In this episode of Turn Based, I'm joined by some new friends to discuss the importance of nostalgia when looking at HD-2D remakes. Are companies running out of ideas? And did gaming and media peak in the 90s?

In this episode of Turn Based, I had the great opportunity to chat with Paige aka FemTrooper who is a fellow Earthbound enthusiast, parent & YouTube content creator. We chat about why we love JRPGs, some of our favorite games and series, what JRPG is perfect for the little ones in our lives and why side quests are SO bad.

There's a brand new JRPG on kickstarter right now called Alzara: Radiant Echoes and it was funded within 48 hours! I had the great opportunity to interview Emma, the creative director of Studio Camelia (the developer of Alzara) to discuss the development of this game, what exactly goes into putting a game on kickstarter, and why she decided jump ship from some of the bigger game developers to pursue her dream.
