Geeks & Grounds

New jobs can be rough -- but your new job as the fisherman of The Marrows (and beyond) turns out to be more than you may have anticipated. In Dredge, a single-player fishing adventure, you'll dive deep in to a world with a sinister undercurrent. Fortunately, we have the developers of Dredge - the team at Black Salt Games - to talk us through what it's been like making the game, and provide some insight as to how they hope the horror comes alive for you as you play. 

Find out more about Dredge by visiting the official website: dredge.game

You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world. Joel and Jenny get to chat with Abby and Tony of Black Tabby Games to see exactly what inspired the incredible premise of Slay the Princess, as well as where the game may go from it's wild demo chapters!

Bugsnax. A game about an island with sentient snacks that change you as you eat. A story of a community driven apart but then brought back together. A wild blend of Pokemon Snap, Adventure Time, and Lost. It's all of those and more: listen as we deep dive our April selection for Geeks & Grounds. Time to make connections between Bugsnax and our lives! Let's brew some good conversation. 

This week, Jenny and Joel get a chance to talk about Bugsnax with Kevin Zuhn, Creative Director and Writer for the game! They dig into the rhyme and reason for naming each food-inspired critter, lore from before the Grumpuses came to the island, and why sometimes, maybe you should reflect on the "why" of what you're consuming...snack or otherwise.

This month in Geeks & Grounds, we immerse ourselves in the world of Loka City and discuss the journey that Atma, Raya, and Nirmala take in A Space for the Unbound!

Grab your favorite cozy beverage and settle in! In today's episode, Jenny and Joel talk with  Dimas Novan, the creative lead and one of the artists of this month's game: A Space for the Unbound. 

In their conversation, they'll talk through the importance of place and time in the game, how community and sense of self can impact well-being, and why petting cats is one of the most important elements of the game.
