The SML Podcast – Episode 356: Moss Talk

Chris Alderson of Polyarc Games joins this episode to chat about their upcoming Playstation VR game Moss!

The show kicks off with Chris joining us to discuss Moss, a PSVR third person action adventure game starring the most adorable little mouse I’ve ever seen in a game, Quill! We chat about the creation of the game, the origins of Polyarc and setting out from Bungie, the challenges of developing a VR game compared to non-VR, how badly we’d want a Quill plushie, and lots more!

After Chris heads out, Cole and I move on with the rest of the show discussing news of the week including Xbox Games With Gold for March and new Xbox BC titles, Burnout Paradise Remastered officially being announced, tons of Switch news, and a derailing of the show when Rhode Island’s proposed M rated game tax comes up. Plus reviews!

Rad Rogers is an old school 2D action platformer with some fun M rated touches from Slipgate Studios & THQ Nordic. Claybook from Second Order is a unique sandbox (claybox?) game now on Xbox Game Preview. Jurassic World Pinball brings three dinosaur infused tables to Pinball FX3 from Zen Studios.

DarkMika sends in a review of Past Cure, a cinematic mystery searching for the missing pieces of your mind from Phantom 8 Studio. Xenon Valkyrie+ is an addictive rouge-lite action platformer from Diabolical Mind & COWCAT. Shoppe Keep lets you run the RPG storefront of your dreams from Strangefire Games & Excalibur Games. Defender’s Quest: Valley of the Forgotten DX is a fantastic tower defense/RPG hybrid from Level Up Labs.

We end the show with three tracks from Jordan “bLiNd” Aguirre!
