Eitan Glinert of Fire Hose Games joins this episode of SML to discuss their game 20XX!
The show kicks off with Eitan joining us and things immediately go off the rails as discussion quickly turns to pets, roman numerals, and New Yorkers with southern accents. We also chat about their new game 20XX, the Mega Man inspired rougelite action platformer out now consoles! We chat development, the decision to go with rougelike elements, and then we keep getting distracted and talking about dumb stuff. It’s an awesome chat for sure!
After Eitan heads out, it’s news of the week including some Xbox Game Pass additions and upcoming departures, new additions to EA Access, Origin Access, and the Xbox Backward Compatibility list, an update on Rocket League cross-platform parties, Nintendo’s insane indie games goal, and tons more!
