Hey Dreamers! Adrian here.
It's been a while! We've had our heads down both working on the game as well as other life stuff, but we've emerged back into the light with a new podcast for you, and covering two topics! This time we're talking about the ways we're talking about our approach to taking content such as our levels, enemies and hazards and how we can remix them through out the game to keep the game full of variety throughout the whole experience. Then, we talk about the Pie Eaters, the candy obsessed clowns that await Nemo & Peony at the end of the Mushroom Forest, from there AI pattern, how the player will fight them and where/how they'll reappear later in the game. It's like two episodes in one!

We're looking forward to producing more episodes soon, so be sure to let us know if you have any questions or topics we haven't covered yet that you'd like to hear more about!
Until next time,

Hey dreamers! Adrian here.
This week, I open the discussion with some questions I had for Chris and Ben about the level structure and flow of the Mushroom Forest biome we're actively working on. These simple questions branch into discussion of our approach to pacing and level structure, from sub-biomes, environmental hazards, potential sub-quests and more!

There's also a bit of semi-related discussion on Zelda dungeon design, in case you're into that. Also; new intro and outro, as mentioned last week! As always, let us know what you think or topics you might want covered in future episodes!
Until next time!

Hey Dreamers! Adrian here.
In this week's episode of our brainstorming podcast, we're talking about the designs and inspiration behind some of the strange enemies players will encounter in Nightmare Fiends! If you've been curious about the Pig-Chicken, or racking your brain to figure out what a 'Slithy Tove' is, this episode is for you! We talk about our personal inspirations, where certain creatures appear in the original comic, other contemporary media that McCay could have drawn from, and more! It's a really fun episode and I think you're going to enjoy it!

For this episode, you may notice some volume dipping in the intro, but it isn't present throughout the episode as it's a symptom of attempting to improve the overall audio quality of the show - shout out to community member Pearacidic for help and tips on improving the quality. Moving forward, I'll be recording a new intro and outro to match with the new process I'll be using to mix the audio on the podcast in the future, so that's something to look forward to for next time!
Until then Dreamers,
