We have a VERY special guest on the show today. Big welcome to Sean Velasco, studio head at Yacht Club Games. Sean's here to talk about everything that's happened since the launch of Mina the Hollower and share what in store for Yacht Club Games. We've been friends with Sean for over 10 years, ever since we first played Shovel Knight on the Wii U so this was an incredible reunion. Also in this episode, we react to all these actors that were leaked for The Legend of Zelda movie. Does this mean a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct is coming, and soon? We also react to Nintendo's most recent financials. We're also playing some great new games including Final Fantasy 14 and The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered! All this and much more is coming right up. 0:00 - Here we go!9:26 - Mina and Hollower and the future of Yacht Club Games1:19:32 - News news news 1:43:50 - Games we're playingPatreon shout-outs- All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Thank you Super Stars: Eigenverse, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O'Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Andrew Youhas, krashuri, Master Discord, Travis Torline, MSMPokeGamer, RBurns, KITT 10K, Nafon Clover, TheSharkAmongMen, RainTech, KissMyFlapjack, Paul Gale Network, Cameron, Catsually Nerdy, Xudeverf, David Williams - Konke Gamers, David, Fen O'Connor, Khalifa al SuwaidiFollow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrystahttps://twitter.com/kitandkrystahttps://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrystahttps://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social-Kit & Krysta

How many ways can you die in a mechanic simulator? What year did the Wii and PS3 actually come out? And what's the best way to deal with fascism? These questions and many more might be answered on this jam packed episode of the Maximum Utcast! Later, Jonathan is joined by Sean Velasco, Alec Faulkner, and Nick Wozniak of Yacht Club Games to talk about what might be in store for their company now that Mina the Hollower has released (you can watch the video for that here: https://youtu.be/IalSAVwXsn0 ). And then somehow we conclude our videogames show with ~20 mins of comic book chat, mostly centered around Spider-Man and his newest movie (extremely minimal spoilers for the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film, but maximum spoilers for like 30 or 40 years of Spider-Man comics).0:00:00 - The Many Ways to Die of Intense Relaxation in My Summer Car0:09:13 - 2017, the Year of the Wii and PS30:12:55 - For the Record, We're Anti-Master-D0:25:22 - Devolver's Going Indie (Again)0:33:09 - What's Next for Yacht Club Games After Mina the Hollower?0:54:57 - Germs On the Mind1:03:50 - Game Devs Really Took Chances with the PS11:06:43 - Spider-Man 4eva1:10:27 - Spider-Man Free Play Chat1:16:15 - I Feel So Much for Henchmen1:19:48 - The Tick was Great1:25:11 - Wrap Up/Plugs/Thanks Patrons!Learn about Yacht Club Games on their website: https://www.yachtclubgames.com/Read the longer interview with Yacht Club Games eventually in an upcoming issue of Lock On: https://www.lostincult.co.uk/lockonSubscribe to the print magazine Nintendo Force: https://www.nintendoforcemagazine.com/Read the written website of this show: https://maxutmost.com/Follow Jonathan Holmes on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tronknotts.bsky.socialFollow Zoey on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialFollow the podcast on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ttwav.bsky.socialFollow Daniel on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/douibyorthst.bsky.socialSupport Zoey's Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/adzukenSupport the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ttwav

Die Indie-Entwickler Daniel Dorner und Ronny Deicke analysieren gemeinsam die erste Stunde des Action-Adventure Mina the Hollower, entwickelt von Yacht Club Games.

In jeder Folge spielen die beiden den Anfang eines Videospiels und analysieren es direkt aus der Perspektive von Game Devel­opern. Welche Designentscheidungen tragen – und welche nicht? Ob du selbst Spiele entwickelst oder einfach tiefer verstehen willst, wie Games eigentlich gemacht werden: Setz die Entwickler-Brille auf und begleite Daniel und Ronny bei ihrer ersten Stunde.

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  There's only two of us in the house this week, but Kevin & John still have plenty of gaming goodies to discuss, so let's get right into it... We get things started off with a recap of the 5th Annual Pursuing Pixels James Jam Game Gam, and give a few quick shoutouts to some of our favorite entries this time around!

How’s everyone holding up? You know, with uhhh, all the recent news pouring in from Sony regarding their upcoming departure from physical media and Microsoft’s uhhh, well, departure from reality after slaughtering over 1,600 jobs, with more to cut on the way, in the same week they shared the goal to service over a billion players… Shit sucks, yeah, but there’s still hope to take stock in, like the steadily growing unionization across various game development and media jobs in the industry, and the rapid progression that indie games are making across the video game marketplace, large and small—there really are things to still take joy in! Aside from that, George, Ed, and new friend and guest on this week’s episode, Jake of the Press B to Cancel Podcast, also share their own coping mechanisms to the current state of games, like the never-ending journey to tackle their giant libraries of video games, and the thousands of more retro games they have yet to play thanks to the new translation and emulation efforts being fostered by the gaming enthusiast community at large! So, aside from the news, the panel for this episode of Press Pause Radio have also played an ass-load of games that they want to talk about, like Star Fox (2026), Star Fox 64, Magic: The Gathering-Foundations, 007 First Light, Forza Horizons 6, The Adventure of Little Ralph, Pokémon GO Fest 2026, Mina the Hollower, Mega Man 2, Veritas Tales: Witch of the Dark Castle, and much more! So gird your bits and grab your favorite guilty pleasure as Press Pause Radio leads you on a 2-hour-ish journey built with some hope, cope, and a little (or a lot) of edibles to champion you on this hot summer day!

