Pardon us for the low sound quality, but this episode was recorded LIVE on board Hikari 465 to Himeji. Taylor and Rett spend a lot of time talking about the cultural difference between Japan and the US, all the places they’ve visited, the things they’ve seen. Check our twitter, linked below, to see some of their pictures!
Japan was an absolutely amazing experience, and we are so excited to share it with you. If you can’t enjoy this episode due to the sound quality, then check back in a few days for the follow up episode when Taylor and Rett return home.

Taylor and Rett are back with a packed week! This episode was recorded in 4 separate segments. On August 4th, in preparation for the Enjoy Game Dev Conference, they hosted the One-Mechanic-Game Jam, or OMGJam. They dissect their entry, then play and discuss the other entries.
Enjoy Game Dev was hosted on August 5th and was a fantastic time all around. All speakers were great. It was very motivational, informational, and most of all a fun time! Taylor took detailed notes, so make sure to look at the links below for everything that happened this week.

Rett saw Wonder Woman, so naturally Taylor and him talk about Hand Maid’s Tale…. and movies. The DC film universe is discussed. Which leads to story and narrative driven art. They share their favorite Pixar shorts. And their favorite story driven video games.
Another shout out to Rockzom for chilling (this episode was recorded way before he was on our show!) and to PixelPileDriver for giving some great pixel art tips on our live stream.
Major shout out to Coffee with Butterscotch a fantastic, hilarious, all around great game dev podcast on youtube AND itunes. go check it out!
URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT!
This week on Friday, August 4th, we are going to be doing a one day game jam and invite and challenge everyone to participate and create their own games! It’s called the One Mechanic Game Jam. Read all about it on the link below. But the idea is to create a game using one playing mechanic. When you are done post it on itch.io and tweet us using the hashtag #OMGJam.
