  • Just found these gals a couple days ago and I already adore this pod! It has such a welcoming feeling, just warm & cozy vibes. It's almost like finding an old friend you didn't even realize was missing from your life. I've found myself leaning more and more toward indie games over the last couple years and they have excellent discussions about what their newest ones are. Makes me wanna play every one they recommend.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Indie Game Roundup - June 2026 feat. CGDannyB
Q: How did CGDannyB come to join the episode, and what's his background with indie games?
CGDannyB explains his background in indie game news, reviews, and co-hosting Playlog, and shares how he enjoys showing up for genuine conversations about indie games, often tying his content to events like Summer Game Fest and Steam Next Fest.
Indie Game Roundup - February 2026 feat. Neha Patel
Q: What's it like transitioning from long-form game audio work (like Venba) to quick-turnaround trailer work for Slay the Spire 2?
Trailers are intense and fast-paced; you work with pre-existing assets and focus on delivering punchy, visceral sounds that match the direction, then hand it back for quick revisions.
Indie Game Roundup - February 2026 feat. Neha Patel
Q: How does collaboration across a distributed team shape your sound design process for All Will Rise?
We have regular reviews, and the team— programmers, artists, and writers—contributes ideas. The process is highly collaborative, with frequent meetings and a willingness to iterate based on feedback to keep the soundscape aligned with the game's narrative goals.
Indie Game Roundup - February 2026 feat. Neha Patel
Q: Could you share a little about how you determine the soundscape for a deck-building game that's so narrative-driven?
The sounds have to feel authentic to the setting and not overwhelm the abstract card mechanics. I focus on atmosphere, authentic regional cues, and working closely with programmers to implement hooks in Wwise, refining through feedback with the team.
Indie Game Roundup - April 2026 feat. Kyle Stephenson, Six One Indie
Q: What can fans expect from the upcoming Six One Indie Showcase on May 21st?
A big, curated showcase featuring 61 games across diverse genres, with previews by Kyle and collaborators, a dedicated Steam event, and a showcase landing page linking to each game's page for wishlist and details.
