This episode is 10% game development, 90% Pokémon, and 100% shame. It may seem like this episode is also 200% late, but we’re not talking about the usual turkey holiday, we’re talking about Thanksgiving II, the lesser known second one. We’re right on time for that. Hope everyone enjoys Thanksgiving II!

“Pet That Dog” was in an exhibition! Catherine Fox talks about prepping her game for the Dizzy Spell show in Denver, and Esteban ports the bicycle game to the Web. There’s some Halloween talk, and some pontificating on spoilers and trailers before getting back to the important stuff: talking about how good Promare is.

FLOOD WARNING!! TOO MANY GAMES CAME OUT IN SEPTEMBER!! Batten down the hatches, defend your time, and don’t have too much fun!
Catherine and Esteban have no end of games to talk about. Sayonara Wild Hearts! Later Alligator! Control! Untitled Goose Game! Link’s Awakening!
Today’s big questions: Are lo-fi graphics cool? What happens when Catherine has fifteen minutes to make music five years ago? Do any mattress companies want to give Esteban a free mattress?

Part 1: White Clouds
-Horsebow Moon-
As cold air begins to creep in from the north of Fargus, the podcast hosts know that the dog days of summer have ended, and welcome the riches of fall.
Fire Emblem has been defeated, but the ghosts of the game still haunt Free Wi-Fi. Can these ghosts be harnessed… for bicycle races??

Fire Emblem!! Fire Emblem!!!!!!! Let’s min/max some stats as Catherine and Esteban take on the role of professors in the new Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and reflect on their time as students.

Oh, have you wanted Esteban and Catherine to talk more about game development? The Monkey Paw… it curls…
Free Wi-Fi has been goofing off for a while now, but not today! Today is ALL BUSINESS. Fox has created the framework for a dating sim using Ren’py, and Esteban did some mumbo jumbo with spreadsheets. Sounds pretty different! But, are their two games… converging???

It’s an emotionally charged episode as Catherine and Esteban literally and figuratively battle through some final dungeons!! Will they make it to the end, or will they be defeated?? Things look grim, but hey, at least they are talking about JRPGs instead of just Pokémon! That’s improvement!
Don’t give up, Fox & Fajardo!! And don’t give up on us, dear listeners – NEXT TIME: we’re making videogames

It wasn’t long after the Pokémon phenomenon first crashed on American shores that schools began banning all things Pokémon from playgrounds. As we stand in the midst of a Pokémon resurgence more than two decades later, the hosts of Free Wi-Fi would like to honor their childhood experience by banning Pokémon from this podcast for the rest of all time. We clearly talked about it too much last episode, and we will not do that again. There are games to make, and episodes to record where we talk about it!
But first, Esteban gives his third (and final?) game studies book review. Fox talks about making an expanded sequel to her dog petting project.

In this very serious episode we dive into the deep philosophical questions that plague our modern times. Are Pokémon real? Should we open these limited edition collectable Detective Pikachu cards? Are books good?
Esteban’s book recommendations this week are “Situational Game Design” by Brian Upton, and “Fun, Taste and Games” by John Sharp and David Thomas. Fox recommends Stellaluna and the Rainbowfish
Our theme song is by Clover & Sealife. The Jigglypuff sound effects are provided by Esteban’s Jigglypuff, which is real and lives in his house.

Fox and Fajardo call up a friend to help them with their greatest weakness… producing! Mike Effenberger is a producer extraordinaire, having worked on self-published indie titles like Ectoplasa for the Wii U, to mega-blockbusters like COD Black Ops 4. In addition to bequeathing a fountain of wisdom, Mike is also responsible for gifting Esteban the skeleton that has been haunting the last few episodes.
