You've entered a space between spaces, where your restless dreams dance colorful threads upon your mind's ethereal loom. Connection and expression is what has been woven onto the tapestry. A tether, wrapped taut around the fading construct of what once was. I had a buddy named Vinny. He could stuff an entire pizza in his mouth. All without drugs.(00:00) Intro(14:46) Housekeeping(22:29) State of the Nintendo Music Address(1:00:58) Hypnospace Outlaw(2:29:52) YouTube Comment Oversharing Corner(2:37:02) Voicemails(2:47:16) Haikus & outro✉️ Send email to bitharmonypod@gmail.com

Is Civilization from Avalon Hill and Gibsons Games still able to command 10 hours of your attention more than 40 years after its initial release? Can The Roottrees are Dead outdo Hypnospace Outlaw at Internet nostalgia and Return of the Obra Dinn at amateur sleuthing? Blending poker and heists, do we have a good enough hand to win The Gang? Are Ritz crisps? You have questions, and boy, do we have answers. All that, and a bag of cola, on Ep217. 00:00 - Putting on the Ritz 05:54 - Civilization 30:28 - The Roottrees are Dead 40:57 - The Gang On this episode were Dan (@ThisDanFrost), Kris (@DigitalStrider), Peter (@XeroXeroXero), and Sam (@MrSamTurner). Our Spotify Playlist brings together lots of great thematic music inspired by the stuff we talk about. Links to where you can find us - StayingInPodcast.com Note: sometimes we'll have been sent a review copy of the thing we're talking about on the podcast. It doesn't skew how we think about that thing, and we don't receive compensation for anything we discuss, but we thought you might like to know this is the case.

Music is undeniably a huge part of what makes video games special, both individually and on an industry-wide level. Not only is no gaming award show complete without a gong for the year's best soundtrack, but even the Proms have started acknowledging that video game scores have come a long way since the 8-bit days (without throwing any shade on chiptune, a legitimate genre in and of itself with some stone-cold classics). That's probably why, from huge AAAs to smaller indies, music can account for a significant chunk of any game's budget — and it's definitely worth the investment. For this episode, the Indieventure trio have pooled our vinyl collection to talk about some of our personal favourite indie game music highlights. I know you guys say you love long show notes but there's seriously no way I'm going to be able to list every track we talk about here — which is why we've put together [a YouTube playlist] that should cover everything instead! A quick overview, though, sees us talking about the music from games including Balatro, Bombrush Cyberfunk, Braid, Celeste, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Dear Esther, Death's Door, Dicey Dungeons, Disco Elysium, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Fields of Mistria, Firewatch, Hades, Hades II, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hollow Knight, Hotline Miami, Hypnospace Outlaw, Journey, Kentucky Route Zero, Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp, Minecraft, No Straight Roads, Paradise Killer, Pizza Tower, Pyre, Return of the Obra Dinn, Stardew Valley, A Tower Full of Cats, Trombone Champ, Undertale, Unravel, and We Happy Few. If you'd like to hear every track we discuss in this episode in its entirety, we've added them all to a convenient YouTube playlist that you can find here. During the course of this chat we also promise you a couple of specific links, so go here for Bombrush Cyberfunk soundtrack memes, and here for one of the Ace Attorney x Danganronpa musical mashup channels on YouTube that Rebecca (and now Rachel too) is so very fond of.   Finally, as ever, are our current hyperfixations! Rebecca has discovered an accidentally awesome double-bill of horror novels with a timely social message in Chuck Tingle's Bury Your Gays and Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group; Liam's been having a whimsical time in recently-released indie platformer The Plucky Squire; and Rachel is having a moment with girly pop in general, and Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter in particular, thanks to the recent VMAs award show.   Our music, meanwhile, was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

We are in for a treat in this episode of The Corner of Story and Game as we are graced by TWO brilliant writers/designers! Xalavier Nelson Jr. and Winter Mullenix stop by to explore the vital topic of inclusion and diversity as it applies to the craft of storytelling. It is a topic that I have wanted to create some space to explore for quite awhile now, and I am extremely honoured that these two masters of their craft were gracious enough to share their thoughts and experiences with me. With dozens of games under his belt, Xalavier is renowned for titles like "Hypnospace Outlaw,” “Stranger Things VR,” and "An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs." Winter is an experienced writer and narrative designer with a whole swath of credentials, including over four years as Senior Narrative Designer at Cryptic Studios, working on the Neverwinter MMO.

