Sup Holmes every Sunday!

[Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great video games. It airs live every Sunday afternoon onYouTube, and can be found in podcast form onLibsynandiTunes.]

One of the things that I love about doing Sup Holmes is getting to meet people who helped pioneered indie game development 20-plus years ago one week, then getting to know their metaphorical “children” the next.

Such was the case with these two episodes. First we we got to knowAlex Austin, programmer on IGF-winning, physics-based platformerGishand creator of the gun-jamming, crime-loving, psychological tactics shooterSub Rosa. Then weeks later, we got to meet the mysteriousPunches “Hunter” Bears, a man using many of the game design philosophies pioneered by Austin over ten years ago to bring Danny Devito, a chainsaw wielding bear, and a floppy burrito-loving man to life. What a treat!

Thanks to Alex and Hunter for hanging out with us, and be sure totune in today at 2:30pm ESTwhen welcome James and Joar, creators ofRain World, yet another violent, physics-based adventure game with random elements. It’s going to be great!
