Podcasts about Thatgamecompany

This week on The Free Cheese, you are the wind. Journey with us back to 2009 to the heyday of PlayStation Network and the burgeoning world of indie video games. We discuss the significance of thatgamecompany's Flower and how it led to the creation of this podcast.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series of series on the independent games of the last couple of decades, starting with 2012's Fez. We set the game in its time, talk a bit about its precedents and the landscape of independent games in the middle of that console generation. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Single-digit cubes Issues covered: our real plan or lack thereof, early games, the indie revolution, the influences back and forth, the pressure of the space we're in, a highly visible indie, games from that year, sequels vs the different stuff in the indies, democratization of the market, the console cycle, always online fiasco, getting on the Steam store, opening console store fronts to independents, limitations, the broadband market and bandwidth costs, the publicity on the store, low cost of goods, continuing power of retail, a two dimensional puzzle game in a three dimensional world, charm, great music and MIDI with an unsettling feel, rotating the world, rebooting the game, achieving the effect without perspective, the Trixel engine, having a hard time getting it, trusting the game, having a new lens on a game, taking the time to infuse the whole experience, team sizes, telling a different story with an existing language, having fewer people to get on board, independent publishers and producers, influences, glitch aesthetics, map language, climbing on the sides of things, stopping time while the world rotates, how the editor might work, games from the past, CONFIG.SYS (dang it, could not remember), skipping over generations. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Will Wright, Indie Game: The Movie, Polytron, Phil Fish, Dishonored, Halo 4, AW American Nightmare, X-COM, Firaxis, Mass Effect 3, Forza Horizon, Far Cry (series), Counterstrike: Go, Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, Diablo III, Dragon's Dogma, Journey, The Walking Dead, Telltale Games, FTL, Spelunky, Papo y Yo, Bastion, Super Hexagon, Terry Cavanaugh, Supergiant, Hades, Transistor, UFO 50, Derek Yu, That Game Company, Sky, Sony, PlayStation, Microsoft, Steam, XBLA, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Nintendo, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Zelda (series), Super Mario (series), Metroid (series), Outer Wilds, The Sixth Sense (obliquely), Renaud Bedard, Trapdoor, Penny Arcade, blitworks, Tetris, Axiom Verge, Tron, Out of this World, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Super Mario 3D Land, Minecraft, Sam, Interstate '76, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Příběh Austina Wintoryho se nepodobá ničemu, co jsme zatím v Retro notách slyšeli. Sice byl odmalička geek, ale o muziku nejevil zájem, a když už na to konečně přišlo, neplánoval stát se herním skladatelem. A přesto se tak stalo, ale proč bychom to teď prozrazovali, když o tom vyprávíme šířeji v podcastu! Wintory složil hudbu k několika slavným hrám jako Assassin's Creed: Syndicate nebo Destroy All Humans, výrazně se podepsal i pod nezávislou hrou Journey. Celou svou kariéru zůstával rozkročený mezi středním proudem a nezávislou herní scénou, zároveň neváhal i po studiích dál občas něco složit do studentských projektů. Proto jsme se rozhodli celý jeho fascinující příběh odvyprávět v tomto dílu Retro not. Podívejte se na ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.retronation.cz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ na skvělé výlety do herního retra!

At their best, games become a home for players to experience and express themselves for years on end. But what makes a great game great? Soner Aydemir (Co-Founder & CEO, Dream Games) and Jenova Chen (CEO, ThatGameCompany) discuss how to approach game design, find your target audience, and create memorable and enduring game experiences.

Ah décembre ! Le mois des fêtes, des vacances, de la neige... Bon, comme on ne fait jamais rien comme tout le monde chez Entourloupe, nous avons opté pour un voyage dans le désert. Mais pas n'importe quel désert. Celui du formidable Journey (2012) chef d'oeuvre de That Game Company. Pour nous accompagner dans cette première incursion sur les terrains sableux du Jeu Vidéo, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir le délicieux Max Chabat (AKA Barton Stream sur Twitch) qui sera notre guide dans ce voyage si singulier. Comme d'habitude nous entamons les hostilités par des recommandations diverses et variées, et nous concluons le tout par un petit BacRidleyScott des familles. Toute l'équipe d'Entourloupe vous souhaite une belle écoute, et surtout de très belles fêtes de fin d'année !    Timecodes:  00:00:00 Générique 00:04:16 Petscop de Tony Domenico (2017) 00:11:22 La Voie des ancêtres de Doug Bock Clark (2021) 00:23:01 The Sound of 007 & The Sound of 007 : Live from The Royal Albert Hall (2022) 00:34:22 Portrait Chinois vidéoludique de Max Chabat 00:41:21 Journey (2012) 01:42:27 BacRidleyScott   Crédits: I Was Born For This - Austin Wintory Mii Song - Nintendo "Un air de famille" de Cédric Klapisch "Gladiator" de Ridley Scott      

Thatgamecompany has put out a few hits over the years, but perhaps their most celebrated is 2012's Journey. A single player puzzle platformer with an esoteric multiplayer hook: you are randomly partnered with someone online and you cannot speak to them. It makes for a magical experience, despite it's short length. So as we race for these last games to try and top the list, how will yet another INDIE DARLING stack up?

This track is the intro/exit to my podcast episode "Don't Forget You." The title "Tunnels" came to me when listening to the playback. The ambience and reverb remind me of a video game I played (which I feel is about the afterlife) called Journey, by ThatGameCompany. The tunnels referring to the transfer portal from here to there . . . wherever "there" happens to be.

