In a Harvest Phase first, we recorded a full 2 hour episode and then scrapped it and recorded another. This Massively Multiplayer Online RPG inspired episode sees us discussing some of our experiences with Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy XIV, and how we see some key MMO mechanisms in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Adventure Tactics: Domianne's Tower, and Too Many Bones. Somehow in this conversation I get talking about Shawn Michaels, Sweet Chin Music, and I accidentally say the Rockers were comprised of Marty Jannetty and Bret Hart (For shame). Featured Games:21:08 World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (Alexander Ortloff, Justin Kemppainen, Michael Sanfilippo, Z-Man Games)43:53 Adventure Tactics: Domianne's Tower (Nicholas Yu, Letiman Games)1:09:10 Too Many Bones (Adam Carlson, Josh Carlson, Chip Theory Games)
This week I tell Julius about the bag building, worker placement game Groves. It's an interesting little game with just fantastic art by an independent publisher, Letiman Games. Check it out.

Emma and Gil sit down with Carla Kopp of Weird Giraffe Games and Galactic Raptor Games to discuss designing solo modes for games, the merits of "bots" in solo games, and how these bots tend to be named "Steve." SHOW NOTES 2m00s: Carla's first published game Super Hack Override. 4m53s: We spoke with Morten Monrad Pedersen on Ludology 154 - Leave Me Alone! about using Automa to make solo versions of games. 7m02s: Sarah Reed is a game designer, disability advocate, and all-around excellent person. 11m00s: The Cat Lady implementation for iOS and Android. 18m20s: Just a quick reminder that we’re talking about the digital implementation of the game Cat Lady, as opposed to Carla’s tabletop AIs. AI difficulty levels are more common in apps than they are in tabletop games. 19m45s: The Splendor digital implementation is sadly no longer available. 20m34s: Gil mentions the solo mode that comes in the tabletop version of It’s a Wonderful World.

We chatted with Theresa Duringer, CEO of Temple Gates, who developed the app, in Ludology 177 - AI AI, Captain! 24m26s: We're talking about the COIN (Counterinsurgencies) series of games, which have asymmetry built into them. Usually, each faction has a bot that allows many or all factions to be present in the game, even at a low player count. We talked to Volko Ruhnke, who began the series, in Ludology 178 - COIN Operated. 24m56s: The virtual gaming platform Tabletop Simulator. 26m54s: The three-body problem. 27m19s: Power Grid: The Robots 28m33s: Dune: Imperium, Smartphone Inc. 29m21s: Gil's second published game Battle Merchants. 31m24s: The Networks 33m10s: The underrated but absolutely amazing Fantasy Realms. 34m49s: Seven Wonders and Alhambra.

Dan Letzring, head of Letiman Games and publisher of Adventure Tactics: Domianne's Tower, stops by to response to the OSCS podcast we did on his game. It's a good back and forth where the publisher responds directly to our critical points. ----- Shelf Stories YouTube (with video of this recording) - www.youtube.com/channel/UCnaZ7055IWOdm8XCJfFRDcw __________________________________ YouTube - www.youtube.com/channel/UCrOtGhui_jdLdoQNI7PU4Pg and www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCIkULbgzMEW612cSdUX7Q Discord - discord.gg/p4jX8AF Facebook - www.facebook.com/onestopcoopshop Donate to One Stop Co-op Shop - www.patreon.com/onestop Email - onestopcoopshop@gmail.com

Matryoshka is available on Kickstarter right now! I sit down with Cassie and Dan to talk about Matryoshka, a trading and bluffing card game about those Russian nesting dolls I didn't know the name of until I heard about this game.

Their enthusiasm is infectious as they talk about this project, some of the rad art they've commissioned, and what's in store for the future of Letiman. I even pitch my own idea for a game that needs a North American printing, because I'm shameless like that. Click to see more about Letiman Games and Cassie.
