GGTL says: "Side-scrolling action titles just so happen to be one of my favorite genres in the business. Unfortunately for myself, they've gone by the wayside since the Super Nintendo has come and gone. Sure, there's been a sprinkle of titles here and there, like Shadow Complex and Outland, but it's only temporarily satiated my unquenchable hunger for more Metroidvania-esque games. Arcen Games seems to share my curse and thus is offering up their game, A Valley Without Wind, to help break it once and for all."
Arcen Games, which had just released Starward Rogue to much positive reviews, had to lay off almost all its staff, effective from this coming Monday.
Chris Park: "Postmortem sounds so grisly, doesn't it? I was tempted to call this a retrospective, but that sounds a bit foofy. So here we are. This isn't even a true retrospective, because AI War is still going strong and looks to remain that way for some time.
The time period this postmortem will examine is May 2009 through the end of May 2013."
A great video game chat for you today. theMulticast is joined by Josh and Chris of Arcen Games. These guys know games and come from a great history of them. They bring with them their newest game, Skyward Collapse. This game is something else. Skyward Collapse truly makes you feel like an all powerful...A-hole. We get to the bottom of what makes a videogame difficult and challenging yet at the same time rewarding and fun.
Listen to these gamers drop knowledge while you can. I'm sure my constant fighting with @Corib3ar scared them away for life.
