Yars Rising has been making waves recently with a new gameplay trailer dropping, a demo during Steam Next Fest, and a preview cycle out of Summer Games Fest. To keep the good times rolling, I invited James Montagna (game director) and Mark Perloff (lead producer) to talk all about the title. We dive into the origins of the game's concept, how a metroidvania is crafted, and so much more.Video link: https://youtu.be/SD-xb83rHugThe Yars Rising remix contest: https://www.iconcollective.edu/atari (https://www.iconcollective.edu/atari)Wishlist/Preorder: NeoSprintSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217910/NeoSprint/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/neosprint-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10008586Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/neosprint/9nlk47rjwkp7Yars RisingSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2534370/Yars_Rising/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-Switch-games/Yars-Rising-2556901.htmlPS4/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)Join WayForward Discord: https://discord.com/invite/QnF5MF3AxTFollow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariWayForward: https://x.com/WayForwardJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoomJames Montagna: https://x.com/JamesPopStar

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is out of early access and available across a bevy of platforms. What better time to get Digital Eclipse on the pod to talk about it? I've assembled a party consisting of Ian Sherman (Senior Engineer), Nick Bruty (Art Director), and Justin Rosenthal-Kambic (Animation Lead) to get deep into the maze of development that's brought this classic to modern platforms as only Digital Eclipse can do.Video link: https://youtu.be/6vSjTvEalYcNew Release: Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord w/ Digital EclipseSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518960/Wizardry_Proving_Grounds_of_the_Mad_Overlord/GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/wizardry_proving_grounds_of_the_mad_overlordSwitch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/wizardry-proving-grounds-of-the-mad-overlord-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10010381Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/wizardry-proving-grounds-of-the-mad-overlord/9pnxh7qr4zn4Wishlist/Preorder: NeoSprintSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217910/NeoSprint/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/neosprint-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10008586Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/neosprint/9nlk47rjwkp7Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discord (https://link.atari.com/atari-discord)Follow us:Atari: https://twitter.com/atariDigital Eclipse: https://twitter.com/DigitalEclipseJason Polansky: https://twitter.com/JaysOfDoomJustin Rosenthal-Kambic: https://x.com/JxRK

The Recharged series came from the desire to create classic Atari IP from the ground up for modern hardware while retaining its arcade spirit. Enter Alan-1, the team that's bringing the franchise full circle back to Arcades with plenty of surprises along the way. We cover a lot here, including the background of Alan-1 themselves and what makes their first in this collaboration, Asteroids: Recharged, so unique and worthy of your quarters.YouTube Link: youtube linkhttps://youtu.be/izDrLT0v5jsLunar Lander Beyond AVAILABLE NOW: Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2376270/Lunar_Lander_Beyond/Epic Games Store: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/lunar-lander-beyond-30b7a0Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lunar-lander-beyond-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10005702/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/lunar-lander-beyond/9NXSBLM4MBP6Wishlist NeoSprint: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217910/NeoSprint/Wishlist Yars Rising: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2534370/Yars_Rising/Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discordFollow us:Atari: https://twitter.com/atariAlan-1:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alan1games/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Alan-1-Inc-100083198127524/Discord: https://discord.gg/gupQhU2SKPTwitter: https://twitter.com/Alan_1_GamesJason Polansky: https://twitter.com/JaysOfDoom

Hot on the heels of Lunar Lunar Beyond's release earlier in the week, we wanted to put a shine on the team that made the beautiful cutscenes throughout it: Bewilder. I'm joined by Nicolas Rix, animation director, and Pieter Jordan, lead compositor, to go into the process of creating these animations and how they added a new dimension to the world of Lunar Lander Beyond.Lunar Lander Beyond AVAILABLE NOW: Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2376270/Lunar_Lander_Beyond/Epic Games Store: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/lunar-lander-beyond-30b7a0Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lunar-lander-beyond-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10005702/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/lunar-lander-beyond/9NXSBLM4MBP6Wishlist NeoSprint: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217910/NeoSprint/Follow us:Atari: https://twitter.com/atariBewilder: https://www.instagram.com/bewildertv Rave Growl: https://www.instagram.com/ravegrowlJason Polansky: https://twitter.com/JaysOfDoomNicolas Rix: https://www.instagram.com/NicolasRixPieter Jordaan: https://www.instagram.com/snotskietpiet

It's official: NeoSprint is exiting early access and racing to all platforms soon! What better time to see what's changed since we last checked in months ago at the start of the VCS early access period? And who better to do so than the head of developer Headless Chicken, Jose Pablo Monge Chacon (JP), and Atari's senior art director, John Kauderer, a creative driver on the title?YouTube link: https://youtu.be/mJawSuLf04wWishlist NeoSprint: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217910/NeoSprint/Wishlist/Pre-order Lunar Lander Beyond: Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2376270/Lunar_Lander_Beyond/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/lunar-lander-beyond-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10005702/Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/lunar-lander-beyond/9NXSBLM4MBP6Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discordFollow us:Atari: https://twitter.com/atariHeadless Chicken: https://twitter.com/HeadlessCG, https://www.instagram.com/headlesschickengames/, https://discord.gg/r3F5cnMKW6Jason Polansky: https://twitter.com/JaysOfDoomJohn Kauderer: johnkauderer.com, https://www.youtube.com/user/kemicon, https://www.youtube.com/@johnkauderer3072JP: https://twitter.com/loko08
