July 23, 2024 E61 (S3E2) - Developing Developers
Jam-packed with creative-thinky things, this episode dissects the traits of board game developers and all the depth, faux-depth, context, and contextless crazy logic trains that run through our "brains". We ponder quickly if these are good things (and decide: they totally are). Things then turn to a broader discussion on the struggles and agonies (excuse us, "nuances") of being a creative team.

July 23, 2024 E60 (S3E1) - Defending the Vibe
You know how people are, like, people, and how that can be *rough*? And then you put people on the internet and...oof? And then, you know how you make creative projects and share them with people on the internet, but sometimes things don't go according to plan, and all those internet-ing people have big big feelings about that? This episode is about all these things. More specifically, it's about navigating truly brutal feedback, overly intense criticism, and well-intentioned situations threatening to turn toxic. A regular topic on our Discord, we can think of no better way to start this new season of the Outpost than diving straight into the question we get asked most frequently: "How do you deal with this $&#@ with such grace?"

Back after year long-hiatus, we are very excited to be back in your ears, talking about all the behind-the-scenes things happening at Orange Nebula.
