    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

    Since its debut in 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers has continued to capture generations of kids while leaving a deep and enduring nostalgic love for the colorful heroes. Enter Digital Eclipse's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind - the 90s-era beat-em-up that never was. Joining me to preview the title are returning guests Dan Amrich (content editor) and Stephen Frost (head of production) in addition to Jeremey Williams (lead engineer).

    Episode 38 - Exploring Atari 50's First DLC w/ Digital Eclipse

    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

    Episode 37 - Producing Yars Rising w/ Mark Perloff

    Mark Perloff is no stranger to this podcast, but has yet to be the subject. Until now! Being the lead producer on Yars Rising, it seemed like a great to bring him on to learn more about his journey to Atari, pry for some behind-the-scenes insights into Yars Rising, and then ask a slate of random questions that I love to do so much.YouTube: https://youtu.be/rg13xej-yjk (https://youtu.be/rg13xej-yjk)Yars 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/atariJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoom

    Episode 36 - Jetlagged w/ WayForward's James Montagna

    Less than 24 hours after getting home from Gamescom in Germany, James Montanga, director of Yars Rising, kindly agreed to join me once again for a more light-hearted episode of the podcast. My goal: talk a bit more about Yars Rising beyond what was covered in our preview in Episode 31, and discuss Gamescom and demoing games to press. We cover all that and more throughout this hour-plus-long episode.

    Episode 35 - Atari Design Through the Ages w/ Tim Lapetino

    Tim Lapetino, writer of the book, The Art of Atari, was hired as Atari's creative director earlier this year. Few people know our company like he does as he's literally written a book on it! Tim and I (Jason) haven't had too many discussions together, so this was a great opportunity to learn more about his history and share that with you all. I hope you enjoy the discussion as much as I did!Video link: https://youtu.be/sy8YTAWRmlUWishlist/Preorder Yars 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)Follow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariTim Lapetino: https://x.com/lapetinoJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoom

    Episode 34 - Speedrunning Mr. Run and Jump w/ Altabiscuit & Graphite Lab

    A little over a year ago, Atari and Graphite Lab launched Mr. Run and Jump to critical acclaim. Little did we know at the time, that it would catch the speedrunning eyes of Altabiscuit and lead to runs at SGDQ and the upcoming PAX West. What better a time, then, to bring our friends from Graphite Lab, studio director Matt Raithel and MR&J director John Mikula, back to the podcast to talk speedrunning their title and speedrunning in general?Video link: https://youtu.be/AQaHnmScLygWishlist/Preorder Yars 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/9nm99mvp8qt9Mr Run and Jump Available Now:Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2132540/Mr_Run_and_Jump/Switch: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/mr-run-and-jump-switch/PS4/PS5: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10007242Xbox: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/mr-run-and-jump/9n9m6v87h1z8Hive Jump 2: Survivors in Early AccessSteam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2545740/Hive_Jump_2_Survivors/Join the Atari Discord: https://link.atari.com/atari-discord (https://link.atari.com/atari-discord)Follow us:Atari: https://x.com/atariGraphite Lab: https://x.com/graphitelabaltabiscuit: https://x.com/altabiscuitJohn Mikula: https://x.com/JohnMikulaMatt Raithel: https://x.com/raitheoshowJason Polansky: https://x.com/JaysOfDoom