Buckle in for an in-depth, thought-provoking chat with one of gaming's most prolific new creators, Xalavier Nelson Jr! Whether it's for his journalism at Kotaku, his writing for Hypnospace Outlaw, or his own game development ventures like El Paso, Elsewhere, you have definitely seen Xalavier's work before. Topics discussed include the context of how games are made, what devs look for in voice acting auditions, and why game controllers are all built the same now (pour one out for the Xbox Duke).

In Episode 8 of Indieventure, we re-introduce an old favourite concept of ours from days gone by: the Indieventure Vault, an eclectic mind-palace of our own construction where we store the very best indie games, blending personal favourites with undeniable classics. Previous inductees — which we take the time to re-induct, since this Vault is completely legally distinct from any other indie game Vaults you might be thinking about — are two all-time favourite indie games from each of us. Rebecca carefully places Monster Prom and Firewatch on a commemorative shelf, Rachel chucks Kentucky Route Zero and Return of the Obra Dinn in the same vague direction, and Liam drop-kicks Hypnospace Outlaw and Paradise Killer into a hole in the ground, but like, respectfully. Everyone's very on-form. Then it's time to introduce some new games to the collection, and this time we've each selected one indie game that we all feel is just far too important to omit. For Liam, that's just got to be Stardew Valley; Rachel makes a compelling case for the enduring appeal of Disco Elysium; and Rebecca uses science (after a fashion) to conclude that Hades really needs to be there too. And, not least of all because 10 vaulted games is a nice round number to start off with, we also put Dredge on a special shelf of its own to indicate that it was our very first Indieventure Game of the Year in 2023. Hyperfixations this week see Rachel still obsessed with The Traitors: Series 2, Rebecca still obsessed with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, and Liam reading Masters of Doom by David Kushner like a proper adult.

Donut County is an idyllic place for fans of the outdoors. It's also a love letter to Los Angeles with many animal residents, but where have they all gone? As we grow our holes and complete our Trashopedias, we realize there's perhaps something... deeper... going on. An obliviously evil raccoon must answer for his actions, but priorities come first: he's earned enough points for a quadcopter drone.

When Xalavier Nelson Jr. made his first game, he meant for it to be his farewell to the industry after years as a young, enthusiastic video-game journalist. Instead, he caught the gamedev bug, founded his own studio, and has been on more or less the same path ever since. He's worked on projects like We Are the Caretakers, Hypnospace Outlaw, Skatebird, An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, Sunshine Shuffle, and a Stranger Things VR title. His latest, El Paso, Elsewhere, launches Tuesday, September 26th, on Steam and Xbox. Get full access to The Endpoem Podcast at endpoem.substack.com/subscribe

Whoooo we're officially in the double-digits gang! We've somehow managed to make it to episode 10 of Indiescovery without going completely feral and wrecking the joint. I say that, but this week's episode is a little, shall we say, unhinged? Rebecca, Liam, and Rachel hadn't really had a proper chat all week so there's a lot of Friday energy and catching up, and the energy levels only increase when we start to talk about our main topic of this episode: Eurovision! And indie games, of course. Yes, it's a Eurovision-themed episode, and more specifically, which indie game characters we think would make the best Eurovision entries. We're looking for kooky, campy, gimmicky, vibrant, and super queer showstoppers. Oh and a good song would also help, too. But first, we kick off the pod with a chat about Disney World, as Rachel has just come back from a very fun but very tiring 10-day trip to Disney World Orlando. Then there's some very cursed Goofy chat, which we'll leave for you to listen to without spoilers. So which indie game characters do we think would make great Eurovision entries? Rebecca's first up with Monster Prom's Liam de Lioncourt, a hipster vampire with a love for eccentric music. Chuck a keytar in his hands and we think this topknot, suspender-wearing weirdo would go down a treat. Rachel and Rebecca then both agree on Junebug's performance from Kentucky Route Zero, is a mesmerising ballad that would knock the party hat off anyone in the audience. Liam's choice is the Chowder Man from Hypnospace Outlaw, a synth-rock entry whose major sweaty dad vibes would win the hearts of Europe. We also chuck some others into the mix including Lady Love Dies from Paradise Killer with her absolute banger of a track ‘Paradise (Stay Forever)', the Hades cast giving a super bi-sexual rock song in the same vein as Måneskin, any of Red's songs from Transistor, a drag queen pop anthem from Undertale's Mettaton, and (Liam's exact words) a yassified Harry Du Bois from Disco Elysium, which would be immense. There's a quick chat about what a Eurovision game adaptation world look like, be it a party game, visual novel, something like Just Sing, or a new Danganronpa game where each act gets a brutal execution. We also get back onto Disney again and look up the internet's top 10 hottest Disney characters, so enjoy that! We end the pod with our current hyperfixations. Rachel's is Eurovision (surprise surprise) and she's going all in this year with scorecards, Reddit threads, Twitter discourse and more. Rebecca's first pick is the Murder, She Wrote series from PushingUpRoses, a YouTube series she gave a shout-out to last episode, and the very good Ace Attorney podcast Turnabout Breakdown by Jay Castello and Diego Nicolás Argüello. Liam's first is murder mystery Grave Expectations by RPS' very own Alice Bell (whooo!) and his second is sci-fi novel Frontier by Grace Curtis. Indiescovery is a podcast by Rock Paper Shotgun.

