We’ve got the whole crew from Soft Not Weak joining this episode to chat about Spirit Swap: Lofi Beats to Match-3 To, so let’s get this one going! Also, Soft Not Weak really wanted the episode title to be A Tale of Two Titties, but I chickened out. <3
The show kicks off with Jacob Garner, Bri Galgano, and Aki on hand to welcome Spirit Swap Lead Producer Jenny “kimchica” Windom of Soft Not Weak coming back to the show for another visit and this time she brought backup with Lead Programmer Morgan Lavelle and Lead UI/UX/Audio Rejon Taylor-Foster joining as well, and later in the show we even get Creative Director Alex Abou Karam on the call! The whole team is here! It’s a big hour filled with chat about the game, the soundtrack, creative decisions, the puzzle mechanics, high scores, favorite games, and tons more!
After a quick intermission tune from meltycanon, we return with the news of the week including the shuttering of Monolith Productions and Player First Games from Warner Bros, not to mention the cancellation of Wonder Woman! We also talk about the Fable delay, a fantastic lineup of PlayStation Plus games for March, a PlayStation VR2 price drop, Balatro news, Dauntless shutting down, movie watch, and tons more. Plus reviews including AVOWED, provided to the show by Microsoft for our coverage!
