Sky Pirate Radio

Welcome to the hot-to-trot, ALL VIDEO GAME DEVELOPMENT PODCAjust kidding, we spent bloody ages talking about the new paradigm in Mike Myers-centric comedy television, The Pentaverate! That's right, everybody: it's all Pentaverate talk from this point on, nothing else is gonna be talked about. At all. AT ALL. Like, sure, whatever, we go into the good word about our games like GETAWAY GRAND PRIX and OTHER UNANNOUNCED (!) goodies, we talk KIRBY a little bit, in particular, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the hot new switch game, and the ways it goes about evoking that classic pink puff platforming we all know and love, and hey, SURE, a little Elden Ring talk. Every podcast has to talk about Elden Ring! Elden Ring, Blippi, question-and-answer from fans young and old on the Oddbodz—these are all the targets you have to hit to make a successful podcast. But we duped you. We're sorry. We're truly sorry about this, but everything we do is now about the Pentaverate and how interesting that all is. But hell! No time to stop and think about it now. We're on the road to our 50th anniversary podcast baby! ROLL with the punches! SWING with the changes! Life is what you make of it. Life is SKY PIRATE RADIO!

Look: here's the deal. I'm sleepy. I was terrorised by a swarm of mosquitos last night that didn't let me sleep. It could have everything or nothing to do with the PS2 Ubisoft game "Rayman M". But none of that matters—not anymore. Not when it's 2022 and your favourite Australian Independent Video Game Development Funny Boys are BACK IN TOWN! We catch pace with our heroes progress, now adding the finer, final-er touches to their HIT AND HIP new game, Getaway Grand Prix, but that doesn't stop Kevyn from prying open his old game-tomb, exploring the hallowed archives of the Kirby series to inspire the design of future projects, and he played Inscryption too but mainly just because it's a bit fun. Jace played a veritable grab-bag of glad-wrapped game goulash of the likes of Breakout Recharged, Knight's Try, Lost in Random and other games the cursory player would look down their noses and hock a loogie at. I guess we talked a lot about the Muppets too (You can see them there, in the thumbnail—those are some of the Muppets, in action!). But don't take MY word for it, no: heed them aurally! HEED SKY PIRATE RADIO: IT MAKES THE MOSQUITOS STOP BITING!

Here is what one might expect in the TRIUMPHANT RETURN of our intrepid duo, Jace and Kevyn: the announcement of the Sky Pirate Studios Patreon and all the goodies therein; their efforts to make a Game Boy horror game in ten days; Getaway Grand Prix, Lamplit, and future projects; Kevyn's Game Boy mania and Psychonauts 2 nit-picks are addressed; Jace is just sort of flying around in Immortals: Fenyx "Breath of the Wild" Rising.

I'm not gonna mince words, here-we get into some wild, heady territory in Episode 46 of our video game podcast. Talking about where we're at and the hurdles we're overcoming developing GETAWAY GRAND PRIX. Kevyn learns a things or two from Brawlstars and Annalyn and learns NOTHING from Mario Kart Tour, while Jace winds back with Dragon Quest 8 and controller chat. The return of two of gaming's greatest mascots, Super Mario and Crazy Frog, is at the tip of our lips and dances across our tongues. Lastly, we get into Hideo Kojima's sun-based Boktai, with a NEVER BEFORE SEEN, life-quaking event for Game Club. It must be seen to be believed, and must be heard to be witnessed. Sky Pirate Radio!

Another jubilant episode of Sky Pirate Radio! Join Jace and Kevyn by the fireside as we get into the latest in our games Getaway Grand Prix and Stocks & Swords, answering some age-old questions about Help! I'm Haunted, coming to grips with the new age of megacorporation battling between Apple, Google and Fortnite and playing and chatting about HOT GAMES like Panzer Paladin, Wolfenstein, our Game Boy Color Game Club Star Ocean: Blue Sphere, and God, even more than that. You just wouldn't believe it. Isn't that what SKY PIRATE RADIO is all about?

