  • Basically perfect. Definitely listen to this all the time.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been so thoroughly charmed and amused by a podcast in my life. Subscribing has never been such an easy choice and I doubt it ever will be again.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

802: Better an Isopod than a Capitalist
Q: Who are you and what is Isopod about?
Junebug explains that Isopod is a 3D platformer about a rolling bug protagonist fighting back against a capitalist invader, emphasizing teamwork with other bugs to push back against oppression.
795: The Island Episode
Q: How did the concept of Isle of Feathers first come out, and what sparked it?
The idea grew from Daniel's background with birds and animals and a gradual realization that turning that interest into a board game could work; the duo prototyped with paper, then refined through collaboration and testing, while being influenced by friends and local Brisbane game developers for playtesting and feedback.
795: The Island Episode
Q: Has Isle of Feathers drifted much from the original idea?
Yes, the core concept of a tile-laying, bird-themed game has stayed, but many mechanics and the presentation have evolved to create a more puzzly and tactile experience while preserving the bird-on-island theme.
Gamers Together Strong
Q: What game turns Adrian into a gamer?
Adrian names his formative experiences with Crash Bandicoot and Mega Man on the Game Boy, highlighting how early platformers shape preferences and gaming identities.
Meow Meow Meow
Q: How do you design puzzles like that?
Puzzles are built around core mechanics, with some ideas arising naturally from how the game's systems interact, and each puzzle aims to present a clear path that twists in a way that requires players to rethink what they think they know about the mechanics.
