In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Mac Reynolds, co-founder and CEO of Night Street Games and Night Street Records, and Matthew Berger, Game Director at Night Street Games. Together, they unpack the journey of building Last Flag — a zany 5v5 hero shooter with capture-the-flag at its heart and music embedded deep in its DNA. From a scrappy prototype built with an outsourced team to a 50+ person studio, they share lessons on pivoting engines, refining the core loop, and innovating within the oversaturated PC shooter market. They discuss how music shapes gameplay moments, creates immersion, and differentiates Last Flag from typical shooters — and in a first-ever moment at Naavik, we share exclusive music tracks straight from the game itself. The conversation also explores parallels between the business of music and gaming industries, what game devs can learn from music artists, and the realities of cutting through noise on Steam for a new IP.

Last week brought significant challenges for unregulated sweepstakes gaming in the US. Tune into iGaming Daily, brought to you by Optimove, as Managing Editor Jessica Welman and Media Manager Charlie Horner break down the latest wave of negative actions impacting sweepstakes operators and why suppliers should be very concerned.Discover how the New York legislature passed an anti-sweepstakes gaming bill, making it illegal to supply sweepstakes casino operators with operations in the state, including affiliates, marketing teams, and payment processors. This move forces suppliers to choose between regulated and unregulated markets and could have "significant ramifications".We also delve into Louisiana's complex situation, where Governor Jeff Landry vetoed an anti-sweepstakes bill, asserting existing laws are sufficient. However, the Louisiana Gaming Control Board (LGCB) subsequently sent out cease and desist letters to sweepstakes sites, demonstrating their enforcement capabilities.Learn about the ongoing challenges in Mississippi, where despite cease and desist orders, some operators have remained active, raising questions about regulators' sway. Plus, hear insights on how Mississippi's retail-only sports betting market affects offshore operators' decisions.Finally, we discuss the potentially "huge" development in California, where a bill largely replicating New York's supplier language is being proposed by a group of tribes, including CIGA. This could be a major blow to North American affiliates, whose "bread and butter" has recently become Texas, California, and Georgia sweeps.Hosts: Jessica Welman & Charlie HornerProducer: Anaya McDonaldEditor: James RossiGaming Daily is also now on TikTok.

On this episode, host David Taylor sits down with Dan Bunting, the former Studio Head of Treyarch and one of the key creative leaders behind the Call of Duty franchise. With over 18 years at Treyarch, Dan helped shape some of the most iconic moments in FPS history — from the introduction of Zombies mode in World at War to the rise of the Black Ops series.We explore how Call of Duty became the dominant FPS franchise, and how Treyarch carved out its own identity through bold design decisions, narrative risk-taking, and constant innovation. Dan shares behind-the-scenes stories from the early 2000s to the modern era, reflecting on the key audience insights, design shifts, and tech evolutions that influenced Treyarch's approach.We also dive into his transition from studio leadership to entrepreneurship and investing, his outlook on the next decade of Call of Duty, and what excites him most about the future of the gaming industry.We'd also like to thank Neon – a merchant of record with customizable webshops optimized for conversion – for making this episode possible!

BONUS: Since we had two main Crubcast episodes last week we're skipping one this week to keep our backlog up. Still, we didn't want to not release anything for you today, so have this audio version of when M and Nicco first watched the first Pokemon movie!Two of us who are far too familiar with Pokémon sat down two people who are far less familiar with Pokémon and made them watch the first movie. They came to us with many questions, most of which have no good answer. It made us question many things we thought we knew about this movie, and this franchise in general.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanKevin: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoldenBoltNicco: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl56kbl3tb-KiGEHT7MUGUgMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycool ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
