We are closing out 2025 with a double-feature episode packed with fresh tech and big game energy. First, we sit down with Napoleon Smith (CMO, Cubios) to break down the WowCube, a modern twist on the classic Rubik’s Cube that turns nostalgia into a fully loaded, interactive device, complete with games, apps, customization, and a real push into STEM learning.

Then we link up with Tom Eastman (President, Trinket Studios) to talk Battlesuit Aces, a story-rich, fully voiced, mecha-anime-inspired card battler that blends deckbuilding, visual novel storytelling, and deep customization into one cohesive ride. We dig into how the team iterated their way to the game’s core identity, why characters became the “cards,” and how themes like found family, community, and care show up in the design.

To wrap, we reflect on the year, show love to the community, and look ahead to what we are bringing into 2026, including year 13 of Spawn On Me and some big ideas we are exploring for the future.
