    Ep 24: Egg-Rich (Animal Well)

    Annie goes Blue Prince mode and breaks out the serial killer notebook. Emmi crashes out over frisbee platforming.  *Clarification on Roblox’s news: Roblox’s shares did not decline 70% in response to their earnings announcement; rather, it declined 70% from their peak share price last year (per IGN). Shares did fall substantially following the announcement, but declined by 27% (per Eurogamer) not the 70% figure cited.  Chapters:  (00:00:27) News  (00:04:51) Animal Well  (01:06:00) Upcoming Games  News Links:   gamesindustry.biz on Roblox  Eurogamer on Roblox  IGN on Roblox  Animal Well Links:  WIRED Interview w/ Billy Basso (March 2025)  Game Developer Interview w/ Billy Basso (February 2022)  Nintendo Life Interview w/ Billy Basso (December 2024)  Upcoming Games:  We, Junk Artists (August 6th)  Horse Magnifier: The Full Horse (August 10th)  The One Fish (August 12th)  Dreamcards (August 19th)  Music: Bit Forest Intro music by Bertsz -- https://freesound.org/s/545457/ -- License: Creative Commons 0  Follow us on bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/eati.games  Watch Annie and Robin stream games! https://www.twitch.tv/parallelplayers   Listen on our website! https://eati.games
