Long time game developer Logan DeMelt joins this episode of SML to chat, so let’s get this show on the road!
The show kicks off with Jacob Garner & Aki both on hand to welcome Logan DeMelt, Design Program Manager for Reality Labs to the show! We chat about his entire history in the gaming world, jumping from company to company conquering the gaming world all the way up to his time with Meta now! Plus talk about Toy Soldiers, statues, horse games, cats, record labels, movie references, and tons more! It’s a really fun chat worth listening to!
After a bit, we segue into news and Logan sticks around for that to discuss the latest PlayStation Plus and Xbox Games with Gold lineups for February, future Call of Duty games remaining on PlayStation (for now?), EA’s new Star Wars titles that were announced, a new Crysis, some Artifex Mundi de-lists, a Rumbleverse delay and a Hyper Scape shut down, Monster Trucks coming to Hot Wheels Unleashed, and news on the Steam deck release! Plus reviews!
