BREAKING Protocol: Trailer Music Breakdown

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. Joining me today is lead composer and sound designer Dillan Schmitz, who has been helping shape the emotional and sonic heartbeat of the game from the very beginning. We’re going to look back at all of the SHADE Protocol trailers released so far and talk about how the music evolved alongside the project itself — how the sound of the game changed over time, what inspired those tracks, and how music helps define the world, the characters, and the emotional identity of SHADE Protocol. ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.

BREAKING Protocol: Progression System

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. Today’s topic dives into something every action-adventure game needs to get right: progression. With the Protocol system already offering huge customization and playstyle variety, the team is exploring a secondary progression system that adds a sense of growth without overshadowing the core mechanics. ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.

BREAKING Protocol: Elythium Pt.2

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today’s topic might sound simple at first — currency. But in the world of SHADE Protocol, even money has a story. Because the currency of the game isn’t coins, credits, or scrap. It’s Elythium — the same sentient metal that powers Replicas and drives the technology of the entire world. So this isn’t just something you spend. It’s something alive, something valuable, and something deeply tied to the world’s history. ⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Episode 268: Life of Voice Acting W/ Josh Portillo

Voice actor Josh Portillo returns to The Razzle Dazzle Show! This time, we’re going beyond the characters and diving into the REAL side of remote voice acting. From the pros and cons of working from home, to staying motivated when things feel bleak, to how actors continue growing in an insanely competitive industry — Josh gets honest about the creative grind behind the mic. Of course, it wouldn’t be The Razzle Dazzle Show without some chaos too. We also get into cursed line reads, horror voice acting, ridiculous recording moments, and plenty of pop culture tangents along the way. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it actually takes to keep pursuing creative work when things get tough, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

BREAKING Protocol: Harmonies Pt.2

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. This DAU is all about Harmonies, SHADE Protocol’s ultimate abilities system. The team is toying with how to bring big cinematic combat moments to the forefront of gameplay — without making them feel too rare or disconnected from player control. In this minisode, we’ll explore the concept, the inspiration, and how the community weighed in on what makes a satisfying ultimate ability in a Metroidvania. ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.
