Another year of great games! All "four" of your hosts gather in the freezing clubhouse to talk about some of the nicest games of 2017. They decided that they couldn't ALL talk about Zelda and Mario for the whole episode so each of them picked exactly two games to highlight. Mark is on brand, Stephen makes some ambitious resolutions and Martha totally didn't cheat the system.

This week, your nice hosts get into it. Stephen is split on everything, Mark is the bad guy, and it's all Martha's fault.

Stephen and Mark talked about their Ludum Dare 40 game, Widget Satchel, which Martha played on last week’s Nice Plays episode!

Game Designer Damion Schubert posted a thread on Twitter about how to do loot boxes ethically. Mark was not convinced.

Your nice hosts interview Ben Burnes, sole developer of recently released Color Jumper, to discuss the process of finally releasing a game, and the lessons learned along the way.

Color Jumper is available on Steam right now! You can try it out on the itch.io page

Ben talked about how every last 10% of work is another 90% of work, and so on. But don’t worry, because 0.999... is equal to 1!

Ben Burnes is a game programmer, artist, musician, and cat lover. His game Color Jumper was recently released.
