Episode 38 - Exploring Atari 50's First DLC w/ Digital Eclipse

Friday, September 27, 2024 • Duration 01:14:29

Two years ago, Atari and Digital Eclipse released one of the greatest odes to video game history Atari 50: the Anniversary Celebration. Turns out there's a lot more story to tell, thus leading to two announced DLC for the darling title. Joining me to dive into the first installment of the DLC, The Wider World of Atari, are Digital Eclipse's Dave Rees (Software Engineer), Dan Amrich (Content Editor), and Stephen Frost (Head of Production). We talk about what led to the creation of the DLC, how a Gold Master narrative gets constructed, and then end with a thrilling game.

Episode 37 - Producing Yars Rising w/ Mark Perloff

Friday, September 13, 2024 • Duration 54:40

Mark Perloff is no stranger to this podcast, but has yet to be the subject. Until now! Being the lead producer on Yars Rising, it seemed like a great to bring him on to learn more about his journey to Atari, pry for some behind-the-scenes insights into Yars Rising, and then ask a slate of random questions that I love to do so much.

Enter Alan-1, the team that's bringing the franchise full circle back to Arcades with plenty of surprises along the way. We cover a lot here, including the background of Alan-1 themselves and what makes their first in this collaboration, Asteroids: Recharged, so unique and worthy of your quarters.