Greg, Beppe and Intern Nick examine the 2012 masterpiece, Journey, and its spiritual successor, Abzu. They discuss ThatGameCompany and Giant Squid, and how their contributions to games helped prove to the general public that video games are works of art.

Journey is an indie adventure game co-developed by Thatgamecompany and Santa Monica Studio, published by Sony Computer Entertainment, and directed by Jenova Chen. It was released for the PlayStation 3 via PlayStation Network in March 2012 and ported to PlayStation 4 in July 2015.

What if I told you there was a game released in 2012 that told a compelling story without using any words? That it also provided a beautiful allegory for one’s passage through life? And that it has online multiplayer which is never toxic or exclusive? It's hard to believe but all of this is true of Journey, which Thatgamecompany released almost a decade ago. It made a big impression when it was first launched, but remained a blind spot for the book club crew until now. Listen in to our discussion about what made this game special and how it holds up today.Three Word Reviews:Bryan: Wordless Road TripClint: Short and SweetJosh: Scarf Squids ForeverEpisode Notes:Jenova Chen’s GDC talk on Journey

I questo episodio andiamo ad analizzare il videogioco Journey, sviluppato da ThatGameCompany e SantaMonicaStudio e la sua colonna sonora composta e orchestrata da Austin Wintory.Con: Fabio Antonelli e Stefano SerraEditato da: Fabio

Wenn einer eine Reise tut, kann er was erzählen – ein altes Sprichwort, das viele Spiele eher zur Pflicht verkommen lassen.

Striking a balance between engagement and appeasement can be tricky. Happily, Tim Nixon, Director of Online Experience at ThatGameCompany, has some very actionable advice to share on how to construct effective live events, how to acknowledge player feedback without becoming reactionary, and where to focus your energy. Support the Show.

In the eighty-eighth episode of Otaku Brothers, Rusty and Ryan take some time at the beginning of the show to discuss mental health and how they are doing. Later, Ryan gives his spoiler-free final thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima, while Rusty gushes about Thatgamecompany’s Journey for FAR longer than he should have. The Gents also discuss the delay of Halo Infinite, theorize when Sony will give a release date and price for PS5, and cap off the show with some excellent listener questions. Enjoy the episode!

Langsomt rejser du dig fra din meditative siddende position, kigger op på bakken foran dig, og lydløst bevæger du dig mod toppen. Hvorfor bevæger du dig i den retning? Der er ingen vægge omkring dig eller store huller du ikke kan hoppe over. Du bevæger dig mod bakken fordi den giver dig en udsigt over dine omgivelser, og måske en idé om, hvor du er. Og på den måde formår ThatGameCompany at guide spilleren frem uden pile, GPS eller en stor fed tekstboks, der forklarer reglerne. Uanset din erfaring med en kontroller i hånden, din opvækst eller forståelse af verden, så forstår vi alle sammen, at vi skal op på bakken. Det er et lydløst design, der går hele vejen fra start til slut. Journey skilter aldrig med sine mekanikker, men lader selv spilleren opdage dem – på godt og ondt. Outro af Anna.

We had our big April event in Dallas where we teamed up with Flight School Studio to promote their new game Island Time VR and play some awesome favorites of our own such as Battlesloths 2025, Mario Kart 8, Brawlout and more! We also demo the upcoming game from thatgamecompany called “Sky” for iOS. Finally, Extinction released from the developers behind Killer Instinct and work on many other games and unfortunately it doesn't quite make the mark. Our news features Apple's leak of a VR/AR headset in the works, some hackers making cheats in PUBG, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Nintendo's focus at E3 this year. Our discussion is about games becoming films and whether or not we should continue to pursue them. If we do continue to make them, how can filmmakers create movies that do the game justice? With Rampage becoming a movie and things like Prince of Persia and Assassin's Creed not doing the best, we're not sure what to expect.

Thatgamecompany had a deal with Sony in the late 2000s. The Studio, founded by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago, would make three games for the PlayStation 3's fledgling PSN service. The deal began with a remake of Chen's Flash title Flow which was then followed by Flower. The final part of Thatgamecompany's Sony trilogy was known as Journey and stands as perhaps the most well known art-house game on the planet. The title garnered a staggering number of awards for its visuals, unique, emotional gameplay, and player interaction, even earning the coveted game of the year spot from numerous publications. Austin Wintory's soundtrack catapulted the game into the mainstream consciousness as the only video game soundtrack ever to be nominated for a Grammy.  Though it released five years ago and the game industry has covered a lot of ground since 2012, we now look back and ask: Is Journey one of the best games period?

This week Daniel Jones flies solo in an Honorable Mention dedicated to the zen mobile game Alto's Adventure. The endless runner (endless ski-er?) utterly captivated Daniel in early 2015 and has been a game he has found difficult to put down ever since. The premier effort from studio Snowman it managed to generate some significant buzz in the mainstream press who praised its quality. Take a ride with Daniel as he takes you down the slopes of the thoroughly enchanting indie skiing odyssey.

While the first attempt at recording Episode 41 might have failed due to technical difficulties, we've returned this week with a brand new and totally original discussion of Flower, the PlayStation 3's 2009 indie darling. While playing as the wind using motion controls might have been a breath of fresh air, has the game become stale over time? What about the prestigious "Best Independent Game Fueled By Dew" award that the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards bestowed upon Flower? Has the honor of that accolade dimmed over the past years? More importantly, is Flower one of the best games period?