It's episode five of Indiescovery and we'd like our listeners to get to know us a little better, so this week we've picked our ultimate favourite indie games and then had a big old natter about them. Talking about all our favourite games would take us into 3023, so we've kept it to two games per person, which actually wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. To kick off the episode, we introduce the ✨Indiescovery Vault✨ a magical place locked behind a huge, golden door. It's a wonderful place where only the most prestigious indie games may go as selected by the Indiescovery team. The six games we've chosen for this episode will have a coveted place in the vault, but more will be added as the podcast goes on. This is the first of many episodes where we chat about our favourite indie games, so the vault will be opened again in future episodes. The first of our picks is Paradise Killer. Liam chose this murder mystery about gods and demons set on a tropical island dripping in vaporwave aesthetics. Even though she's not played it, Paradise Killer is very much a Rebecca game (it's basically a match made in indie game heaven) so Liam and Rebecca will keep poking her until she plays it. The second game is Rebecca's pick, Monster Prom, a game that introduced her to both the indie gaming scene and visual novels. This one is an Indiescovery contender for a standalone episode, one were we all jump into multiplayer for a few rounds then talk about it. If that format is something you'd be interested in for future episodes then tell us by leaving a comment! A game that sits snuggly in its number one spot on the RPS top 100, Return Of The Obra Dinn sails gracefully into our picks, nominated by Rachel. Turns out the RPS treehouse really like mystery games, so this detective game about a lost ghost ship from the 1800s was destined to be in the vault at some point. Let's put it this way: any game that forces you to learn the difference between a gunner, purser, helmsman, and bosun (and we're not even mad about it) is worth playing. We've time travelled back in time with Liam's second pick, Hypnospace Outlaw. This is a game we've chatted about on the podcast before, but it bears repeating: Hypnospace Outlaw is awesome. Set during the wild heyday of the online world, this ‘90s internet simulator is a gem of a game, so into the pit it goes (Yes, we have a pit in our vault. It was requested by Liam. It's basically Liam's pit. Blame Liam.). Rebecca's next pick is Firewatch, and wow did she almost have Liam and Rachel in tears talking about it. The feels were out when we were chatting about this one, as we get into the game's brilliant characters, lovely visuals, and heart warming themes. We're not crying, you are. The last of our six games is Kentucky Route Zero, which was Rachel's pick. She really loves this game, and when choosing her two games for this episode she didn't hesitate in choosing KRZ. A magical realist adventure, this American road trip follows a group of drifters as they search for an ethereal highway that runs through an underground cave system beneath Kentucky. It's a little weird, but also perfect (in our humble opinion). The squad then quickly list off other indies that crossed our minds when choosing our six (some of which we'll definitely get into in future eps) and then we dive into our hyperfixations. Rachel's been watching hours and hours of the RPG show Dimension 20, Liam has been watching Brutalmoose's calming mall and microwave meal reviews, and Rebecca introduced us to mushroom ketchup, which sounds amazing?? Did you know that mushroom ketchup existed? Every day is a school day, apparently. Indiescovery is a podcast by Rock Paper Shotgun.

