Trent Kusters chats with Ben Esposito, Game Director behind the Annapurna Interactive published Neon White. Together they discuss what sparked his interest in game development; his work at The Unfinished Swan and What Remains of Edith Finch developer Giant Sparrow; the long development journey of his previous game Donut County; and how he followed that up by creating the "gamiest game" he could think of in Neon White.

“What kind of family finishes building a cemetery before starting the house?” An interactive rumination on what death means to the living, is one way to describe Giant Sparrow's follow-up to The Unfinished Swan. Or, a walking simulator set in a big house is another. Leon, Brian, Leah, Tony and community correspondents follow in the Finch's footsteps to attempt to decide for themselves whether they believe a curse, fate or simply the fragile nature of existence is at play in What Remains of Edith Finch. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_522.mp3 1.

"I realized something - I wasn't sad that it was all gone. I had fun making all that stuff! I would've done it anyway. And then, somehow I knew that when I woke up, all my work would really be destroyed. And that's when you showed up. I don't know how you got here...but I am glad to see you."We have all felt unfinished in one way or another - to feel so is to be human. The thesis of "The Unfinished Swan," the game that Ben and Rick discuss this week, deals with the idea of this being not only an important area of growth but one that must be embraced, for it is not a failing on who we are. Author note - this is the kind of game we made this podcast specifically to talk about, so we hope you enjoy the discussions within.PATREON: www.patreon.com/pixelprojectradio DISCORD: https://discord.gg/Rfjx2ptWP5TWITTER: @pixelprojectpodINSTAGRAM: @pixelprojectradiopodcastThank you for listening!

Nicklas Halvorsen og jeg har dykket ned i historien til Santa Monica Studio, selskapet som står bak God of War-serien, men som også har tatt mange indieselskaper under vingene.I arbeidet med denne episoden innså jeg en connection mellom The Unfinished Swan og What Remains of Edith Finch, to spill jeg er kjempeglad i, som jeg ikke har sett før. Den sammenhengen ble jeg veldig rørt av, og gjorde begge spillene enda mye vakrere for meg. Kanskje du klarer å grave deg frem til sammenhengen ved å høre nøye etter? Uansett bør du spille begge spillene hvis du ikke har gjort det før. Hva venter du på? Gjør det allerede denne helgen!- Andreas See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Vi kan herved presentere dagens gjest: Jon Cato Lorentzen fra LOL-Bua. For en historie, for en reise. Han fikk Lise til å få et litt annet syn på Uncharted spilla. Vi får høre morsomme historier fra journalist karrieren og frem til i dag. Vi er amazed og ble inspirert av Jon Cato. Kitt har gitt seg spillnekt i en liten periode , men forteller om et tidligere spill hun har testet - The Unfinished Swan i tillegg har ho fått napp på SMS-ruletten. Lise har fortsatt ferden med Super Mario 64.
A fish ate my podcasting license… Welcome back to NOCLIP Pocket! Today, we’re going to be talking about A Short Hike, an indie adventure game and the third game in our deeply important series of bird based games on Pocket. A Short Hike is a very minimalist game, both in style and length, but there is still a good bit to do and explore, even if the game’s world isn’t so big. Part platformer, part adventure game, you spend much of your time in the game collecting items to reach new heights and complete tasks to deepen your relationships with the animal characters who inhabit the camp in which the game takes place. It’s these charming characters that give the game it’s personality. To the point where it feels reductive to refer to doing things for them as “completing tasks,” as the rewards you get for finishing them are much less important than the mostly tiny stories they all have. Combine that with a surprisingly satisfying set of movement mechanics and a dynamic soundtrack, and you get a really focused experience that oscillates between calming exploration and exhilarating flights around the island. We’re going to be talking about the host of different activities available to do in the game’s open world, how the dialogue really sells the game’s light but personal narrative, and how close we are in age to the target demographic for fishing. Thank you for joining us again this week! This game comes from a half-joking suggestion on our Discord server we got after posting the Unfinished Swan episode, and I’m personally really happy to have been made aware of it. This type of short, calming game is really welcome during stressful times (see, e.g., a global pandemic, playing Resident Evil VII, etc.), so I hope if you decided to play along this week that this game was able to put you in a more relaxed headspace. Next time, we’re going to be talking about Phasmophobia, partly to act as a counterpart to what we’re playing for the main podcast next, and partly as an excuse to screw around online with some friends, so I hope you’ll join us for that!

Steve has a bunch of video game characters over for Christmas and Trav mails himself to The Rock. The back and forth of beats between two listeners is reaching an epic magnitude! The two close out the show reflecting on their favorite games played in 2020. Check out what's in their top 5! Also, there's something about cleaning a donut and no one really knows why.
Det kan være let nok at starte en opgave. Udfordringen ligger i at færdiggøre arbejdet. Få gennemført de sidste, langsommelige detaljer, så bogen kan lukkes afsluttet sammen i stedet for at have mange løse sider liggende i sin skuffe år efter år. Det er en udfordring Monroe kender til – især fordi han er vokset op i et hjem, med en mor der altid efterlod opgaver ufærdigt på væggene inden hun ankom til målstregen. Da maleriet af en ufærdig svane en nat har forladt sin ramme, sætter Monroe på jagt efter den i håb om at færddigøre den og forhåbentlig også sig selv i processen. Gæst: Anna.

