameplay. (0:08:12) Al: We don’t have any real information about the game itself, like what actually is it. (0:08:18) Al: I’m assuming it’s going to be a farming game based on the name, but I might be wrong. (0:08:24) Kev: That would, that would be why, I mean, yep, right. (0:08:24) Al: Because my assumption is it’s farm, magia, as in like magic farm, that’s my assumption. (0:08:32) Al: But it could, it might be far. It might not be farm, it might be far. (0:08:38) Al: Because we didn’t even hear them say the name because it was said in Japanese. (0:08:42) Kev: Oh, no, you’re right (0:08:42) Al: I assume a lot of things, but my current assumption is it’s farm, magia. (0:08:48) Al: And it’s going to be a magic based farming game. (0:08:48) Kev: Well, and I mean, you know (0:08:53) Kev: Given this company’s history you would expect that right? (0:08:56) Al: You would, yeah, you would think so. (0:08:58) Kev: But like I don’t yeah, yeah, that’s a reasonable assumption (0:09:03) Kev: But like at the same time, I don’t think we actually saw any sort of form ish related thing (0:09:08) Al: No, nothing. (0:09:10) Kev: But we did see Wasmoth. (0:09:12) Kev: Monster collecting, or monster fighting, yeah I don’t know. (0:09:14) Al: Monster fighting. I don’t think there was any collecting, but there was there was definitely fighting of some kind. (0:09:18) Kev: Well, there were different kinds of monsters it might be collecting, who knows. (0:09:23) Kev: It’s popular with the kids. (0:09:25) Kev: Um, and, yeah, I want to be excited, oh okay, okay. (0:09:30) Al: Oh we do actually see a farm. We do see a farm. I’ve just noticed four minutes and 58 seconds into (0:09:37) Al: the video, the showcase, we see what we see. This looks like a farm with moving plant, (0:09:39) Kev: Okay let me, let me look at that. (0:09:42) Kev: No, so there’s, there’s don’t. (0:09:47) Al: they look like they might be creatures. It’s it’s like literally shown for a second. (0:09:54) Al: And it’s like little tails waggling. (0:09:54) Kev: going through but yeah I mean that I mean you know obviously there’s a few (0:10:00) Kev: people there’s a few does room fact like someone’s never actually played a room (0:10:04) Kev: factory game does room factory combined monsters with your farming and whatnot (0:10:08) Al: Yeah, it’s basically it is essentially just a farming game, but with much more emphasis (0:10:14) Al: on the fighting. (0:10:16) Al: So think of it, I mean, it’s actually not miles away from what Stardew is right with (0:10:23) Al: the cave and with the skull cavern and stuff like that because Stardew has quite a few (0:10:28) Al: different areas now with monsters. (0:10:32) Al: But it’s much more like there is a story to that, to the monster fighting as well. (0:10:38) Al: Like you’re going out and trying to find your way through an area for a story whereas in (0:10:39) Kev: - Yeah. (0:10:43) Al: Stardew you’re doing it because it’s there, you know. (0:10:48) Kev: OK, right. I get you. (0:10:52) Al: So yeah, the fighting isn’t the unique thing, the kind of the story around why you’re fighting (0:10:52) Kev: Well, hopefully. OK. (0:10:57) Al: and what you’re doing and why you have amnesia. (0:10:58) Kev: Now, OK, I get you. (0:11:01) Kev: Well, hopefully this does combine the two, maybe a bit more. (0:11:09) Kev: You know, I’m always down for that, right? (0:11:11) Kev: Because I feel like at this point, we’ve had a handful of games (0:11:14) Kev: trying to combine the monster catching and the farming. (0:11:17) Kev: but I don’t feel like (0:11:18) Kev: any have actually done it that well (0:11:22) Kev: meshing the two together not not just having them both in the game but (0:11:24) Al: Oh, you’re right, it does look like Monster Collection, because it definitely looks like (0:11:25) Kev: actually you know (0:11:26) Kev: working together that’s what I want to see like paleo pines is the one that i (0:11:31) Kev: can think of that i’ve (0:11:37) Al: they’re telling monsters with cards what to do. (0:11:42) Kev: Yup, that you go triple A, level, I don’t know whatever A, this is Moonstone Island, maybe, who knows. (0:11:42) Al: So it looks like it might be a deck builder. (0:11:50) Al: A farming creature collector deck building. (0:11:52) Kev: Marvelous Moonstone Island, there we go. (0:11:59) Kev: Maybe, who knows. One, one other thing, like, I don’t, I’m gonna, you haven’t mentioned it, (0:12:07) Kev: So I’m guessing it doesn’t hold much weight for you, but they got Hiromashima to work on (0:12:12) Kev: the art, which is pretty cool for people not familiar. He’s a Japanese bengaka. He has (0:12:18) Kev: some pretty big hits. I think most notably he’s called Fairy Tail. The art for the characters (0:12:23) Kev: he has. Very distinct that those eyes are like his trademarks. But anyways, personally (0:12:29) Kev: that excites me. I like Hiromashima, so that’s pretty cool. That’s a good get. (0:12:32) Al: enough so they say this game is in development and will be releasing this (0:12:38) Al: year I don’t think it’s releasing this year like if this is I mean it’s June (0:12:40) Kev: which is wild (0:12:44) Al: basically right it’s June and they they’ve not even shown any game footage (0:12:45) Kev: yeah (0:12:50) Al: or even really given us a good idea of what the game is and they say it’s (0:12:52) Kev: yeah that’s wild to me (0:12:55) Al: coming out this year doubt it we’ll see we’ll see six months you can do a lot in (0:12:57) Kev: I don’t I don’t know (0:13:01) Kev: we’ll see (0:13:02) Al: a guess me I mean it’s it’s very possible that they just don’t want to (0:13:04) Kev: that you can (0:13:06) Al: hype it up too