Welcome to the Utopia District Podcast! Explore with us the numerous facets of the internet that we have forgotten over time. Remember the day when you could customise your desktop and use special media players? We talk about how these things are now just distant memories and how the internet has transformed. Individuality has been lost in the corporate playground that is the internet. We talk about how businesses have dominated the internet and its current position. What does this entail for the erosion of our individuality and our online identities? Do you recall the earlier versions of sites like MySpace? We think back on these previous websites and how they changed through time. But what about the future and development of online art? We talk about where the NFT art is at in 2023. What does the term "vaporwave" signify to you? What is your interpretation of it? We examine the various ways that vaporwave has been interpreted as well as how the internet has embraced it as a subculture. We also talk about the attractiveness of vaporwave and why people feel such a strong connection to it. Finally, we talk about the disappointing situation of not being able to communicate your vaporwave experience. Although it might be difficult to put your ideas and feelings regarding this subculture into words, we make an effort to do so here.

This week on The Free Cheese, SquisherZ are really cool. Go to sleep and browse the internet while we patrol your nightmares. We revisit our 2019 Out of Time Award winner, finally giving this game the attention it deserves.

Happy Halloween! Ben and Tao wallow in corporate servitude and debt until unionisation galvanises them to join the intergalactic picket line in zen, outer space deconstruction simulator, Hardspace Shipbreaker. In addition to the usual breakdown of the game's story and gameplay mechanics, the duo get into gaming loops, micro objectives and puzzles, corporate megalomania and mandatory agreement to terms and conditions, the role of banter and companionship in games, dystopian retro futurism, and if gaming companies should use unsigned musicians for their soundtracks to foster more variety and cultivate new talent. Major story spoilers towards the end of the pod, but nothing detrimental to gameplay.Content Warning: PEGI 12. Institutional oppression, bosses from hell, occasionally explicit cursing.Clarifications:* All music for Hardspace Shipbreaker was composed by Blackbird Interactive, specifically Jono Grant, Traz Dimji, Ben McCullough, Philip J Bennett* Hardspace Shipbreaker was released on 16 June 2020* Tao was right about the navigation system in Myst. It's marginally different, but certainly comparable: * While digging out the South Park ‘terms and conditions' audio, I found this track by Seb Lowe which I think is worth sharing. Seems like a talented young guy: * According to the Nintendo product page, there are actually 500 different products in Wilmot's Warehouse* Owen Wilson says ‘Wow' compilation is, bizarrely, worth watching in full. It's absurd: * Vincent D'Onofrio, who acted Edgar in Men in Black (1997) is not the voice of Hal Rhodes. That honour goes to Adam Nurada.* ‘Welcome to Night Vale' is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events. Check out their website here: https://www.welcometonightvale.com/* Hypnospace Outlaw was our second ever episode and is available here. I like to think we've come a long way: Audio extracts:* Futurama theme* Half Life 2* Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place from Kid A* 2001 A Space Odyssey* Men in Black - Farmer Edgar* Chuck Brodsky - Bill & Annie in full.

Jared sits down with Jay Tholen, the developer of "Dropsy," and "Hypnospace Outlaw," to talk about the creative processes and personal journey that led to some of the most eccentric indie games ever made.Featuring "The Unmistakable Scent of Clown Breath" by Chris Schlarb

Welcome back! This month we're joined by Abnormal Mapping's own Em to talk about Hypnospace Outlaw! It's an charming little ting. Pretty cute stuff. We also talk about Fate, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, half the Castlevania franchise, & more!

It's gaming season as we dip into a sequel to one of the most classic games of the 90s and find that maybe lighting truly does strike twice. On top of that, a dozen other games played between us, and a bunch of other fun besides including which PlayStation is canonically the Best Looking. The answer will not surprise you in the slightest.

Please take a moment to fill out our listener survey! Jay Tholen is not very comfortable with success. Jay Tholen is the creator of Dropsy, HypnoSpace Outlaw, and the upcoming Dreamsettler.  Here's some stuff we talked about: Our Feelings Doom makes Jay feel relaxed. Doom (2016) makes Jay feel out of control. The Giant Bomb "SpeedTree" video.

 A publisher perspective: we haven't had one of those before, and it's an area of pivotal importance in games people often have misconceptions about. How does it all work, from spotting a game to signing it, to marshalling it out of the door? And whose side are publishers on?   My guest today started their own label five years ago in the hope of doing things differently - and things have gone very well. Today, No More Robots employs 13 people and is responsible for notable small-team games like Hypnospace Outlaw, Descenders, Not Tonight, and Yes, Your Grace.   The recently-announced Hypnospace Outlaws spiritual sequel Dreamsettler apparently became one of the company's most Wishlisted games. Not bad for a project Rose apparently suggested because he wanted more Hypnospace music.   But once upon a time, it was just Rose. Rose taking a punt on a Dutch downhill biking game behind closed doors at Gamescom 2017 - and apparently Descenders looked very different then. But his keen eye has helped build a great portfolio since then and even allowed the company to branch into internal game development. He did once pass on Overcooked, though, because he didn't think local co-op would take off again, so you know, it hasn't always gone to plan.

