Sup Holmes every Sunday at 4pm EST!
[Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great videogames. It airs live every Sunday at 4pm EST onYouTube, and can be found in Podcast form onLibsynandiTunes.]
Good news, everyone! We’ve got some outstanding Sup Holmes reruns for you to enjoy on this fine Sunday afternoon. First up is our talk withRobert Yang, the creator ofSucculent,Stick Shift,Cobra Club, and many more. We talked about Robert’s motivations, the popularity of his “spank a man” simulatorHurt Me Plentyin Japan, his dreams of completing a game that’s a cross between Porco RossoandAnimal Crossing, the ERSB’s harsh judgements on erect penises, and a lot more. Robert also made fun of me occasionally for talking about how straight I am (about 9/10 on the straight-o-meter) and I deserved it.
We also have an episode with Ditto, the creator ofhets(available onCurve Digital’sIndie Mixtape) and a variety ofother explosive, colorful delights. Our conversation happened just as Ditto was finishing upKryp, his new one-button multi-player shooter. He concocted that the game while in the warm embrace of Stugan (Sweden’s premiere scholarship-based video game incubator program), a summer event that sounds like literal heaven on Earth. We talked about why he’s reluctant to charge for his work, the idea of doing aSplatoonfan-game, and a lot more.
Thanks so much to Robert and Ditto for being on the show, and feel free to tune in today at 4pm EST when we welcomeNicholas McDonnell (Screencheat) to the program. We’re giving out codes for some Wii U and 3DS games too, so that’s neat.