The humid days of summer does not stop Remap Radio. Join Chia, Janet, Rob, and Patrick as they further talk through Xbox's generational reset, PlayStation's announcement that it's ditching discs, some initial thoughts on the Steam Machine, deck TV feelings, and more. We've got plenty of game talk, too, including beating Mina the Hollower, crashing out in Marathon, and trying to find a better way to organize the video games you should be playing—even if by shame.Links: Id Layoffs, Obsidian Layoffs, Sony Winding Down Physical Game Production, ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'Discussed:00:00 - Intro12:48 - Steam Machine28:54 - The Xbox Layoffs hit Obsidian and ID 50:39 - Sony Stops Making Physical Games 1:25:38 - ESA Calls Private Minecraft Servers Illegal 1:31:02 - Mina the Hollower 1:46:30 - Janet's New Game System 2:03:16 - Marathon 2:10:19 - Idols of Ash 2:20:14 - Question Bucket See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The gang are all back together at last after our various summer hols, and we're happy to welcome the return of Liam after his absence from our last episode. Naturally, our first order of business is to get him all caught up on what he missed during the mid-year check-in, so we begin with a quick-fire chat that takes in Mina the Hollower, El Paso Elsewhere 2, Denshattack!, Truck-kun is Supporting Me from Another World?!, The Mermaid Mask, and – not indie, but unignorable given who we're talking about – Resident Evil Veronica. Then it's onto the main topic of this episode and, unbelievably, despite being co-created and co-hosted by a lifelong obsessive Simmer, it's taken Indieventure almost three years to put together an episode dedicated to the life sim genre. However, the early access launch of Paralives a few weeks back has given Rebecca the excuse she's always needed to go off at length about her excruciatingly detailed knowledge of life sims, how they work, how they're made, and how the genre has developed and adapted to the changing gaming landscape over the past quarter-century. Many thanks to Liam, Rachel, and you, our lovely listeners for indulging this semi-interactive TED talk, and be sure to check out the Sims Community interview quoted in this episode! Naturally you can expect some illegal AAA chat here too as it's more or less impossible to discuss Paralives in context without regularly referring back to The Sims franchise as well as InZoi; but don't worry, we also circle back to perennial Indieventure favourite and underappreciated indie life sim Tiny Life while we're at it. There might even be a Stardew Valley cameo in there somewhere, too. And like a cooling dip in the pool during Britain's third consecutive heatwave, we round off with our latest hyperfixations. One of Rachel's favourite manga series – The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All – is getting an anime adaptation early next year soundtracked by Nirvana, so there's plenty to get excited about there already even if we're six months away from seeing the thing itself. Liam has broken a bit of a dry spell in his gaming enthusiasm by getting very, very invested in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

I headed to a sleepy coastal town on Lake Michigan to hang out with some of the crew from the Fix Your Heart or Die podcast and along the way we figured we might as well get some content on the books. For the first time ever, 2 guests in-studio gathered together to talk Mina the Hollower and StarFox '26 (along with some guesses regarding the future release of Ocarina of Time '26). The mostly free form chat is a sort of "warts and all" podcast with a few disruptions from Waldo the cat, and plenty of technical glitches you only get from recording locally, but it was cool to get face to face on the topic of video games. After this chat, I got the chance to play StarFox '26 and my thoughts are "this sure is StarFox 64 with a coat of paint!" But for more in depth analysis, you'll have to listen to this episode.0:00:00 - Welcome Back to the Show, Shy Fox and Marcy0:05:40 - What Are You Playing?

We're coming off of our Summer Game Fest-related high, toting a bunch of news from publisher-driven events that occurred after we published our last episode. For starters, the Xbox Showcase... showcased... 28 games in total, of which 24 are coming to PlayStation 5, including State of Decay 3, Senua, and Spyro: A Realm Beyond (not to mention release dates for Halo: Combat Evolved and Fable). But Xbox's peculiar, wishy-washy, and inconsistent behavior likewise makes us wonder what the future might hold for Microsoft releases on Sony's hardware, especially because Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution -- both internally slated to migrate to PlayStation 5 until very recently -- won't appear at all. Meanwhile, Nintendo's newest Direct also had some interesting fodder, including a surprise look at Kingdom Hearts IV, a brand new 2D-HD game in the form of Final Fantasy Resonance, and more. Other news this week revolves around Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6, a new Crazy Taxi adventure in the form of World Tour, a promising magic shooter called Magicians: The Devil's Deal, a fall release date for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, and extremely strong sales figures for Yacht Club's Mina the Hollower. We wrap things up (as always) with listener inquiries! Now that everything has settled, what are our three most-anticipated games, respectively? Should Sony bite the bullet and greenlight Destiny 3? Where's Naughty Dog hiding? Is Colin falling prey to Big Plumber and Big Sewer propaganda by refusing to flush wipes?

What a week! Our jam-packed episode of Sacred Symbols covers all of the announcements from both Sony's State of Play presentation, as well as Geoff Keighley's Summer Games Fest showcase. And let's just say, there's a ton to get through. State of Play's 25 game roster included a fresh, expanded look at Wolverine, the reveal of Firesprite's long-rumored Until Dawn 2, and the confirmation of a brand new God of War game in the form of Laufey (plus a ton of third-party stuff, including Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, Phantom Blade 0, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and more). Geoff's show went even harder, with a full 53 games displayed, including the culmination of the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga in the form of Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, the always-assumed Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake en route in 2027, two new Cuphead titles, the Stellar Blade sequel Blood Rain, and so on. We have other news this week, too -- MMORPG Horizon: Steel Frontiers has been delayed, California's legislature is going after developers and publishers who delist games, Fable has been delayed until next year, and so on -- but really, the meat of the show is all about these E3-like pressers. Even the questions at the end! So buckle up for one long episode of Sacred Symbols.
