Time for another fun chat as we welcome the team from Graphite Lab to the show this episode!
The show kicks off with Jacob Garner, Aki, and a visiting Bri “LadyMagritte” Galgano on hand to welcome Graphite Lab Founder & Studio Director Matt Raithel and Senior Programmer & Game Director John Mikula to the show to chat about their new Atari release Mr. Run and Jump! We chat about the development of the game, going from Atari 2600 to modern consoles, what games they’re playing, and St. Louis band Gravity Kills gets yet another SML shoutout.
After the guys head out, it’s news of the week with the latest lineups for PlayStation Plus, Xbox Games with Gold, and Nintendo Switch Online, the PS5 hitting 40 million sales, Tencent investing in yet another studio, a reported Ubisoft cancellation, new Game Mill releases, and tons more!
