    "Imaginarium"

    What's the 'double or half' rule? Why is game design like Khazad-dûm? What the hell is a quaternion? No, really, we don't know. Join AK and Lottie for another jaunt through game dev, via narrative modifiers, infinite nuns and 'entering the Mansus', for the first time ever... Support the show

    "The Kazoo Variants"

    "There are games where the player is having fun and games where the designer is having fun." - Sid Meier Maps! Music! British pre-decimal currency! We discuss planning game narratives around major player choices, Mike Rosewater's 'complexity budget' and why putting little stamps on bank notes is not a good idea. Support the show

    "Agave Aeterna"

    "What we want is a sort of semi-glutide octi-frenetic image that is kinda made of lighting and also is a baby..." This week AK and Lottie discuss how art direction works, how to balance being weird with being commercially viable, how we're building Travelling At Night's entirely 2D visual world, and how to paint a tree. All while accidentally revealing what we suspect might be our next Weather Factory game and answering our first batch of mail bag entries. Support the show

    'My fingers are worn to bleeding nubs. I am typing this with my tongue. my keyboard is sticky with game dev drool. Do you not understand...' Thus did 2026 begin. Welcome back to the world of game dev, this time about 'murdering darlings', the Curst curse and why Newt will always trump Aliens' M577 Armored Personnel Carrier. Support the show

    Only In Silence The Word

    "The final victory of sci-fi is its final defeat," says AK, gnomically, before we sing the Beverly Hills Cop theme tune and talk about trombones. Join us for a discussion of 'the best fiction novel of the 20th century', A Wizard of Earthsea, and its masterful magic system: from Native American folklore to shamanism, demonic to natural theurgy, and eastern wyrms to western protodragons. Is it written for children or not? What is 'Equilibrium'? Why is 'clot of shadow' so upsetting, and what does it have to do with Cultist Simulator? In memory of Ursula Le Guin, and little Hoag. Games / books mentioned in this episode, for your gaming / reading pleasure: - A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula Le Guin - City of Illusions, by Ursula Le Guin - Cultist Simulator, by us Support the show
