For episode six of the podcast, Jason was joined by voice actor Sally Beaumont.

Sally has been a staple of video game voice acting, starring in many high-profile games including Harold Halibut, Loco Motive and Old Skies.

Sally was very kind to spend some of her spare time to talk about her time voicing Fia from Old Skies and on voice acting itself. It was a fascinating and fun conversation that we hope you enjoy listening to.

We also had questions from the community, so thank you to Astronoluke and Louie for the questions featured in this episode.

In this episode, some of the So Many Games crew sit down for a roundtable discussion, with the hope that not only will you get to know us a little better, but also for us to get to know each other a little more too.

Tofr, Kurosh, Michael and Erik sit down with Jason to discuss their other projects and gaming histories, and each brought one of their favourite games to discuss.

Hopefully the rest of the crew – Matt, Jacob, Elsa and Steven – can make it onto a future episode.

For episode four of the So Many Games podcast, we are joined by two fantastic people.

Firstly, So Many Games writer and podcaster Erik Lunde joins in the fun as co-host on his first appearance on the podcast.

And for our second guest, we were delighted to welcome the amazing Jenny Windom!

In the first half of the episode, we chat about her many projects, including the Wholesome Directs, her podcasts and being a classroom teacher!

In the second part we discuss three indie games that have left important impressions on Jenny. Those games were 1000xresist, The Outer Wilds and In Stars & Time. We get into why these games are so important to Jenny, as well as Jason & Erik sharing some of their thoughts too!

*Important Note*

When we first started making this podcast, we were determined to make these as video podcasts. Over the last three episodes, our naivety has shown that this way was a much deeper time sink than we ever thought. So we have come to the decision to prioritise the audio version over its video counterpart.

We will still release on YouTube, with a custom video, but the production of the video will be heavily scaled back. We apologise if this causes any disappointment, and we wish we had more time to dedicate to it, but sadly that is not the case. Many thanks for your understanding and we hope you'll continue to enjoy our podcast.

Episode 2 of the So Many Games podcast is filled with Ultros goodness as we welcome the narrative designer of the game, Pelle Cahndlerby and the writer of the upcoming Lost in Cult Design Works Ultros book, John Rogers, to the show. The first half of the episode focuses on the Ultros design works book, how John got involved with the project, what to expect to find inside the book, and that mightily impressive deluxe version.

The second half concentrates on the development of Ultros, how Pelle tackled the writing of the game and its many characters, plus a bunch more amazing chat on the game. Many thanks to Pelle and John for taking time out to join me, and below you can find links to their social media and other projects.

After finishing Citizen Sleeper 2, we were bursting to talk about our experiences. So, Jason and Tofr did exactly that, and so The So Many Games Podcast was born.

Here, we discuss the original game before jumping into a spoiler-filled chat about Citizen Sleeper 2, our experiences, the new additions to the gameplay, how we felt about them, and much more! We would like to thank Fellow Traveller for very kindly sending review codes for Citizen Sleeper 2. It was very much appreciated.

[Important Note]

Although we knew and respect Gareth Damian Martin's pronouns before recording, there are instances where Jason refers to Gareth as "he” in the video. We would like to mention that Jason meant no disrespect to Gareth, and Jason always strives to recognise the importance of people's preferred pronouns. We apologise if this causes any distress to Gareth or to anyone else.