quickly and too fast and actually they are on track to be ready (0:13:09) Kev: - Yeah. (0:13:11) Kev: Yes, I will say that I haven’t, okay, I haven’t kept up with Marvelous' (0:13:17) Kev: released schedule history, but I haven’t heard bad things about it at least, right? (0:13:22) Kev: Like, I haven’t heard huge delays or whatever. But, um, the real question is, (0:13:24) Al: no they don’t they don’t they don’t tend to do they don’t tend to have delays (0:13:30) Kev: yeah. Yeah, so we’ll see. I think 20, 24, it’s, I think it’s possible. (0:13:35) Al: oh except for Rune Factory 5 that was delayed by multiple years but (0:13:40) Kev: Well, yeah, touche. (0:13:42) Al: to everyone that’s listening and screaming Rune Factory 5 yes yes yes (0:13:43) Kev: The question for me is when or if it will get localized. (0:13:54) Al: Yeah, yeah, that’s always a good question because they have… I’m trying to remember (0:13:54) Kev: That’s what I wanna know. (0:13:59) Al: if any… I think Pioneers of All of Town may be released the same time over here, but yeah, (0:14:06) Al: I don’t think they generally… Oh, and the newer Doraemon game, Doraemon, Story of Seasons, (0:14:14) Al: Friends of the Great Kingdom, that released at the same time everywhere, but I think in (0:14:21) Al: general, like a wonderful life was (0:14:24) Al: was like a couple of months, wasn’t it? (0:14:26) Kev: Yeah (0:14:27) Al: And the Friends of Minero Town remake was a couple of months (0:14:30) Al: and Rinfactory 5 was like three or four months. (0:14:31) Kev: Yeah (0:14:33) Kev: Well, I mean that’s a reasonable time right like question the bigger question is the if all right because (0:14:40) Kev: You know, this is a new title and franchise whatever right? (0:14:43) Al: Well, let’s, I mean, let’s put it, let’s put it this way. I, I mean, this was the English (0:14:43) Kev: So I don’t know if they’re gonna feel like it’s gonna hit in the States or outside (0:14:53) Al: language version of their showcase. Now granted it was in, it was all of, they didn’t have (0:14:59) Al: it dubbed, but they did have it subbed and it was a specific version of the video for (0:15:05) Al: the English language YouTube channel. (0:15:06) Kev: That is true, and we get in English official English title for major. You know I take it back (0:15:11) Kev: It’s gonna get localized. Doesn’t think about that (0:15:13) Al: I think Farmagia is just, is just the name. I think that’s what they’re calling it in (0:15:14) Kev: and they (0:15:17) Al: Japan as well. Yeah. (0:15:17) Kev: Oh is it okay (0:15:19) Kev: Well there you go (0:15:22) Kev: Well, they said showed it like in English. I don’t know and that could have been the name in Japan in Japan (0:15:25) Al: Yeah, they called it… (0:15:27) Kev: But with Japanese characters you know I mean (0:15:30) Al: Yeah, I just listened to it, and yeah, they called it “Pharmagia” is what they called it in the in the Japanese. (0:15:30) Kev: But we’ll see (0:15:32) Kev: Okay, Mike. I hope sir hi (0:15:36) Kev: All right, there you go. (0:15:41) Kev: And also, they very clearly labeled other things in the showcase as Japan only. (0:15:43) Al: They did, yeah. That’s a good point. They had one of the arcade cabinets was Japan only, the Pokemon one, and one of the mobile games was Japan only. (0:15:54) Kev: In the crane game we don’t get fluffy cow plush (0:15:56) Al: Oh yeah, the crane game. Well, you say game. I do feel like it’s like, is it a game? Like, this is stretching game quite a lot, like gambling box. (0:16:06) Kev: Okay, that one, that one I don’t know. (0:16:11) Kev: Other crane games, I, yes, I think they are, (0:16:14) Kev: but that one did specifically. (0:16:16) Kev: I don’t know, that was a weird design. (0:16:16) Al: it was very different it was very it definitely looked a very large plush (0:16:18) Kev: But who cares? (0:16:19) Kev: I just want the cow inside. (0:16:25) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:16:27) Kev: So just, we gotta plan our trip to Japan (0:16:30) Kev: so we can review the cow plush. (0:16:34) Al: Subscribe to our Patreon! (0:16:38) Al: I promise, Kevin, if we get enough patrons to mean that I can afford to take me and you (0:16:41) Al: to Japan, I will do it. (0:16:43) Al: It’s not gonna happen, but… (0:16:44) Kev: that’d be great yeah yeah we need okay that’s (0:16:48) Al: Next we have Story of Seasons. (0:16:50) Al: So in the grand tradition of this video of not giving us any real information, we got (0:16:55) Al: No real information about this either! (0:16:58) Kev: Nope. (0:17:00) Al: So we got the same little video that we got last year (0:17:04) Al: of the chickens and the cows. (0:17:05) Al: And then they showed us a little bit more of the seasons (0:17:11) Al: and the weather and someone looking up at the sky (0:17:14) Al: and seeing fireworks. (0:17:16) Al: And we saw a horse. (0:17:18) Al: And the one gameplay feature difference that we’re seeing (0:17:21) Al: is there’s a glider, which is interesting. (0:17:24) Kev: Yeah, I don’t know how about it. I don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t know how gliders you’re gonna fit in (0:17:29) Kev: But I guess we’ll see (0:17:31) Al: I mean, it definitely leans towards the fact that this is going to be, if possibly not (0:17:36) Al: open world, but certainly a full 3D exploration kind of farming game type thing, more like (0:17:41) Kev: I imagine, at the very least, I bet they’re gonna have a big wild area type of area, where (0:17:46) Al: how the… yeah, they’re going to do something. (0:17:53) Kev: you can maybe catch canvas or something, I don’t know. (0:17:57) Kev: The one thing that I haven’t