Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our series within a series on walking simulators, this time with The Stanley Parable. We talk about the multiple paths, the humor, the zany meta of it all, and then turn to our takeaways.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on walking simulators with 2012's Dear Esther, played here in a 2017 "Landmark Edition" but based on a 2007 Source mod for Half-Life 2. We of course set the game in its time, spend a fair amount of time on randomness and meaning, and open the cellar door. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: The whole shebang Issues covered: walking simulators, 2012 in games, a little history of The Chinese Room (the company), a little digression on The Chinese Room (the thought experiment), influences, developing in the mod community, the role of randomness, discovering the randomness, justifying the randomness, mod communities replaying games, not discussing games as you play them, writers having the same space to play, 30 seconds of depressing poetry, "cellar door," a quality of lovely phonemes, the facts we know and the things we might interpret, a dreamy narrative space, Tim reveals his baseball knowledge, a metaphor for grief and an otherworldly space, rebirth, a car accident setting vs a gurney setting, things you can miss, not a thing video games would do, appreciating a new design space, directors' commentaries, crematory urns, one of the props, the impact of the ultrasound, needing to relate to the characters, the potential for missing things.

John gets things started with some various Monster Hunter talk, as he (and everyone else) gears up for the upcoming release of Monster Hunter Wilds. Randall picks things up from there with some thoughts on both entries in the Rogue Legacy series, now that he's had a chance to explore the improvements of the sequel. Kevin's up next, as he gushes about the demo for the recently released (in the West) BAKERU from the one and only Good-Feel. Finally, John wraps things up with Whisker Squadron: Survivor, as he continues his quest for modern day "3D on-rails shooters," akin to the classic Star Fox games.   Timestamps: Monster Hunter  -  00:02:21 Rogue Legacy 1 + 2  -  00:15:04 BAKERU  -  00:28:51 Whisker Squadron: Survivor  -  00:39:45   Thanks for taking the time to listen!  If you'd like to find us elsewhere on the Internet, you can find us at:

Well hello there everybody! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Trophy Talk. For the first time in over a month, the original crew is back together to discuss all your Patreon submitted questions, trophy related news stories, and an assortment of newly released trophy lists. This episode featured some great thought provoking questions for us to dissect and mull over, and we hope that you enjoy listening to us discuss them as much as we enjoyed recording our thoughts. For starters, Colin wants to know what happened with Stranded Deep. The once free with PS+ essential survival game, received a patch recently that makes the platinum easily obtainable in it's new co-op game mode. Is this something that makes sense to go after and how do we feel about this Ultra Rare platinum becoming way more obtainable? From there we discuss great book recommendations, our favorite homecooked meals, gaming soundtracks that we consistently return to, and what our dream jobs are. We dwell on these topics for quite some time as they were a lot of fun. Finally we close up shop with three trophy list reviews. Colin is optimistic about all things Capcom recently, including the Exoprimal trophy list. Slugger continues his love of rogue lite / like games with Rogue Legacy 2, and Darryl continues to find fun survival horror indie games in his review of Gylt. We sincerely thank you for listening, and for your support. We'll be back in two weeks time with a very exciting episode of what we've been playing, we'll reveal more details on that in the coming week or so. Take care, and happy gaming! =)

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1980's seminal and genre-naming title, Rogue. We set the game in time and talk about what constitutes the genre before diving into some particulars. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: A few runs Issues covered: buying the game in a box, being disappointed in the ASCII, being turned off by procedural games, the differences in later games, the lore of the game, playing on a mainframe, the roots of so many games in text format, a top 50 achievement in games, the elements of the Rogue-like, procedural generation, inventory, randomized items, permadeath, getting over the hurdles in types of games, a chain reaction of bad things, clicking with a specific experience, simulating the rogue-like, a long shadow, playing to get a feel, being terrified of letters, trying things at random, a voyage of discovery, knowledge, renaming everything, consistent descriptions, thinking about strategy, the cumbersome bow mechanics, more depth than expected, the possibilities of emergence, anecdote factory, "wait, there are bear traps?"
