    Episode 41 - Tetris Forever w/ Digital Eclipse

    After a one-episode break, we're now back to Digital Eclipse content with the impending release of Tetris Forever. Joining this week are DE's Chris Kohler, editorial director, and Jason Cirillo, lead designer and programmer of Tetris Timewarp, an original title included in Tetris Forever. We cover a lot of ground in this one, from our first experiences with Tetris, some behind-the-scenes of the development of Tetris Forever, a lot about Tetris Timewarp, and, of course, playing a silly game.YouTube: https://youtu.be/WqtfN6ZcST0Tetris Forever AVAILABLE available 11/12:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3180240/Tetris_Forever/GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/tetris_foreverSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/tetris-forever-switch/PS: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10012314Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/tetris-forever/9pfhc37m5qbqWishlist Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2816870/Mighty_Morphin_Power_Rangers_Ritas_Rewind/PS: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10009198Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/mighty-morphin-power-rangers-ritas-rewind/9ND4JD0MXT2HAtari 50: Expanded Edition AVAILABLE NOW!Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1919470/Atari_50_The_Anniversary_Celebration/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration-digital-expanded-edition-switch/PS: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0182-CUSA34728_00-0668738034155475Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/atari-50-the-anniversary-celebration-digital-expanded-edition/9NZK7ZB6CDKM/0010Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discord (https://link.atari.com/atari-discord)Follow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariDigital Eclipse: https://x.com/DigitalEclipseFollow DE on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/digitaleclipsestudiosJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoomChris Kohler:https://x.com/kobunheat

    Episode 40 - Killing Time: Resurrected w/ Nightdive Studios

    Just in time for Halloween, Nightdive Studios did what it does best. They released a remastered gem from first-person-shooting history that blended spooky shooting with live-action FMV story: Killing Time Remastered. Fortunately, I was able to assemble four guests from the team that worked on the title to speak about it. Joining this pod are Nightdive's Grover Wimberly IV (Project Manager/Producer), Adam Grayshon (Project Coordinator), Josh Dowell (Game Programme), and End (Game Programmer). We talk through the game itself, the development process, and some insight into the original game's production. And, what has become a new tradition, I subject them all to a silly game at the end.YouTube: https://youtu.be/4hCuOKru_NgKilling Time: Resurrected AVAILABLE NOW:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1733170/Killing_Time_Resurrected/GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/killing_time_resurrectedSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/killing-time-resurrected-switch/PS: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10011545Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/killing-time-resurrected/9pbvfggxzv24Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discord (https://link.atari.com/atari-discord)Join the Nightdive Discord: https://discord.com/invite/nightdivestudiosFollow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariNightdive Studios: https://x.com/NightdiveStudioJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoomEnd - Twitter: https://x.com/ENDESGAGrover Wimberly IV - https://x.com/GroverWhimJosh Dowell - https://x.com/Slartbarty

    Two years ago, Atari and Digital Eclipse released one of the greatest odes to video game history Atari 50: the Anniversary Celebration. Turns out there's a lot more story to tell, thus leading to two announced DLC for the darling title. Joining me to dive into the first installment of the DLC, The Wider World of Atari, are Digital Eclipse's Dave Rees (Software Engineer), Dan Amrich (Content Editor), and Stephen Frost (Head of Production). We talk about what led to the creation of the DLC, how a Gold Master narrative gets constructed, and then end with a thrilling game.YouTube: https://youtu.be/Cw5finyIxTEAtari 50: The Wider World of Atari AVAILABLE NOW!Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2775650/Atari_50_The_Wider_World_of_Atari/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/atari-50-the-wider-world-of-atari-70050000051288-switch/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0182-PPSA08601_00-0051882273573412Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/atari-50-the-wider-world-of-atari/9n8f6ntjb5cwYars Rising AVAILABLE NOW!Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2534370/Yars_Rising/Epic: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/yars-rising-e591caSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/yars-rising-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10010102/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/yars-rising/9nm99mvp8qt9Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discord (https://link.atari.com/atari-discord)Follow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariDigital Eclipse: https://x.com/DigitalEclipseFollow DE on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/digitaleclipsestudiosJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoomStephen Frost: https://x.com/frostman007