paid attention to previously when they nest or whatever, (0:18:02) Kev: but they did emphasize, like, they’re putting a lot of focus on the visuals, and it is absolutely (0:18:07) Al: Yeah, it looks, it looks, it looks fine, but like, I mean, I’m also just okay. Fine. Like, (0:18:09) Kev: the prettiest story of season’s game ever. (0:18:19) Al: but why? Like, I just, I don’t know what I have to be excited about it, other than, (0:18:25) Al: yeah, it looks, looks, looks nice. (0:18:28) Kev: We get HDTaos. (0:18:29) Al: Yes, but what is this game? Like, I don’t know, what is it? I want to know what it (0:18:30) Kev: That’s exciting for me. (0:18:37) Al: is. And like, what was the last game they actually released that was actively exciting? (0:18:37) Kev: That, eh, validating, yeah, yeah, yeah. (0:18:45) Al: I know you liked A Wonderful Life, but you liked A Wonderful Life because you like A (0:18:49) Al: Wonderful Life, right? Like somebody who had not played that before would not be excited (0:18:51) Kev: Yes. (0:18:54) Al: about that. The second Doraemon game was okay, but it wasn’t like exciting and different (0:18:55) Kev: They should be. (0:19:00) Al: from the first, really. The first Doraemon story of season’s game, that was probably (0:19:05) Al: the last actually exciting. (0:19:07) Al: and pioneers of all of town was fine but it wasn’t amazing it didn’t do it I mean (0:19:10) Kev: Well, yeah, I guess we’ll have to see, won’t we? (0:19:18) Kev: Right. (0:19:19) Kev: Yeah. (0:19:20) Al: it wasn’t bad right but nothing about it is memorable like as bad as bad as the (0:19:23) Kev: It was whelming. (0:19:27) Al: most the last to harvest moon games have been at least they’re memorable like (0:19:33) Kev: It is better to be a trash fire than just a mediocre. (0:19:34) Al: pain. (0:19:38) Al: Yeah. So I hope they’re doing something rather than just going, what if story of seasons, (0:19:45) Al: but 3D, you know, like, I hope it’s more than that. (0:19:50) Kev: Yeah (0:19:51) Kev: Well, yeah, well, yeah, that’s a good question. I will have to see who knows (0:19:56) Al: But I’m also, well possibly, I’m also just a little bit surprised by (0:19:57) Kev: Maybe for Magia be the winners (0:20:04) Al: we got maybe a little bit (0:20:07) Al: more than the amount of footage we got last year, a year ago. We still don’t have a name, (0:20:13) Al: we still don’t have any actual gameplay, just some pre-rendered cutscenes. And no idea about (0:20:18) Al: what this game actually is, a year later, after the first initial indication that this (0:20:21) Kev: Yeah, that’s a good point, yeah. (0:20:23) Al: game was coming. And that’s not the last time I’m going to say this. But the other thing, (0:20:28) Kev: When will you say it again? (0:20:35) Al: before we get on to that. The other thing that I’m surprised (0:20:38) Al: by is last year they announced there were two Story of Seasons games coming. This one (0:20:41) Al: that they’ve been talking about now, a single player focused one, but also a multiplayer (0:20:45) Al: focused one. We got no indication that they’re even still doing that at all. It wasn’t even (0:20:50) Al: a like ‘oh we’re still doing this’. Nothing at all. They didn’t mention it at all. They (0:20:55) Al: talked about one Story of Seasons game. So has that second Story of Seasons game died? (0:21:01) Al: Have they decided to just stop talking about it until it’s closer? (0:21:04) Kev: I don’t know became became the nude Damon ex machina. That’s what happened (0:21:12) Al: Right, okay, next we have Rune Factory, Rune Factory Project Dragon, which is not Rune (0:21:16) Kev: So what what else did they talk about? (0:21:24) Al: Factory 6, because as I’ve just mentioned for the Story Seasons multiplayer game, they (0:21:29) Al: didn’t mention Rune Factory 6, even though they mentioned Rune Factory 6 a year ago. (0:21:32) Kev: Yep. (0:21:37) Al: Yeah, I don’t know why… (0:21:37) Kev: I’m starting to get the impression (0:21:39) Kev: they may have made some questionable PR decisions. (0:21:42) Al: Whoever decided what they were going to tell us all that information last year, like, (0:21:47) Al: just silly, silly decision, you should not do that. (0:21:52) Kev: Yeah, although they did give the small disclaimer at the beginning that they were there were gonna be games (0:21:58) Kev: They talked about last year that they were gonna talk about this year (0:22:01) Kev: So they acknowledged it (0:22:02) Al: Yeah, but for what reason, though? This is the thing. They didn’t say why. Right? So (0:22:07) Al: this is my thing. It’s like, don’t announce a game. Because they did this with Rune Factory (0:22:08) Kev: That is fine (0:22:14) Al: 5, right? They announced, “Oh, we’re making Rune Factory 5.” And then it took four years, (0:22:19) Al: was it? Until they actually released Rune Factory 5, and they basically gave no information (0:22:28) Al: for most of that time. (0:22:30) Kev: Yeah, mmm, so look forward to farm Asia is the theme of this showcase (0:22:36) Al: Fine, let’s talk about Project Dragon. (0:22:40) Al: So they said that this is a game where you save the world through dance, (0:22:41) Kev: Dance (0:22:46) Al: but all the stuff they showed us was just pretty standard combat. (0:22:46) Kev: And I didn’t see dancing (0:22:50) Kev: Yeah, I was about to say that it looks you know what it looks like it looks like genshin impact boy, that’s that’s some genshin impact (0:22:58) Kev: Okay. (0:23:00) Al: I’ll take your word for it. I haven’t actually played (0:23:00) Kev: Um, I mean, I haven’t played that much either, but I’ve seen Genshin Impact gameplay and it, it looks very similar. (0:23:08) Kev: Um, but yeah, it, like one thing ever and down here is like, it, there’s no farming that we really saw. (0:23:16) Kev: Is it just the combat oriented one? (0:23:18) Kev: Maybe because brand. (0:23:18) Al: I feel like why would they call it Runefactory if it didn’t have farming in it? (0:23:22) Al: But then I feel like if they were going to do that, they would have called Farmagia one of, they would have called it a Runefactory. (0:23:29) Kev: Well, you know what? The thing is, this isn’t a mainline room factory game. It’s a side game. (0:23:36) Al: I mean you’re right though they didn’t say anything about farming so we don’t know if (0:23:42) Al: it’s got farming in it. We do know it’s got combat which they claim is dance. I didn’t (0:23:42) Kev: Yeah. (0:23:48) Kev: I didn’t see dancing. I wish it were. I’d be excited if it were actually fight dancing. (0:23:50) Al: see dancing either. I guess there’s a bit that I’m watching where they’re they’re fighting (0:23:59) Al: a wooly and it does look like they don’t actually have a weapon and they’re doing moves like (0:24:03) Al: you have a weapon and it’s shooting off fireballs. (0:24:06) Al: That just looks like standard magic stuff in these games, right? (0:24:10) Kev: Yeah (0:24:10) Al: Like it doesn’t… (0:24:11) Al: I don’t… (0:24:12) Al: What makes this dance? (0:24:13) Kev: Yeah, it doesn’t it’s probably just the story whatever it’s probably not actually the game (0:24:16) Al: Yeah. (0:24:18) Al: No information on when it’s releasing. (0:24:23) Al: I think they’d originally said this was meant to be coming out this year. (0:24:26) Al: It’s probably not. (0:24:28) Kev: Yeah, who knows? (0:24:28) Al: Yeah. (0:24:29) Al: Yeah. (0:24:29) Kev: So far, Meiji, uh-huh. (0:24:30) Al: I don’t… (0:24:32) Al: It certainly weirdly seems like the one that’s closest to release, and also the (0:24:36) Al: one that’s possibly most exciting out of these. (0:24:37) Kev: Yeah. (0:24:39) Kev: Because it feels the most real. (0:24:42) Al: Maybe that’s… (0:24:43) Al: Maybe that’s why. (0:24:44) Kev: Yeah, I mean, yeah, like, (0:24:46) Kev: even though we didn’t get the gameplay trailer, (0:24:48) Kev: first of all, we get the release date, (0:24:50) Kev: which implies they’re close to completion to some degree. (0:24:52) Al: Well, we got released year, year, yeah, but I like it’s, it’s a very wide way. (0:24:55) Kev: Release year, oh yeah, yes, year, right? (0:24:58) Kev: Release window, let’s say that, right? (0:25:00) Kev: There is a number. (0:25:02) Al: It’s a six month long window at this point. (0:25:04) Kev: Sure, sure. (0:25:06) Kev: Yeah, but I mean, the others have a much wider window. (0:25:12) Kev: At least, they’re telling us that this game (0:25:15) Kev: will very likely exist from Asia, (0:25:19) Kev: from Agia, whatever they call it. (0:25:21) Kev: And hey, like, what we can in French on the trailer, (0:25:24) Kev: you know, monster catching farming, (0:25:26) Kev: It all sounds fun, so. (0:25:28) Kev: So, yeah, I’m excited about it, and hey, yep, yeah, the Dracula one, yep, that’s, uh, it’s fine. (0:25:30) Al: Yeah, they had a little indie section in the middle as well where they talked about a few (0:25:36) Al: of the games that they are publishing, including Moonlight Peaks, which is one we’ve talked (0:25:41) Al: about before, which is interesting. They’ve apparently said it’s coming out in 2026 now, (0:25:48) Kev: Okay, sure, take your time. I’m in a rush. I’m keen on the game. (0:25:49) Al: which before it was saying they didn’t have any date before, so just updating my list. (0:25:58) Kev: You know how your grandpa. (0:26:00) Al: That is, that is the first game. That’s the first game on my list to say 2026. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. (0:26:06) Kev: You know how it’s always your grandpa or whatever who judges your farm? (0:26:14) Kev: Does this mean we’ll get Dracula to judge our farm? (0:26:15) Al: Yeah. (0:26:18) Kev: I like that. (0:26:24) Kev: There was that Death by Guitar game. (0:26:26) Kev: game. It wasn’t Cottagecore, but you played it. (0:26:28) Kev: It plays an electric guitar. I think that’s red. (0:26:30) Al: Yeah, I kind of vaguely paid attention to that, but I was like, I don’t have the headspace (0:26:34) Al: to figure out what is happening. And there was a… (0:26:34) Kev: And that’s fine. And Pokemon– who thought– I didn’t know Pokemon actually would ever hear one of these, but there we are. (0:26:38) Al: Yeah, the… (0:26:42) Kev: It’s not Cottagecore, it’s an arcade game. Very excited-looking children, but… (0:26:42) Al: Yeah. (0:26:45) Al: I think it actually looked kind of cool because it was like too stuck together and you can (0:26:53) Al: play them individually or you can join up for co-op and it covers all both screens for (0:26:56) Kev: Yeah (0:27:01) Kev: Yeah, arcade machines are cool and like they do really cool stuff in Japan with them (0:27:06) Kev: So it’s a pity they’re dead pretty much everywhere else, but that there you go (0:27:12) Kev: No cow plushie for us (0:27:12) Al: There was a Metroidvania as well, which looked fine, but it looked like a pretty standard (0:27:16) Kev: Yeah, I do I (0:27:18) Al: Metroidvania, right? (0:27:19) Al: There’s nothing like, “Oh wow, it was amazing,” but it was fine. (0:27:20) Kev: Followed Hollow Knight did the Stardew thing where it’s just kind of ruined (0:27:27) Kev: Genre, why why did you have to give it the cape like the Hollow Knight? (0:27:35) Al: I’m looking for my first farming Metroidvania. (0:27:39) Kev: Oh (0:27:42) Kev: I’m trying to think you know Hades 2 has farming. It’s not metroidvania. Oh, no, I’m not it has