The So Many Games Podcast is a monthly show produced by the team behind the video game review website So Many Games. Hosted by Jason, we invite video game creators to talk about their craft and the games they’ve made. Usually concentrating on the guest’s background in game development, the creative process behind their project, and their thoughts on game design and the industry. We hope this is a place to come for developers to shine a light on their game through deep and meaningful conversation and for listeners to learn some new facts behind their favourite games.

    #12 | Scrabdackle with Jakefriend

    Jakefriend is a solo developer from Canada. The first act from his debut game, Scrabdackle, has recently been released, and Jake was very kind in spending some of his rare spare time to talk to us about the game. Jake shared some really interesting details about the development of the game, from the concept to how he landed on the locations to how he ended up with the episodic release idea. If you would like to keep up with Jake and Scrabdackle, then you can follow him on BlueSky, or he is very active in his Discord server. Please visit Scrabdackle's Steam page We also have a written review of Scrabdackle on So Many Games. Many thanks to our patrons, John, Kammy, Antonia, Ruzzh and Cerys, who we are incredibly lucky to have. If you would like to see what we offer and support independent video game coverage, then please take a look at our Patreon. Correction: I mention the game is published by Fellow Traveller in the intro, but this is not entirely accurate, as Fellow Traveller is co-publishing the game alongside Jakefriend.

    We break from the usual format to bring you a deep discussion on one of this year's biggest games, Hollow Knight: Silksong.

We delve into most aspects of the game in our discussion, from our expectations. coming into the game to our favourite locations, mechanics, its difficulty level and a meaty chat on the game's bosses. Although we split this episode into two, with the second part dedicated to a heavy spoilery discussion, some very light spoilers did creep into the first part; such was our enthusiasm for the game. Make sure to stick around to the very end of the podcast, as this episode debuts us playing adverts from our content creator friends. You may discover your next favourite podcast!
