Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO

Storytelling is key in some games but pretty optional in others. IF it needs a story it often ends up making or breaking the whole game itself. DJ Daemon sorts out four major storytelling mechanisms that are commonly found in the business.

Being wrong is no fun, but it’s soo easy. This episode jokes around about the incorrect stuff I said during the fall of 2020 and even puts the very idea of calling it “Errata” on a podcast in question. So it’s time to question our correctness and sanity. Maybe being wrong is ok, but what if you let a crazy mad scientist style cryptographer doing it on a IT-security podcast? Daemon shudders when he...

Mixing it up by combining the New years eve and New years day broadcasts in a totally seamless podcast. DJ Daemon goes through the Amiga year of 2020 without mentioning the war (which war?), the American election OR too much about the Corona. Relax and enjoy music never heard on the station from the Amiga module-scene and a few stories about:Ibrowse 2.5.3.Vampire V4 stand aloneThe war between Cloa...

Dr Awesome is a staple here, but today’s podcast plays the remixes that you don’t get to hear on the station otherwise. For one hour we reimagine his old Amiga modules with modern synthesizers and the effects to match. Not much to say, but a lot to experience. Best heard on high volume or with a decent set of head phones at a comfortable level (don’t damage your hearing!!).The remixes are by the g...

Tropes! The way we put game mechanics into tiny little boxes and the love or hate them. So, what’s a Trope?– "a significant or recurrent theme; a motif."Example: "A movie is often built around the "Hero’s journey" Playlist: 00:00 Jingle - Top of the hour - Good evening 00:05 DJ Daemon speaks. 00:32 Amiga - CONVENTI 02:25 DJ Daemon speaks. 03:34 Amiga - super mario land 05:47 DJ Daemon speaks. 07:4...

Xmas time! This is the three hour long show that we’ve been waiting for. Broadcast during the Forndata-event, it features some commentaries from me finally losing the battle to Whamming, the cool weirdness that was the demos released and a lot of discussions about the CDTV and the CD32. Those two ultimately failing Commodore projects with vastly different starting points. Why did they fail and wha...

Today we’re just lounging and remember the first times. It was magical the first time you felt her in your hand. … What are you thinking about?? I mean the Amiga and the C64! DJ Daemon speaks about the first time seeing a module played on Noisetracker and when he directed Seagreen BBS users to his BBS. And then, the question is how you shouldn’t really wear a mask in Corona times. Obviously it’s j...

You fought the good fight! The baddies are dead and blown to smithereens and the fair maiden is by your side throwing ever loving glances at you. And then? “Conga-rats a winner is you. The princess is in another castell”. The message drives you to the wall. “I fought 30 hours for this!!! WTF!!!!”.” Playlist: 00:00 Jingle - Top of the hour - Good evening 00:05 DJ Daemon speaks. 00:38 Amiga - CALL_D...

Sunday is here and today I talk demos, why EVACUE failed and the disqualified entry at the Gathering 1994 plus why Cannon Fodder does not glorify war. Correction: Evacue’s last demo was in august 1994 and not 1995 as I stated.

Today, the history of everything ERICADE is on the menu. Daemon delves into the worst mistake in his life that he almost did, why there was nothing wrong with the listening counters and why the Corona built this station.

Setting the stage for the show with a nice Swedish potpourri, searching for the lost module and discussing why Overload has nothing to do with porn! Errata: The “unknown/lost” song was found by our listener Bittin_: it’s called “I Thought It Over” and was created by “The Master”.

The “pilot” or pre-sequel-whatever. The show that started the wild idea of having another podcast. Because we need one… Or do we? I did not know it would really become a podcast later, so it had no name really. Just felt like making a voicetracked show for no apparent reason . Coreus from Retro Spirit suggested I started a Podcast, so I did… All later episodes correctly bear the name “Amiga Flashb...