farming. Absolutely (0:27:47) Al: Oh please tell me you’re joking. (0:27:52) Al: So it’s more like Cult of the Lam. (0:27:55) Kev: And maybe? (0:27:56) Al: Damn, am I gonna have to play this stupid game? (0:27:58) Kev: Because I don’t know if you remember Hades one had the fishing right so they like they said we’re gonna kind of expand on (0:28:04) Kev: That and they threw in farming now (0:28:05) Al: Yeah, the thing the thing is, right, the fishing is just like, it’s not really interesting to me, (0:28:11) Al: because it’s just all of the stuff in Hades between the runs was just things you did (0:28:11) Kev: Yeah (0:28:15) Kev: Yeah, yeah, yeah (0:28:16) Al: to make the runs better, right? Whereas the thing about Cult of the Lamb was the runs (0:28:21) Al: were to make your your village better, not the other way around. (0:28:24) Kev: Yeah (0:28:26) Kev: That’s a good point. I don’t know how far goes into that. I just know farming exists in the game (0:28:32) Kev: I haven’t played it myself or anything (0:28:34) Al: I don’t want to play this game. Don’t make me play this game. (0:28:36) Kev: Cottagecore (0:28:39) Al: Speaking of games that I’m gonna play but I don’t expect to enjoy, we have a new Harvest (0:28:45) Al: Moon game being announced, Harvest Moon Home Sweet Home, but this is a mobile game. It (0:28:52) Al: is coming to iOS and Android in August of this year. So in two months, between two and (0:28:58) Kev: Ha! (0:28:58) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:28:59) Al: three months, but we didn’t get any gameplay footage or screenshots of this game at all. (0:29:04) Al: in this announcement. And it very much feels like they went, “Oh, (0:29:08) Al: the Marvelous Showcase is tomorrow. Let’s announce our new game, even though we’re not ready to.” (0:29:14) Al: Because it was announced literally 24 hours before the Marvelous Showcase. (0:29:18) Kev: Look, there’s no denying that Marvelous has done better than Natsume, but Natsume likes (0:29:25) Kev: to hold up that Harvest Moon logo just to remind them. (0:29:28) Al: Yeah, so they announced this game, all they did was one tweet and it says “Harvest Moon (0:29:29) Kev: Just to rub the salt on their one win. (0:29:33) Kev: And it works! (0:29:34) Kev: It hurts me to see it! (0:29:42) Al: Home Sweet Home is coming to iOS and Android August 2024. Home is where the heart is. After (0:29:48) Al: 10 years of city life, you’re ready to head back home in Harvest Moon Home Sweet Home. (0:29:53) Al: Your childhood friend has convinced you to move back to your hometown to try to revitalize (0:29:58) Al: to be easy going. The town of Alba, I’m assuming it’s Alba, not Alaba, because I don’t know. (0:30:04) Al: Did we have this conversation around the other game? What was it called? Alba Wild Life Adventure, (0:30:08) Kev: I mean, there’s Jessica Alba, right, so I’m going with that. (0:30:17) Al: because the word Alba is also, that spelling is a Gaelic word to refer to Scotland, but (0:30:28) Al: it’s not pronounced Alba, it’s pronounced Alapa. So it’s like, I’m assuming you’re correct in this (0:30:31) Kev: Well, the invisible woman lied to me. (0:30:35) Al: Alba, but I can’t read it and not think about that, the fact that it could theoretically be (0:30:43) Al: Scotland. I doubt it, but anyway, we’ll move on. Back to the quote. “The town of Alba,” I’m just (0:30:49) Al: going to say Alba for now, “has seen better days and not all its residents are happy to see a city (0:30:53) Al: slicker like you back. Can you convince even the negative naysayers? (0:30:58) Al: That you truly have the village’s best interests at heart? And can you revitalize Alba with the (0:31:03) Al: help of your childhood friend and other villagers on your side? You definitely can. (0:31:08) Kev: okay so there’s there’s nothing here like uh let’s be clear but but it’s giving me some ideas (0:31:11) Al: No. (0:31:13) Al: Yeah, that was a lot of words to tell us nothing. (0:31:17) Kev: but it’s giving me some ideas and we get a cottage poor farming game where the residents (0:31:26) Kev: all are hateful and and discriminating and and not nice i’d be down for this (0:31:32) Al: We should do it where you like you get to choose um I don’t know if this is really bad (0:31:39) Al: or not but I’m going with it anyway I’m leaning in you get to choose what minority you are (0:31:44) Al: and then everybody in the village hates that specific minority and you have to justify (0:31:47) Kev: Yeah (0:31:53) Kev: Yeah (0:31:54) Al: justify why you should exist oh no (0:32:01) Kev: Somebody get on this. This is gold. Mmm. Oh (0:32:04) Al: don’t know how I feel about even talking about that. That’s dreadful. Oh my word. No! (0:32:09) Kev: You could you could do some mean stuff at one point they have to burn your crops, you know when they have to (0:32:15) Kev: - Thank you. (0:32:17) Al: - No. (0:32:17) Kev: - Yeah, it’s good stuff. (laughs) (0:32:22) Kev: Hmm. (0:32:24) Al: Yeah, so there’s nothing here about this game, we don’t have any information about it, because (0:32:29) Al: like all of this is saying is basically the plot of every farming game. (0:32:35) Kev: Yep, yep, this this description gave me an another angle to another idea (0:32:41) Kev: Why don’t we do the reverse where you move to the city to? (0:32:46) Kev: Gentrify the village to modernize it ruin ruin the lifestyle. Let’s see that. Let’s see that angle. Come on (0:32:53) Kev: Be the this slick real estate guy (0:32:57) Al: It’s just taking the, um, the Georgia route to the extreme. (0:33:02) Kev: Yeah, yeah, basically (0:33:05) Kev: Thank you harvest moon for in announcing these ideas in my head (0:33:05) Al: You know, you know, there’s a fun. (0:33:10) Kev: Heh heh heh. (0:33:10) Al: There’s a fantastic bit in, you know, how on, in the 1.6 stardew update, (0:33:15) Al: you can pay to find the walnuts on ginger Island. (0:33:18) Kev: Yeah, yeah. (0:33:19) Al: If you do that, there’s a fantastic cut scene where, uh, what’s, isn’t (0:33:24) Al: Morris is sitting on our bed. (0:33:27) Al: Deck chair in the middle of the island with bags of cash sitting around him while his (0:33:29) Kev: Yeah. (0:33:32) Al: parrots go and find all the walnuts is fantastic okay so that’s that’s all of this the marvelous (0:33:32) Kev: You’re the last. (0:33:35) Kev: It’s good, that’s good, I like that. (0:33:39) Kev: That’s, that’s strong. (0:33:44) Al: stuff and the natsume stuff so we have some other game news as well which is a little (0:33:50) Al: bit more concrete shall we say so first of all we have gourdlets gourdlets have announced (0:33:57) Al: they’re releasing in summer 2024 so just to summarize this this was this is it describes (0:34:05) Al: itself as an easy-going sandbox game about building towns for cute vegetable folks yeah (0:34:12) Kev: That’s exactly what it looks like. (0:34:16) Al: you love when you’ve got a description of a game and you’re like yeah that is yeah okay (0:34:19) Al: sure and it’s very sad it like it’s very sandboxy like there’s some bits of them actually just (0:34:25) Al: putting just making. (0:34:27) Kev: It’s that isometric (0:34:29) Kev: You know view with you see the whole island and clearly you can add to it and cubicle or whatever (0:34:36) Kev: Yeah (0:34:37) Kev: Those are some Pikmin vegetable people (0:34:40) Al: I. I mean. (0:34:40) Kev: Yeah, all right. That’s cute. When do they add the turnip boy crossover to ruin everything? (0:34:47) Kev: Does he fit in? (0:34:47) Al: I’m intrigued as to see how well this will work with controller, (0:34:50) Al: because it does say it will have controller support. (0:34:53) Kev: Hmm (0:34:54) Al: I’m intrigued to see how well that will work, because it looks very mouse based. (0:34:57) Kev: It does, one of those vegetable people is cooking, okay. (0:35:03) Kev: I don’t know, they don’t have hands, I don’t know how they do it, but they do it. (0:35:06) Al: You don’t need to question these things (0:35:10) Kev: Also, this isn’t their fault, but (0:35:14) Kev: Ooblets has really claimed their stake on that name and (0:35:20) Kev: the (0:35:20) Al: let’s hmm well we’ll see what we’ll see what comes of it so they’re releasing in (0:35:27) Al: the summer and I don’t think that’s early access I think that’s just 1.0 (0:35:32) Kev: Yeah, their demo’s out now, so probably. (0:35:34) Al: slime rancher 2 have announced that they have just released a 0.5 update it (0:35:42) Al: doesn’t seem like there’s much to talk about if you don’t already have played (0:35:46) Al: the game. There’s stuff about a new shop. (0:35:50) Kev: Okay. Look, I, well, I get, like, I get marketing has to be a thing, but you can announce your early access. I get that. But after that, I don’t want to hear anything about it until 1.0. (0:36:03) Kev: It feels so weird to me to announce these half updates or whatever. Like it’s wild. (0:36:12) Al: Am I part of the problem Kevin? Speaking of weird update numbers, (0:36:15) Kev: No, you’re not. You’re, no, no, no, no, not by any means. It’s, it’s like, (0:36:21) Al: Paleopine’s 1.4.3 adds the now let me see if I got this, (0:36:21) Kev: ha ha ha. (0:36:28) Al: if I can pronounce this properly, Sarcosuchus, or Sarcosuchus? (0:36:32) Kev: Uh, circus sutures, I’d say sutures, but it could be, because I don’t, you might be right. (0:36:38) Kev: It might be circus, circus, circus, circus, circus, circus. (0:36:39) Al: A new dinosaur. (0:36:41) Kev: I don’t know which one. (0:36:43) Al: - It adds a new dinosaur, that’s what matters. (0:36:46) Al: And if you, listener, are like, I love dinosaurs, (0:36:50) Al: but I specifically wanted the Sarkosuchus, (0:36:52) Al: and I wasn’t gonna buy paleopines until that was in the game. (0:36:56) Al: Now’s your time. (0:36:57) Kev: there you go um I think then that’s a plushie too yep there’s a plushie of it yep a good old (0:37:05) Kev: makeshift um I do think it’s cool that they add more dinosaurs to this game because you know (0:37:11) Kev: obviously that’s going to be the appeal right but but I want a really big on the 2.0 update that adds (0:37:18) Kev: like a whole new class of dinosaurs like the sauropods they were in the game they were just cut (0:37:22) Al: You’d rather wait six months and then get 10 dinosaurs than get one a month. (0:37:28) Kev: Yes, absolutely, absolutely. (0:37:30) Al: I think that’s fair, and maybe there’s a time we need to have a conversation about (0:37:34) Al: this on the pod properly, but I do feel like there’s something big about that, like (0:37:39) Al: there’s something exciting about like the Stardew updates every two or three years. (0:37:45) Kev: Yeah, and like, I think, because like, I mean, it’s Hello Pines is very much in the vein of monster collect the right maybe not as as intense as other games but it’s a lot of the same bones right of collecting dinosaurs right. (0:38:02) Kev: I think monster collectors in general like, because Moonstone Island does the same thing every couple of months they’ll release like one or two new creatures or whatever which in a game we’re collecting (0:38:15) Kev: is a big deal like, I think it’s just not exciting to collect one new one you know, like, I mean, Pokemon right they do they drop, you know, a whole (0:38:20) Al: Yeah, well that’s actually, Pokemon’s a really good example of that actually