Podcast appearances and mentions of ian flood

Ian Flood shares how a late-night chess game with his then-flatmate and fellow architect Chris Prosser sparked the idea to design sets inspired by city skylines, with pieces shaped like famous landmarks. He discusses how they founded Skyline Chess and grew it into a thriving business, now featuring 12 cities and a growing portfolio of custom sets for developers, architects and corporate clients.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part of creating The Max Frequency Podcast was to restore all the episodes of Behind the Pixel, an interview show I did in 2017 for seven episodes. These will be mixed into this feed so that the show can live on podcast services once more. Below are the original show notes, with some light editing. You can check out the original posts here.

ARGcast goes to MomoCon! Robert has the pleasure to interview some big names in gaming including voice actors Troy Baker, Nolan North, and Richard Epcar, legendary game designer Warren Spector, and Shovel Knight programmer Ian Flood. It's a long one, but that just means more time to hear these amazing people. Before we jump into MomoCon, we get into some news including the announcement of new Pokemon games Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee. That's followed by talk over the new Fallout related news, and Sega officially revealing Team Sonic Racing in light of the Walmart leaks. After the MomoCon interviews, we get into more news on game composer Tommy Tallarico becoming president of Intellivision and spearheading a new console there. Meanwhile the Atari VCS officially hit Indiegogo to take preorders, so we give our take on what we expect with that. Could it be a success, or just another Ouya?

Although Yacht Club Games has a single game under their name, many of the members have a history of creating games under company WayForward Technologies combining modern game-making with retro game sensibilities and homage. We were lucky enough to steal some time from David D'Angelo and Ian Flood of Yacht Club Games to discuss Shovel Knight, the effects of YouTube as advertisement, using Kickstarter as a funding platform and thoughts about Shovel Knight related spin-off games!

Welcome to the club that's made for you and me: Connectivity! You sure are in for a treat this week. We've got three segments for you. First up, Neal and Zach discuss Donkey Kong Country 3D Returns as this episode's Game of the Week! It just became available as a Club Nintendo Platinum reward, but is it good enough to claim? Hopefully we can help you come to a solid conclusion. Then, Aaron chimes in with an interview with David D'Angelo and Ian Flood of Yacht Club Games about the supremely awesome Shovel Knight! It's only the best game ever, so this is sort of a big deal. Finally, Daan is back with another installment of his quiz show. I hope your brain is ready for this. Please send in your listener mail questions, you know we love them. You can submit them to us at connectivity@nintendoworldreport.com.
