    [Ep513] Locked & Loaded

    This week, we talk about golden builds, crabs, and slippery fish. Some weapons in Crashlands 2 have a catch, literally. If you manage to hook one of these powerful items, you might find that they’re hard to hang on to. Every so often they’ll slip out of your grip mid-swing, and if you don’t snatch them out of the air, they’ll vanish! It’s part combat, part slapstick chaos, and entirely on brand.

    [Ep512] Sequel Struggle

    In this episode, we discuss development time, co-op, and sequel iterations. Turns out, building a sequel is less about stacking on new features and more about wrestling the original into shape. Sometimes you circle all the way back to where you started, just with fewer regrets and better tools. Support Crashlands 2!

    [Ep511] Final Stretch

    This week, we talk about the beta wrap-up, player stats, and endgame design. The end of a game is where things get weird. Players want closure, but they also want more to do. There’s a fine line between sticking the landing and overstaying your welcome. Support Crashlands 2!

    In this episode, we discuss edge cases, string lock, and embargos. Press keys are out, and now it’s a trust fall. Will the embargoes hold, or will spoilers make it into the wild?

    [Ep509] Median Madness

    This week, we talk about median playtime, weapon balance, and revisiting our older games. From chaotic co-op antics to echolocation-based platforming, our game jam experiments were always a blast, even if they were never quite commercially viable.

    [Ep508] Game Hooks

    In this episode, we discuss meatloaf, odd strategies, and player engagement. Striking the right balance of clarity, depth, and enjoyable interactions keeps players hooked, but doing it at every level is a challenge. If all else fails, add a fishing minigame.

    [Ep507] Testing Grounds

    This week, we talk about beta testing,design tweaks, and the wild gamble of launching a game. No matter how much planning, testing, or iterating goes into making a game, launching one is always a leap into the unknown.