because I still (0:38:30) Al: play Pokemon Go all the time, Pokemon Go specifically, but I really miss when every (0:38:38) Al: few months they had here’s 10 new Pokemon, right? And now that it’s like every so often (0:38:45) Al: there’s one new Pokemon, you know, because they’re obviously slowing down because they can’t create (0:38:47) Kev: Yeah, or can they? (0:38:50) Al: Pokemon to add in, they can only work with what they’re given. (0:38:57) Kev: We don’t know what what gen 10 will be, could be released exclusively through Go. (0:39:01) Al: Well sure, but that’s still the Pokemon company and Game Freak making the Pokemon up, right? Niantic (0:39:03) Kev: I know, I’m, yeah, I know, I’m messing, but yeah. (0:39:07) Al: cannot create new Pokemon, they can only work with what they’ve got, and so they’ve slowed (0:39:13) Al: that down massively so that they don’t run out, but that just makes it less exciting, right? (0:39:20) Al: Oh, here’s a Pokemon, you’re like, oh great, I’ll go out and catch that one new Pokemon. (0:39:24) Al: It’s not exciting. Yeah, I would agree. (0:39:26) Kev: yeah yeah yeah so um yeah but yeah so that and and again paleo going back to the paleo (0:39:35) Kev: pines thing like it’s like dinosaurs are cool and I appreciate but just and I know they’ve shown (0:39:41) Kev: they had a lot of content or things they were planning to add so I feel like they’re gonna (0:39:46) Kev: plan a 2.0 some sort of big update with a bunch of dinosaurs and I don’t know like I said I personally (0:39:50) Al: It’s possible that they are doing that. I will also say that Paleopine’s works a bit (0:39:53) Kev: Well wait, but it does keep it in the news cycle. (0:39:59) Al: differently to like normal creature collection and you can’t - it’s hard to like just go (0:40:02) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:40:05) Al: out and collect everything, right? So actually having that steady release of here’s a new (0:40:06) Kev: Yeah, it is, yes. (0:40:10) Al: one means that you might always have something that you haven’t got yet, which is possibly (0:40:16) Kev: - That is true, that is true. (0:40:16) Al: a good thing. It’s a difficult one. (0:40:20) Kev: Yeah. (0:40:20) Al: My point is I don’t think there’s a “this is always the best way” because I think we’ve (0:40:24) Al: talked about it before and that I don’t think everybody can do the stardew thing because (0:40:29) Al: you’re not going to be constantly interested in every game releasing a massive update every (0:40:35) Al: two years. You’re also not going to be interested in every game releasing an update every month (0:40:36) Kev: Yeah, I guess. (0:40:40) Al: but be that as it may. Speaking of updates, Minami Lane. Minami Lane. Minami Lane. (0:40:41) Kev: Yeah, that’s true. (0:40:48) Kev: What? Oh, minomulate? I don’t know, whatever. (0:40:50) Al: Minami Lane. Anyway, they’ve released an update 1.1. It has gamepad support and six new languages (0:40:58) Al: and a bunch of quality of life and improvements and (0:41:02) Al: fixes etc. But the main thing is that the controller support and the languages. (0:41:07) Kev: This is the one with that raccoon, the war veteran, right, I think? (0:41:11) Al: No, that was Akka was the war veteran. (0:41:14) Kev: Oh, yeah, no, you’re right, that is that guy. (0:41:18) Al: Yeah, I know this one’s a (0:41:20) Al: a small village builder. It’s not really a town builder. It’s a village builder. (0:41:26) Al: It’s more like a street. It’s like one street. (0:41:26) Kev: almost like a neighborhood builder yeah okay yeah that’s there’s that isometric sandbox again (0:41:36) Al: we love it I have owned this I do own this game I haven’t played it yet (0:41:43) Al: because do you want to guess why I haven’t played it yet (0:41:43) Kev: Okay (0:41:47) Kev: You’re playing Stardew Valley no, I don’t know (0:41:49) Al: nope it didn’t have controller support (0:41:52) Kev: Now I was that I was about to actually guess that after I said that I don’t know I was like I look like oh (0:41:58) Al: if you release a game on steam and it doesn’t have controller support i’m not (0:42:01) Al: playing it until it has controller support because i’m playing it on my (0:42:04) Al: my Steam Deck, that is where I’m playing it. (0:42:06) Kev: Yeah, even as someone who doesn’t have this thing, I feel very similarly. (0:42:14) Al: I feel like if I was like a student now rather than 15 years ago, instead of building a gaming (0:42:23) Al: PC, I would have just bought a Steam Deck, I think, because the portability is such a (0:42:28) Al: huge thing. And you can still use it like a standard PC by plugging it into monitors (0:42:35) Al: and stuff like that. But obviously it didn’t exist back then. Sad. (0:42:37) Kev: Mm-hmm (0:42:40) Kev: Yeah, that’s yeah, yeah, that’s fair. Yeah, I think so and (0:42:45) Kev: steam tech saw like it’s a big appeal of (0:42:49) Kev: The consoles for me or just open the box and play the thing right like in steam deck is very much in the line (0:42:52) Al: Exactly. And yes, sure, it’s something you might have to update more often than you would if you (0:42:59) Al: were putting a lot of money into a high-end PC. But one, you’re still spending less money, (0:43:02) Kev: …Right. (0:43:04) Al: right? Because high-end PCs cost a lot of money. People go, “Oh, well, you can get a lot more for (0:43:04) Kev: Mm-hmm. (0:43:09) Al: your money in a PC, sure, but you have to spend a lot to get something better than a console.” (0:43:13) Kev: We have updating you don’t need to update as much. (0:43:15) Al: And two, I can’t remember my number two. What was my point? What was I arguing about? (0:43:21) Al: