The Official Harmonix Podcast

The Harmonix Road Warriors (Jessa and Annette) are joined by a stay at home office blob (Aaron) to recap their recent trip to San Diego Comic Con and mentally prepare themselves for upcoming trips to Gamescom and PAX. It’s a solid run down of what we’ve shown for Dance Central Spotlight and Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved and what we’ll be showing later in the summer. If you won’t be able to catch us on the road you can tune in for the next best thing!

The Amplitude team stops by the Harmonix podcast to let us know what they’ve been up to since the Kickstarter’s been funded. Get an update on development, a sneak preview of design ideas the team is kicking around, plans for the game’s soundtrack, and hear about that one time during the original Amplitude days where DeVron almost got into a fight. Sort of.

The Harmonix crew takes a break in between convention travel to welcome our brand new officemates, the fine folks from Proletariat, Inc! We dig into their awesome game *World Zombination*, run down our travel plans for the summer, and we learn a little bit about each other… and ourselves.

We did it! We all made it out of E3 in one piece! Except for Pope, but he’s a leper. Join us for our first show back from E3 2014 where we discuss the recent announcement of Dance Central Spotlight, the sheer joy of demoing Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved, and the weirdness of meeting famous people at giant industry events. Chuck Liddell, magic, the Lieutenant Governor of California, gummy bears… this episode has it all!

With Dance Central Spotlight just announced, it was a perfect time to sit down with Project Lead Matthew Nordhaus and Designer Alli Thresher to get the scoop! Tune in to hear all about (and we seriously mean ALL about) the new cool things we’re doing this time around. Get the inside track on the characters, the vibe, the talent, and the crazy shenanigans that have kept us busy every day of development so far. No, but seriously, there’s all sorts of warm fuzzies in this. You’ve been asking about a new Dance Central title and we are psyched to deliver!

It happened. We did it. After a rough and tumble 18 days, we got Amplitude's Kickstarter fully funded!! The gang sits down for a short show to talk about how exhausting running a Kickstarter truly is.

On this week's show we sit down with John Drake and Amplitude Project Director Ryan Lesser to chat at length about remaking Amplitude, as well as our new mobile game, Record Run!

The stalwart crew of the good ship Harmonix has returned home from another PAX East, their stores laden down with riches and a fanciful song in their hearts. Delight in their retelling of adventures past, of myriad panels, parties, and announcements! Their bold triumphs are sure to thrill and inspire all listeners, from enthusiasts of electronic entertainment, to fans of frivolity. Here be dragons.

The keynote speaker for PAX East 2014 was our own CEO, Alex Rigopulos. Instead of hearing the usual crew yammering, we though you might enjoy to hear Alex's talk instead! If you prefer to SEE as well as HEAR, you can check out the video, embedded below!

With PAX East a mere week away, the Harmonix Zoo Crew is preeeeeeeetty loopy. Tune in to check out our gradual meltdown as we realize Harmonix folks are hosting two parties, the keynote speech, and making appearances on TEN different panels. Plus, get some essential deets on Disney Fantasia: Music Evolved, Chroma, and how to properly pronounce Aaron and Erin.
