Pursuing Pixels

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' After a bit of a hiatus, Randall was back on the podcast last week for the first time in a few months—he's done with school for good now, so it's nothing but video games from here on out... :) All kidding aside, it was great catching up with Randall last week—so much so that we ended up chatting for 2+...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Randall is back on the podcast this week after knocking out the remainder of his chaotic school schedule—he and Kevin don’t miss a beat, so let’s talk about some video games! Kevin kicks things off with a couple of games that he was playing with his little cousins while back home in Michigan for his Brother’s wedding recently—along with the obligatory Mario Golf:...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we’re joined again by game developer extraordinaire, dev_dwarf , to chat with him about his work —which we’ve raved about many times before on the podcast...even when he wasn’t here! :D We’ve been huge fans of everything that Dwarf has been doing ever since we first got our hands on Lianthus , a mysterious action adventure released alongside his Noisy B...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, Kevin is the only ‘Pixel’ in the building—but our pal (and incredibly talented game developer) dev_dwarf was gracious enough to spend some time chatting indie games with us before we dug into a deeper discussion/interview with him about his games & process, which will be out next week! We’re obviously big fans of what the folks over at PUNKCAKE Délicieu...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!' Before we get the video game chit chat going this week, Kevin gives some quick updates on a few new things we've got going on... First things first, it's been an absolute pleasure having the guests we've had on the show recently, and we're looking forward to bringing you more conversations with some of...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’re back at it again this week, kicking things off with one of Kevin’s most anticipated releases on Nintendo Switch this year, Mario Golf: Super Rush .  Unfortunately, it’s a pretty big time bust in his opinion...but there is always hope for things getting smoothed out in future updates—at the very least, it’ll definitely be nice to see some new courses! Kevin’s...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, our friend (and also a game designer & composer) Megan Carnes joins us once again, this time to chat a little more about her work ! We dig into all sorts of different topics with Megan this time around, including a dive into her first game, inter-view , her musical background and influences, the logistics of balancing life and work as a freelancing arti...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  For this episode, we are joined by game designer & composer (and our friend), Megan Carnes !  She’s sitting down with us this week to chat some video games, per usual, and will be joining us again next week to chat some more about her work … But before that, John is still on his Warhammer 40,000 kick, as he’s now made his way over from the tabletop to the PC, as h...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we're joined by Rémy Devaux , who is 50% of newly-formed indie dev duo, PUNKCAKE Délicieux , alongside veteran game designer Benjamin Soulé .  They're going to be releasing a new game every month on their itchio page ...or you can snag all of their games at a discounted price via Patreon subscription —and the games will eventually be coming to Steam, as...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Kevin and John are keeping the video game train rolling this week, although John’s dipping his toes into a little tabletop action, as well… But before we get to that, John is still spending loads of time with Monster Hunter: Rise and itching to sync up with some pals for an online multiplayer session—we’ll definitely have to check back in (again) once he does some...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  This week, we’re talking about a bunch of stuff we’ve been playing on Nintendo Switch lately, before getting into a nostalgia-fueled discussion at the end of the episode.  Let’s get started! John kicks things off with his thoughts on the latest first-party release from Nintendo, New Pokémon Snap —who would’ve thought we’d see the day where this game would exist!?!...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels, and welcome back to another edition of 'Save it for the 'cast!'

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels. We’re a little less jam-packed in regards to quantity this week, but we are MORE than making up for it in the quality department, with some seriously top-notch games on the docket  this week...so, let’s go! First things first, we’ve all got BOBA fever!  This awesome little precision platformer from indie dev trio, Casey MacNiel , Dalton Leavy , & Connor Grail is an...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We're trying something a little new this week, after announcing a slight change to the format of the podcast at the beginning of last week's episode!  We'll be bringing you our traditional, 'core' episodes on a bi-weekly basis, while every other week, we'll be bringing you a multitude of other gaming-related goodies—conversations from the cutting room floor, guest...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’ve got a whole bunch of games to talk about this week of all shapes & sizes, so let’s get right down to business! John kicks things off with an update on his ongoing adventures in Monster Hunter: Rise —he’s seen the credits roll at this point, but that doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near being done with this game!  Sounds like there is ALL sorts of post-game goodne...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We are ALL over the map this week after celebrating our Two Year Anniversary, so let’s get this show on the road… First things first, John’s got a new laptop!?!  He hasn’t had a PC in ages and can’t wait to start combing through all of the (many) games he’s accumulated over the years through various bundles, crazy Steam deals, free Epic Store goodies, etc.  No Man...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  It’s hard to believe it’s been a full two years since we started up this project!?!  We’re gonna break the mold just a little bit this week and take a little time to discuss some of our favorite games that somehow haven’t come up on the podcast yet.  But before we get to that, we’ve got another franchise we need to revisit… On the very first episode of the podcast...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  Can you believe we’ve been at this nonsense for (over) 100 episodes?!?  We’re not doing anything special for the occasion this week—we’ll be celebrating our Two Year Anniversary on next week’s episode—but we do have a bunch of recently released & relevant games to talk about for a change, so let’s dig into it! We kick things off with Pac-Man 99 , which surprisingl...

From there, DJ fi...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We’re itching to dig into some ‘retro gaming’ goodness on ALL fronts this week, so let’s get right into the action… Kevin kicks things off with an awesome new indie arcade game, Satryn , that is heavily inspired by retro classics like Robotron, while simultaneously leaving them in the dust—this one is still a work-in-progress, so we’ll definitely be keeping you up...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  First things first, if you happen to notice John sounding a little different this week, his computer decided to record the audio from the mic built into the laptop—but we’ll just pretend he needed to keep his distance from his latest trek into the ‘Souls’ franchise, with Dark Souls III .  With that note out of the way, let’s get on with the show… Kevin kicks thing...

Welcome back to Pursuing Pixels.  We've got all sorts of video game goodness coming your way this week, so let's start the show...