Come witness our emporium of delights in the latest hip-centric episode of Sky Pirate Radio! Getaway Grand Prix AND Stocks & Swords gamedev updates, Jace reaches peak human performance in Ring Fit Adventure, Kevyn takes a squizz at Min Min in the new Smash Fighter Class and the World Ends With You: Final Remix before taking a look back at Kingdom Hearts 3. Finally, everything goes wrong in our stunning conclusion to the Austin Powers Saga as we ramp up to a whole new era playing Star Ocean: Blue Sphere for Game Club. It's a new dawn, and Sky Pirate Studios is only taking the BRIGHTEST of futures.

YEAH, BABY, YEAH! SKY PIRATE RADIO IS BACK! With their premier shock-jock style, Jace and Kevyn touch base on the latest in gaming software and technology through the lens of Australian comic sensation (?) Da 'n' Dill, before quickly getting to the meat of things with an almost half-our discussion of the first feature in the Hanna-Barbera cinematic universe, SCOOB⁠—and its apocalyptic implications. Kevyn becomes a king-of-sting as we lay down the latest news on PS5 titles, including the announcement of a very special The Lord of the Rings game, before we dive headfirst into Kevyn's newest addiction: Pokemon Cards and Atomicrops. Jace finally comes home to roost in the anime worlds of Sakura Wars and Final Fantasy XIV. And, finally, after 43 episodes of Game Clubs, something truly unprecedented happens upon our exploration into Austin Powers Pinball for the PS1. It must be heard to be believed, and to be believed it must be heard; that's just Sky Pirate Radio in a nutshell, baby.

This podcast has a frightening, sparking, manic energy that cannot be contained. This podcast is about videeo games. Join us for the latest on making the new characters and art for Getaway Grand Prix, the Cats film-watching experience and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Headline News pays tribute to new Paper Mario, PS5 tech demos and the untimely demise (?) of the great international spy of all time. On the games front, Kevyn is exploding space ships in Catastronauts, Slayin' (2), and finding himself outnumbered in his newest find in the Pac-Man Clone Safari, Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. Jace, meanwhile, is deliriously tired, somehow managing to talk about the joys of Streets of Rage 4 and the horrors of Resident Evil: Code Veronica in between before they headlong tackle Game Club with the Metal Gear-em up, Never Stop Sneakin'! Sky Pirate Radio: the ONLY video game podcast... you can dance to. 

Rumours aplomb in the 41st enticing edition of Sky Pirate Radio: Jace and Kevyn speak word of their past lives working in escape rooms; talk of our BRAND-NEW city tileset in Getaway Grand Prix (and the power that comes as consequence of it); an EXCLUSIVE update on the status of our project Blazing Barrels; grooving into the Headline News with a cryptic conspiracy surrounding Super Mario Maker 2 Worlds, Animal Crossing breaking the bank and Tom Hank's blood; Kevyn moves on from his past sins in the Magic Kingdom and reigns over his Tetris 99 throne; Jace sweats and heaves in Ring Fit, has an exciting update for all the Snack World fans out there and prays tell of Professor Layton's World of Crime; and, finally, we chat sticky hands and crab battles in our game of the week, Simon Quest's Transylvanian Adventure. Sky Pirate Radio is a AAA podcast, alright—ALL AUDIO ACTION!

Our two most friendly game makers and players celebrate hitting their flirty forties the only way they know how: talkin' about those precious little games they love so much! At the top of the show we rip into the latest in drifting technology in our new game, Getaway Grand Prix before ripping into our new segment, HEADLINE NEWS, in which we explore the peculiar events surrounding Cooking Mama: Cookstar and the rumored possibility for the for the return of the WiiU, and, thereby, Nintendo Land, with second-screen Switch support. We talk a short reprieve from gossip-gathering and rabble rousing as Kevyn rips into NES Online and goes wild for the simplistic and effective design of Excite Bike and Devil World while Jace gets poisoned by Resident Evil: Code Veronica and healed by Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (and Snack World). The boys tango with the deceptively difficult Game Club, ZX House Attack, and wrap things up answering a few questions about our biggest inspirations for our latest projects (Garfield Party not included). Never be afraid to take control and sieze the day with a rambunctious new episode of SKY PIRATE RADIO!