Yeah. You. (0:43:23) Al: Yeah, it’s just it’s one of the oh, yes, I remember the steam deck is like the baseline now for games. So if you have a game, a steam deck, you know, it’s going to be able to run most games, most games are going to be able to run on it. Not all, but most games will be able to run on it. (0:43:38) Kev: Yeah, mm hmm. (0:43:41) Al: And so even though they might not run the best and they might not have the best graphics, it’s still, you know, you’re going to be able to run it. Whereas if you have like a cheap PC you’ve put together with a bunch of things or you have. (0:43:52) Al: Like a cheap laptop or something, no guarantees there, you know, having that guaranteed hardware that, you know, that someone has played someone, someone else in the world has played this game on that hardware. (0:44:05) Al: You know that you can guarantee that there is somebody that has played this game on a steam deck. And if if there’s an issue with it, they will have told the developer, whereas your random PC that you’ve shoved stuff together may well have some really weird edge case bug. (0:44:20) Kev: Yeah, yeah, you’re right. Yeah, it’s absolutely the (0:44:30) Kev: Consistency that’s around looking for here consistency, right? That’s that’s a big appeal (0:44:32) Al: Yep, exactly. Potion Pyramid have released their Complete Edition. The Complete Edition (0:44:39) Al: will contain the base game of Potion Pyramid and all paid DLC, with over 30 cosmetic pieces (0:44:46) Al: of furniture to decorate your potion house. The Complete Edition will be available as a physical (0:44:50) Al: version on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. A Complete Edition DLC pack will be available (0:44:56) Al: digitally for those that own the base game and want all the available DLC. (0:45:00) Kev: Yeah, I do appreciate get doing the big everything’s here release including the physical (0:45:02) Al: Yeah, it also seems to be 66% discounted just now. The complete bundle. You can get the whole (0:45:18) Al: bundle for £18, which is only £1 more than the base game is at its standard price. (0:45:26) Kev: Well there you go. (0:45:27) Al: And I assume it’s a similar sort of price in the US, but I’m looking at the non-US price. (0:45:31) Kev: Yeah. (0:45:32) Al: So if you have been… no, you go, nope, you go. (0:45:33) Kev: Yeah. (0:45:34) Kev: Look, I’m sorry. (0:45:35) Kev: Just go in. (0:45:38) Kev: I would just get it. (0:45:38) Kev: Look, I’m sorry. (0:45:39) Kev: Like potion permanently.

Alex here! Today, I'm sharing the first episode of Dice Exploder's Third Season, a discussion on the Risk Sheet from Psi*Run by Meguey and Vincent Baker. Dice Exploder is a podcast that invites a different co-host to bring a game mechanic on and discuss why it works, or even why it doesn't! It's been an awesome podcast so far, super educational for a new designer like myself. The podcast's community has also been really supportive and have given me lots of ideas worth exploring in my own projects. I'm stoked to give you the chance to listen to this episode while I keep gearing up for the future of Wait, Roll That Again! this year. Stay tuned! ***On the season 3 premiere, I'm joined by John Harper, designer of many games featured on past episodes of Dice Exploder including Blades in the Dark, Lasers & Feelings, and Agon 2e.John brought in the Psi*Run risk sheet, a fairly complex dice resolution mechanic, known generically as Otherkind Dice. The risk sheet is such an elegant piece of design, packing essentially a whole game onto a single sheet of paper, and being so clear in both how it works and how you might tear it apart for your own ends. If you're a new designer, or even just looking to get back in touch with the basics, John and I agree that hacking this thing is a great place to look.It's good to be back.Further Reading:Psi*Run's risk sheetVincent Baker's original 2005 post on Otherkind DiceVincent's 2022 Otherkind Dice SRDPsi*RunAnnaliseSocialsJohn's website, onesevendesign.com, and itch page.Sam on Bluesky and itch.The Dice Exploder blog is at diceexploder.comOur logo was designed by sporgory, our theme song is Sunset Bridge by Purely Grey, and our ad music is Lily Pads by my boi Travis Tessmer.Join the Dice Exploder Discord to talk about the show!For the bonus articles, follow Wait, Roll That Again on substack! https://waitrollthatagain.substack.comSocials Instagram: @WaitRollThatAgain Twitter: @WaitRollThatAgnThis Podcast is made in partnership with Salient Podcasts.

When someone says "the economy is doing well"—what does that even mean? Like, for workers, for employers, for the country as a whole? According to what calculation? How do you put a number on it?The world of economics is filled with all sorts of "measuring sticks." GDP. Inflation. Unemployment. Consumer sentiment. Over time, all kinds of government agencies, universities and private companies have come up with different ways to measure facets of the economy. These measures factor into all kinds of huge decisions—things like government policy, business strategies, maybe even your personal career choices or investments.On today's show, we're going to lift the curtain on two of these yardsticks. We are going to meet the people tasked with sticking a number on two huge measures of our economic well being: the official U.S. government inflation report and the monthly unemployment and jobs numbers. Come along and see how the measures get made.This episode was hosted by Darian Woods, Stacey Vanek Smith, and Wailin Wong. It was produced by Julia Ritchey and Jess Kung with help from James Sneed.

It's just a masterpiece of design.
