Nice job on the interview. Always interesting to hear all manners of stuff from a developer making a game for a Nintendo system.

What a cool episode. As someone semi-curious about game development, I'll definitely be looking into Construct 2. Also, Twisted Fusion is sounding more and more like a very comprehensive and impressive experience- I can't wait to play the finished version!


Also a great now playing segment, which kind of hit home about the aspects of Bravely Default's grind that are so aggravating. If the game has sub-systems to make the combat system less tedious, they're trying to circumvent a core issue with the nature of their gameplay that should just be better in the first place. There are a number of games that make their grinding engaging and fun- Bravely Default just makes their tedious combat more bearable.


Anyway, I'm going to look closely at each of these Retroactive nominations before casting a vote. It will suck if the one I vote for isn't picked, but all of them already sound great and I am excited to play no matter what.

About making your own games for beginners, I would suggest trying out Project Spark. Especially now that it is now free on PC and Xbox One.

I made a Bit Trip Runner inspired game last year. It was an enjoyable experience. Its pretty easy to use and there are lots of tutorials out there.

Great to have Lewis on the podcast. I think he gave the best insight and info into game development (from the ground up) that's ever been given on RFN. Thanks! :) Hope he'll make another appearance someday.

It feels like Jon is getting a second (or seventh, by this time) wind or something. He's just bringing his A game every week. Some weeks he seemingly doesn't have a lot to talk about, but spins gold regardless. And he set a new goal for everyone on RFN to reach for: Make a podcast he likes better than NPR! ;)

I feel sorry for Gui. It feels like he's really having an existensial crisis when it comes to videogames. It seems like almost everything he tries, doesn't turn out the way he wished. His controller will turn into ashes in his hands if this keeps up for much longer.

Thanks for the kind words MASB. Things in Nintendoland seem to be veering towards the absurd and ridiculous, which is moving right into my wheelhouse.
