POPULARITY
Time for a one off with the great folks at Oro Interactive who currently is on a real victory lap with 300k units sold of Roadside Research within two weeks(!) and 400k units sold for Super Battle Golf within it's first week! Absolutely bonkers. But not as bonkers as Shams who is once again away on a mission celebrating Swedish games at the Swedish Game Awards 2026, while Fernando sits down with our guests Sam and Daniel to chat about what it's actually like running a tiny (but fast!) publishing label. They dive into how it all started, how they decide what feels right, and also, why Oro don't really care for big pitch decks or drawn-out processes. Specifically, we look deeper into the topic of moving quickly when something clicks, spotting that one small detail that makes a game stand out, and most importantly - why staying small might be the whole point. Please follow Sam and Daniel at Oro Interactive here!

Right, the Caretaker went away for a week with strict instructions for the two episodes that he would miss to be uploaded each Wednesday. These instructions were not followed. Therefore this week is now going to be One Life Left Week. This episode from two weeks ago will be uploaded on Tuesday, the following episode on Friday and the next one on Monday. This should get us back up to speed. It also means Dan Marshall is going to be doing a heck of a lot of running this week. So, what happened in this/that week’s episode? Ann was still playing Picross and managed to get juice all over the screen. Ste was doing Marioke in Sweden and also presented the Swedish Game Awards. Simon went to Blackpool for the Slime Fest and found out the correct way to talk to EthanGamerTV. Our SSSG was Yan Kuzovlev from Weappy Studio, who called in to talk about their game This Is The Police which was about to be launched on Switch, but has now been out for ages. Sorry Yan, it’s not my fault. Yan talked about how This Is The Police had been received on PC and the other consoles and why (“the” - Ann) Switch was a logical choice for the next port. There was also a bit of chat about the price of popcorn these days. You know the usual videogame chat. Ste is away next/last week as he’s in Finland. Luckily the show will be in good hands right? Find out on Friday… Cheerio! Team OLL x Links: https://twitter.com/2Piccadilly https://twitter.com/weappystudio https://twitter.com/thepolicegame Tracklist: 1.

Samtal med Anna Jenelius, spelutvecklare på Talecore Studios. Anna berättar bland annat om hur QA arbetet går till på Paradox, hur det var att leda Swedish Game Awards och varför hon tycker så mycket om spel som får spelaren att känna något. https://ia601509.us.archive.org/34/items/DenFjardeVaggenAnnaJenelius/Den%20fj%C3%A4rde%20v%C3%A4ggen%20-%20Anna%20Jenelius.mp3
I veckans avsnitt är det en trio, bestående av de tre pojkarna Ludde, Niklas och Tobbe som står för spelsnacket. Mycket spelsnack blir det. Inte mindre än sju spel avhandlas. Förutom det blir det även en intervju med en av filurerna bakom Swedish Game Awards plus en massa annat så klart. Trevlig lyssning.

Overkligt ölrus tar oss som gisslan när två lyssnare intar studion och öppnar en julklapp som länge varit försvunnen. Herrarna är vandrande profeter för Swedish Game Awards – frälsning och upphöjelse för nya spelutvecklare. Och fastän Victor, härmed dubbad alla tech-freaks korsriddare, fortsätter ta med attiraljer av alla de slag, så har det ändå hunnit […]