It's a relaxed downtempo episode this week with Solon, John and Maverick. This week we discuss games that change your walk like AI: The Somnium Files, which Maverick is working his way through trying desperately not to be spoilt by the rest of the crew. Solon has been playing the "bayoupunk" adventure game Norco with extremely prescient social commentary, and taking a big ol' bite of a Kirby pie! Remedy is remaking Max Payne 1 and 2, the Hypnospace Outlaw devs are working on a new game inspired by the 2000s internet, and an FPS, Monkey Island is back with its original crew, and Pac-Man's home life is falling apart!

I discuss with game designer/writer Xalavier Nelson Jr. the beauty of living in the brainspace of a different world while playing a game, the importance of "choices matter" along with consequences and the way the games we play as kid shape our roles and work as adults.

Now that releases are slowing down, we're taking a look at some smaller games this week like the Tribeca-winning Norco, Moss: Book II, and the Kaycee's Mod add-on for Inscryption, plus the no-really-for-real death of E3, the return of Return to Monkey Island, MODOK thoughts, feet in VR headsets, Vinny's pilot aspirations, and more!

For this episode, The Gateway will explore how to become part of the video game industry. Reportedly worth nearly 86 billion dollars, video games have become an essential part of our culture. Gone are the days of a pixel bouncing from side to side. Video games are exploring progressive and poignant issues within our society giving space to unique perspectives—while giving the player the opportunity to experience another's life. While video games continue to pursue innovative ideas, they present their philosophy in beautiful artistic visuals. Video games have captured our imagination for decades and this episode will try to understand the process of taking an idea and turning it into a viable video game.To help examine all the elements that make a video game good, The Gateway is proud to welcome Xalavier Nelson Jr.. Nelson Jr. is a BAFTA-nominated studio head, narrative director, and writer, with dozens of titles under his belt including Reigns: Be-yond, Hypnospace Outlaw, An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, and El Paso, Else-where. He also is making strides in a burgeoning storytelling career outside of games, with releases such as the cult hit comic Sherlock Holmes Hunts the Moth Man.

EL BASTINAZO PODCAST, donde José Manuel Fernández "Spidey", Jesús Relinque "Pedja" y Mauricio González "Súper Mauri" hablan de los ultimísimos videojuegos que han pasado por sus manos, mirando también, cómo no, al pasado. ¿Qué toca? No vamos a ser originales, así que, como marca la tendencia, os hablaremos de ELDEN RING. Para ello, tenemos la siempre genial presencia de nuestro loco de los "souls", el gran Iván Belló "Afro Percal", que nos contará al respecto del juegazo de moda que, esto es así, ni siquiera le deja dormir. Además, te diremos sobre GRID LEGENDS, HYPNOSPACE OUTLAW y del sorprendente RECORD OF LODOSS WAR: DEEDLIT IN WONDER LABYRINTH, un estupendo heredero del mítico Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Además, el carnavalesco Pedja viaja al pasado para hablarnos de LAS TRES LUCES DE GLAURUNG, todo un clásico de nuestros viejos ordenadores de 8 bits. Jugadoras, jugadores... ¡bienvenidos!

Me and Jay Tholen sit down for a nice chat about the good old days of the internet, how a sense of community inspired the overall design of Hypnospace Outlaw, how to make a prog rock title that might not be entirely terrible and religion in gaming.

This week I played Hypnospace Outlaw on Xbox One Developed by Tendershoot, ThatWhichIs Media & Michael Lasch and published by No More Robots. This was a nostalgic deep dive into the internet of the late nineties.

Tab is off gallivanting, so join Joey and special guest Ron as we discuss backlogs! How did ours start? How have we managed them? Will we ever be free of the endless cycle? No. No, we won't. But after talking about the news and what we've been playing, we walk through some of the most annoying and noteworthy games on our old and storied backlogs. Which of us has yet to play The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess? Is it Joey or Ron who has a bad habit of buying sequels to games that are already on their backlog? Could it be both? Just how many Silent Hill games can you miss before you can stop claiming you “love the series”? And will we be able to recruit Tab to help us finish Left 4 Dead 2?