We have always been much better at starting podcasts than finishing them. Welcome to the podcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about The Unfinished Swan, an adventure game from Giant Sparrow, the team behind What Remains of Edith Finch. This is an adventure game that has a very concrete idea and it goes about expanding on that idea in an extremely fluid way. Pun intended. The game revolves around throwing balls of liquid, which change properties throughout the game, to accomplish a variety of things including revealing pathways (the mechanic on which the game markets itself ), interacting with objects and growing plants. This is a double-edged sword because the different ways to interact are all interesting in one way or another, but because of how little time you spend with any one verb, none of them feel fully explored in the way we would like to see them. This isn’t a death sentence by any means, and the accolades this game received are evidence of that, but it leaves a lot of slack to be picked up by the game’s other elements. We’re going to be talking about the implications of the game’s visual design, the experience of playing with the different forms of interaction and about the plants and how they were mushy. Thank you for checking out the episode! This was a game that got a lot of attention from indie game circles when it was released, so it’s always been something we’ve wanted to go back to. Plus, it was recently released on PC and mobile so it’s easier than ever to play along. Next time, we’re going from a game that was pretty universally appreciated to one with a more mixed reception: Minit. So join us then for what will assuredly be the correct opinion to hold.
This episode is about three games that all share a sense of wonder and fairytale mystery. First is The Unfinished Swan, a celebrated 2012 PS3 title that has just been released for iOS and Steam. Next up is Fujii, a mellow, nature-oriented VR journey. Then it's time for enigmatic dimension-shifting 2D puzzle game Gorogoa. We round things off with some chat about The Secret of Dank Mountain and Sky: Children of Light.

Leave your front door open and your podcast unguarded, Welcome back to NOCLIP Pocket this week! Today, we’re going to be talking about Plants vs. Zombies, arguably PopCap’s breakout game, a casual tower defense game with a distinct theme. But I probably don’t need to explain what this game is to you, because statistically you’ve probably played, seen, or at least heard of it before given how crazy popular it was. Revisiting the game after so many years really puts into context what about the game made it popular and how we’ve advanced in design space and that historical context makes up a lot of the discussion this week. We’re going to talk about casual tower defense game design and how the game wants to make you feel good, the attractive visual design and presentation and we go on and on about how free mobile games have become a detestable quagmire of unacceptable advertising. Thank you for listening to us shatter our nostalgia this week! We’re trying to balance our pocket episodes between smaller titles that don’t take a long time to play and ones that can actually be played on a device that fits in your pocket, and this game is pretty emblematic of the latter. However, next time we’re sampling a little more of the former and talking about The Unfinished Swan, from the developers of What Remains of Edith Finch, so be sure to check back then.
This week on Indie Pod: An Indie Games Podcast we talk about the allegations of abuse and inappropriate behavior perpetrated by the head of Lab Zero Games that caused not only the exodus of talent at the studio but also the loss of a large partner, a possible tease for a new Unfinished Swan game, and the story behind Fall Guys. We also hop over to Kickstarter in God Bless The Crowd to talk about a bewildering adventure game called Lightbreak, answer your listener questions, and much more. If you love Indie Games and want to stay informed, or better yet entertained, then make sure to tune in each and every Friday for new episodes of Indie Pod: An Indie Games Podcast.

Hi everyone. This episode is something a little different: five soothing, calming, non-violent, mellow games to help you unwind during difficult times. The five games I talk about this episode are FAR: Lone Sails, Journey, The Unfinished Swan, Gris and Sayonara Wild Hearts. I found all of them to be soul-soothing in their own way. None of them are expensive, and most are available cross-platform. I really hope you enjoy listening, and enjoy playing. I also give a shout out to the amazing Twitter community, with thanks to the people who pushed the show's Twitter account up to 1000 followers this week. Catch up with me there for chats, feedback and pass on your game recommendations at @gaminginthewild. Same handle on Instagram. Finally, RTs, shares, subscriptions, and reviews & ratings in the iTunes podcast app are very much appreciated to help spread the word for this little podcast. Take care out there, and happy gaming! ✨❤️✨

Peter becomes a great wolf deity to bring an ink wash painted Nippon back to life in Ōkami and Joe throws ink around a white canvas to solve a painting's mystery with Joel Corelitz's work in The Unfinished Swan.
Ian Dallas is the creative director of Giant Sparrow, an indie game studio responsible for some of the most mind-provoking games of recent years. Their first game, The Unfinished Swan, won Best Debut Game at the 2013 Video Game BAFTAs, as well as awards for innovation. The follow-up, What Remains of Edith Finch, won Game of the Year at the BAFTAs, and is a remarkable study of grief and family, the likes of which would previously have been unthinkable in the medium of video games.We chat to Ian about how he and his team create these games, and what the writing process involves.

Media require active perception from their users. Videogames provide perhaps the most obvious example of this; in order to perceive the world of a videogame, a user must play the game, negotiating its spaces and manipulating its objects. While perception of cinema may be less obviously active, it is in fact no less active than is perception of games. At the turn of the Twentieth Century, the emergence of film established new modes of experience for viewers, and perception of films remains a skill that cinema-goers continually develop and refine. Perception of media has often been treated as an exception to the operations of perception in general. Reflecting on the twin examples of the 2011 videogame The Unfinished Swan and the 1900 film How it Feels to be Run Over, I propose that active perception in media use might be seen as exemplary of, rather than exceptional to, the work we do every day in order to perceive the world around us.

Ben explains why Donut County took five years to make, the lessons he's learned, idea theft, how to manage your time in the games industry, how to write humor into games, and what comes next.
