In this episode we’re doing things a little differently as instead o speaking to an adventure game developer, Seoirse speaks to DevGAMM CEO, Maria Chyrvona. Maria talks all about this conference which is taking place in Lisbon on 14th and 15th November and she tells us what we can expect and how they are focused on helping indie game developers promote their games as much as possible. She talks about the speakers, DevGamm awards and events happening at the conference this year and much more!

And if that wasn’t enough Maria and her team have very kindly offered two free tickets to the conference for podcast listeners! But since we’re adventure gamers we need to offer some sort of a challenge. So to be in with a chance of winning you just have to answer the following question:

“In which hotel is DevGAMM Lisbon taking place in 2024?” Hint: answer is on the official website...

The first two people who email the correct answer to [email protected] will win a free ticket to the conference so if you are interested in attending (and why wouldn't you be!) then make sure to send in that email as soon as possible! Good luck!

That sound you hear is the thunderous crash when two giant podcasts collide as this week, Paul Korman, co-host of the Classic Gamers Guild podcast joins Seoirse on the Adventure Games Podcast to talk about, what else, classic adventure games. Gold Rush and Broken sword are indeed mentioned a couple times as well as others and they discuss the different qualities of Sierra and Lucasarts. They also talk about both their respective podcasts and what they enjoy and the challenges they experience and how Paul and his co-host Anna Vigue continue to come up with topics on classic adventure games every two weeks for their podcast.

If that’s not enough then Paul also talks about his new adventure game, The Phantom Fellows and what players can expect in terms of story, puzzles and how he learned to make an adventure game after co-hosting a podcast for a few years.

What’s this? Two review episodes in one month? That’s right! There are so many adventure games we want to talk about that we have added another episode where we review the latest adventure games we have been playing. And what adventure games they are! We go back in time as we review two retro adventure games. Firstly Matt. Johnny and Laura discuss the text parser mystery game from Julia Minamata, The Crimson Diamond. Inspired by The Colonel’s Bequest, we discuss if this game stands on its own. Then we also review survival horror game in exploration mode, Crow Country. Also heavily inspired by survival horror adventure games of the 90’s but Seoirse reviews the no combat exploration mode so he discusses whether he believes if this game can, uh, survive without combat.

Not to be outdone thank goodness Laura is here to review Thank Goodness You’re Here as she talks about this comedic adventure game set in Yorkshire. And finally Johnny reviews two new games. Firstly he talks about devil’s Hideout, the third adventure game released by Cosmic Void this year! And finally he reviews Thalassa: Edge of the Abyss, a new detective game set under the ocean. All that and much more!

You don’t need to look far to know that the games industry is going through a difficult period right now. While some triple AAA games may be making more money than ever the reality is that with layoffs, crunch and a myriad other reasons a lot of people in the industry are struggling. And you just need to take cursory glance at Twitter to know how much more toxic that has become. But how did it come to this? Was this always inevitable? And what can we do to make things better? To help answer these questions and more gaming insider and author Marijam Did joins Seoirse in this fun, lively interview to discuss these topics and her upcoming book “Everything to Play For” and just how we can make the gaming community a better and safer place for everyone.

Nowadays in particular it’s become normal for developers to make truly fantastic debut games such as Norco and The Case of the Golden Idol to mention just two. But it’s hard to think of anybody who has made their mark as much as Tom Hardwidge, one half of Tall Story Games. Along with his wife Emma Hardwidge, who also voiced the main character in their debut game, they took the adventure game community by storm with their debut game Lucy Dreaming. But now they’re back with their new game Heir of the Dog. With a hugely successful Kickstarter which was funded in less than 2 hours and made close to 5 times its goal it’s clear their success is going to continue.

Tom was kind enough to speak to Seoirse last December which is why none of this is mentioned but he does speak in more detail about what we can expect from his upcoming game Heir of the Dog including the story, gameplay, puzzles and he talks about his philosophy regarding puzzles and how much help should be given to players and he also has enough time to talk a little about his time voicing the main character in Guga’s game The Will of Arthur Flabbington. All this and much more!
