Join Alex, Kyle, Charles, and Eric as they take a look at some of the first big games of 2025's latter half, from Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to early impressions of Battlefield 6 through its open beta.There's also some details on the strange sports game Drag x Drive from Nintendo, the gorgeous blade-skater Sword of the Sea, the charming indie puzzler Is This Seat Taken?, and our reactions to Gamescom Opening Night Live.

From the summit of the Paramount mountain to the depths of Hollywood's biggest headlines, ITCAF is climbing higher than ever this week.The guys are diving straight into the Paramount/Skydance merger as David Ellison officially takes the reins, laying out a bold plan to restore the studio to its former glory. With Top Gun 3 soaring high on the priority list, and revivals of Star Trek, Transformers, and G.I. Joe on deck, Ellison's message is clear: great filmmakers make great movies, and theaters come first. And as long as Tom Cruise is in the mix, more high-octane blockbusters are guaranteed.But that's just the start! The Duffer Brothers could be bringing their storytelling power to Paramount, Cindy Holland is making her stance known: “Made-for-streaming movies are not a priority for me,” signaling a shift away from direct-to-streaming films, Taylor Sheridan, along with Paramount, is building a Texas-sized production empire, and Paramount Plus just locked a $7.7 billion UFC deal that will reshape fight nights forever. Add in a Scary Movie revival, The Running Man delay, and Wall Street going meme-stock wild with PSKY shares, and you've got one of the most game-changing mergers in years.Plus, we hit you with our Top 5 Films That Got Us Excited, a full box office recap, and the hottest movers on the IMDb Top Trenders list.It's big.

In der fünften Folge der FM4 Game Podcast-Sommerserie führen Robert Glashüttner und Rainer Sigl durch die letzten Jahre der 2000er, wo sich die Gameskultur weiter verästelt hat: Indies wurden relevanter, zahlreicher und kreativer, Social-Games haben auf Facebook Einzug gehalten, und auch die aufgeschlossene Kunstwelt hat Computerspiele für sich entdeckt. Das erste Iphone hat seine Markteinführung erlebt, der dazugehörige App-Store ein Jahr später. Man hat mit episodischen Adventure-Games und Neuauflagen von etwa "Pac-Man" in die Vergangenheit geblickt, aber mit dem Start der modernen Smartphone-Spielkultur auch mutig in die Zukunft geschaut.

Indie Game Movement - The podcast about the business and marketing of indie games.
Between making a great game and having the drive to do it, it's still only half the battle. Indie studios love chasing creativity, but often struggle to establish core business fundamentals that can turn passion into profit. That's why today we're going to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to stand out and succeed in games. From funding pitfalls to publishing strategies, we'll unpack the often-overlooked realities of running a successful studio, what founders often get wrong, and how to de-risk and shift toward smarter stainability Episode Shownotes Link:

Mainstream game development is at a crossroads—bloated budgets, safe bets, and sequel fatigue are threatening innovation. But the indie scene might just be the industry's best hope.

Hello, I'm the Ostrich that Indieventure commissions to write episode descriptions while Rebecca is on holiday. They pay me in small stones, which I swallow to grind up insects and plants in my gizzard because I don't have any teeth. That's a real ostrich fact, proving that I am indeed an ostrich. Stop EMAILING ME. On this episode of Indieventure (a podcast about indie games that has never mentioned ostriches once in its entire run, just FYI), the gang discuss their favourite indie games of 2025 so far. That's right, it's summer, and instead of running around sand dunes and flapping their big wings like, oh, I dunno, a cool bird that deserves to be paid more for its writing, they're banging on about computer games they've played instead. Liam - who looks like someone who would trap an ostrich's head in a car window at a safari park for a laugh - reckons Shotgun Cop Man might be one of this year's best platformers, but makes sure to circle back to the warm joy of tea-making sim Wanderstop. Rebecca - a known friend to Ostriches and the only host who looks me in the eyes while giving me my pebbles - is still not over Blue Prince, but finds some time to talk about The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy as well. And finally, Rachel - Ostrich enemy number one as far as we're all concerned - enthuses about a trio of truly excellent games in the form of Citizen Sleeper 2, The Alters, and Promise Mascot Agency. She may think Ostriches look like, and I quote, "if God shoved a long sparrow into a tumbleweed", but you can't deny she has good taste in games. In part two, the gang lists off the games they're most excited to play in the second half of the year. They yap about Tiny Bookshop, SHUTEN ORDER, Roma Sands RE:Build, Demonschool, Paralives, Ball X Pit, Star Birds, The Mermaid Mask and Morsels. Tbh I didn't really pay attention to this bit, I was thinking about grain. Finally, we reach Hyperfixations. Despite the summer heat, Rebecca's still been spending time with hot boys in the visual novel Bustafellows. Rachel's been standing next to a TV with her arms folded like someone's Dad while watching a bunch of movies, including Spice World, Clueless, Longlegs, and Death Becomes Her. Meanwhile, Liam found an old script he wrote 8 years ago, and instead of never mentioning it to anyone ever again (except maybe his therapist), he's chosen to read it out on the podcast instead. Yikes! Anyway, I'm off to look at my two toes, which is how many toes I have, because I am an ostrich. Cya, LOSERS. Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

