Sensible Soccer erschien 1992 für den Amiga und löste, vor allem in Großbritannien, einen richtigen Hype aus - es erschienen schnell weitere Teile und die Serie wurde zum Millionen-Seller. Dahinter steht, der Name sagt es, das englische Entwicklerstudio Sensible Software, das, vor allem zur 8-Bit-Zeit eine ganze Reihe veritabler Hits hinlegte.

Everything starts somewhere, and when the games industry began to form in the UK, back in the '80s, Gary Penn - my guest on the One-to-one podcast today - was there. A young adult passionate about games, he was propelled to micro-stardom, as he puts it, when he won a competition to find Britain's best gamer and ended up writing for Zzap!64 magazine. It was a magazine that changed the face of games journalism, injecting passion and charisma and a sense of fun.   After Zzap!64, Penn would go on to win awards for The One magazine, before leaving editorial and side-stepping into consulting and ultimately, producing games. And it's then that he would cross paths with the most famous game series of all: Grand Theft Auto. Except, it wasn't called GTA at the time and it wasn't very good. In fact, Race n' Chase as it was known then, was "awful", according to Penn. But fate - and Penn - ensured the game wouldn't be cancelled and GTA would be released, paving the way for the series to become the cultural phenomenon it is today.   But by the time GTA3 was in development, Penn had had enough. He had severely burnt out and didn't want to work around the clock any more. So, along with some other DMA Design people, he would make a new studio called Denki to create very different kinds of games. Hundreds of these would be interactive TV games, but as time moved on, the studio ditched those in favour of games like Quarrel, which we loved on Eurogamer - a mash up of Risk and Scrabble.   Then, in 2019, the studio found success with Autonauts, a chill game about creating and managing a settlement by automating everything in it. It's that game Denki is building on now with the release of Autonauts vs Piratebots this week - Thursday, 28th July. That game adds, among many other things, an eye-patched, peg-legged, parrot-toting threat to the game, pirates, which you will have to defend your settlement against.   Support Eurogamer here: https://www.eurogamer.net/subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.

Another week ends, meaning it's time for another Weekly, the quick-talking podcast where we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. Remember, premium supporters of Eurogamer get episodes on Friday whereas everyone else listens from Monday. Find out more here: https://www.eurogamer.net/subscribe   Today on Weekly, Martin Robinson dives into Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a game he's just rated Essential and spent the last month playing. What's so good about it? And can I play it if I haven't played the others? We hear it from the horse's mouth. (Note: Martin is not actually a horse.)   Christian Donlan, meanwhile, takes us into the world of Rollderdrome, which looks to be another banger from London-based OlliOlli developer Roll7 - how does it do it? This game is a rollerskates shooter where you need to pull off tricks to power your combat. Donlan is very into it.    He's also quite into GTA Online, which he dipped into yesterday to try the new Paper Trail missions.   Also: I recall what it was like meeting Zzap!64 and GTA legend Gary Penn, who has some incredible stories to tell; and I give my thoughts on Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2, which was re-released with some improvements this week. We also talk Grand Theft Auto 6, following the Bloomberg/Schrier exposé earlier this week; and about Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the remake of which has been postponed, seemingly, forever.   All that plus all of the other features, news and videos from around the site that caught my eye this week. This was Weekly and we'll see you next week.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

With limited resources and many moving parts, it's hard to justify the expense of an additional full-time employee.  However, at some point, it becomes beneficial to have fractional leaders come in and handle key aspects of the business. So, when is the right time for eCommerce brands to bring in experienced or interim leaders? How can eCommerce brands work cross-functionally to increase efficiency? In this episode of The Fit Growth Machine Podcast, Brian Roisentul interviews Gary Penn, an eCommerce Practice Consultant with Chameleon Collective, about his experiences with eCommerce leadership, growth, and zero-party data. Gary explains the use of zero-party and third-party data, the best communication practices among teams and departments, the benefits of bringing interim leaders into your business, and how to inspire individuals to think bigger.

After ten years of hosting One Life Left it seems that Ste thinks it’s time for an image change and he’s now going to become the bad boy of videogames. Not content with skinny dipping last week in Finland, we learnt about how he broke the rules in his youth. It’s a shocking revelation that we need to warn you about here so that it doesn’t offend you too much. We were happy to finally be able to put a monetary value on how much an appearance on One Life Left will bring you, thanks to Gary Penn being our SSSG last week. Dan Marshall will be kick(ball)ing himself about how much he’s missing out due to his dodgy internet connection. We also planned a trip to Bury, found out that Radiohead are trolling us and Ann found out what the lads do behind her back when the news is on. Come to Married-oke this Friday - the Bad Boy won’t be there but it will still be fun! Cheerio!

(Who, who, who, who?) There’s no Ste this week. After literally getting out of his sick bed to dj at Ann’s wedding celebration he then literally went back to his sick bed. This meant that Simon was in charge of the studio so there could be problem with the wrong jingles being played. Luckily our Super-Special Guest that we’d booked ages ago wouldn’t let us down right? We activated the ESSSG (Emergency Skype Super-Special Guest) beacon and Denki’s Gary Penn answered the call. He had a haircut especially for the show but it would also get an outing for his big interview with Jonathan Smith this week’s Develop Conference. Denki had been working on Crackdown 3, but have recently been taking the opportunity to test a few new game ideas out. One of which has come to fruition as Autonauts, which you can download for free on itch.io. We also spoke to Gary about working on magazines (which involved the Mario coin sound needing to be used), how making games helps you learn about ropes and which pubs he went to in Bath. There was also confirmation on the official OLL Style Guide pronunciation of itch.io and Ann got married! And it was Engineer Week this week at Resonance FM. Thanks to our excellent engineers, we literally couldn’t do the show without you. Cheerio! Team OLL x Links: https://denki.itch.io/autonauts https://twitter.com/garypenn Tracklist: 1.