There was so much anticipation for Graveyard Shark, but instead of delivering the expected fun it ended up being the third film we just could not finish. Maybe this movie will appeal to some. There are still some good lessons to be taken away from this movie, but the bad far outweighs the good. Low-budget Indies are often wrought with limits on sound production, filming, acting, all kinds of things. Those aren't necessarily bad, but Graveyard Shark looked and felt lazy. The writing was atrocious, directing non-existent, multiple levels of issues with sound, coloring, almost across the board are lessons on not what to do when making a film. The practical suit for Graveyard Shark, however, was baller. Graveyard Shark can be found on Tubi.

Rounding out the stellar cast are James Marsden (Cyclops in X-Men, Enchanted) as Lois's fiancé Richard White, Parker Posey (the “Queen of Indies” in Party Girl, Best in Show) as tabloid editor Kitty Kowalski, Sam Huntington (Disturbia, I Am Number Four) as earnest photographer Jimmy Olsen, Frank Langella (Oscar-nominated for Frost/Nixon) as Perry White, and Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar, Designated Survivor) as Richard's brother, Stanford White. The spirit of Superman's father, Jor-El, is heard in archive audio of Marlon Brando (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), tying this chapter back to the character's origins. Don't miss Tara & Andrew's breakdown of the film's most iconic moments—from the breathtaking sequence where Superman slows time to save Lois and Jason in that penthouse fall, to the jaw-dropping finale atop Lex's oceanic fortress, where Superman confronts a golden statue come to life. We'll discuss the soaring flight through Lois's apartment, the emotional “son of Krypton” reveal, and how Superman Returns balances nostalgia with new stakes for Earth's greatest hero.

What's up Indies welcome back to Creative Juice, this is the podcast where we cover growing and monetizing your fan base and building your music career with marketing strategies that are working RIGHT NOW based on what we see every day at our music marketing agency and across our community of thousands of artists and bands, I hope you enjoy and subscribe. I'm your host Jack McCarthy and with me as always is my co-captain Circa, what's up dude? Figuring out how to grow in your music career probably feels somedays like you're trying to hit a moving target. It can be, and here's why. Theory of constraints - it's a management concept that can be applied to business. It says that a business, whether it's your music career or the restaurant down the street, is limited in achieving its goals by a small number of constraints or bottlenecks. Basically that a business only grows up to its constraint. And when you apply the Theory of Constraints to a business, you look for the largest constraint or bottleneck to hitting your goals and remove that constraint first. Business examples - supply constrained (i don't have enough staff) vs demand constrained (i don't have enough customers) How to apply this candid conversation We do this all the time, literally OFTEN because it's so easy to get distracted different way of fighting shiny object syndrome Will doing X distract us/get us closer from/to our bigger goal of Y Ask circ of times he's helped an artist identify their constraints not new ways to do x, why currently why y isn't working when you live in your problems, you get blindness how to look for the one big thing sidequests and skills - the dirty secret of the fitness industry attacking your goals head on
