00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.200
Hey Magic Makers, I'm Mombi Rella.
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:49.119
Juju Jones here.
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:50.719
And I'm CJ Peterson.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:57.119
Get your wands to the ready because we solemnly swear we're up to no good.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.039
And speaking of to no good, we got lots of things coming up today.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:15.920
First of all, allow me to be the first to welcome you into fall officially because as of 7.04 today, Central Time, 8.04 Eastern Time, it will be the fall equinox.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:23.439
So welcome, Paul! Yay! So I'm gonna go real quick through.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.480
I'm gonna give you a quick preview into October.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.000
Spooky season is coming.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.319
We all have our little spooky stuff coming on.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.480
I have my witch in charge shirt on.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.079
Mandy Rella has her Dracula shirt on.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.879
Her sparkliness going on down there.
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.319
We have for October coming up at an October sneak peek.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.079
We have Sister Alice Singulat with her YA Urban Fantasy.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.599
It's actually a little creepy, not gonna lie.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.319
It's pretty creepy.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:05.120
David Lee Home, actor and writer, Shane Glasgow Purgatory Screen Park, and we're gonna wrap it up with our course Art Week of Nerd Talk.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.640
That's your October preview.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.680
Next week we have Creative Journeys Michael Baught.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:18.319
I'm gonna give you a little teaser and letting you know that it has nothing to do with DD and map making, and it's not what you think.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.039
I'm gonna leave it there.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.599
Um it's not quite what you think it is.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.560
Uh what you think it is is not what it is.
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.719
Uh Super Hubby is here.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.800
Uh Cousin Marissa is here.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.759
Super Hobby says love spooky season.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.840
Uh, cousin Marissa says, love you guys.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.960
Love you too, cousin.
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.159
Uh Zachary says, what's good?
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.680
Lots of stuff is good.
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:50.719
Um, speaking of stuff that is good, we have a special guest with us today, Kamal Bussel.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:51.919
Did I pronounce the right?
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:52.719
Yes.
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:53.599
Hello, everyone.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:54.960
Welcome, Kamal.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.400
Happy to be here.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:02.159
He happens to have a really cool game called Gravity's Edge.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.319
So, for those watching, would you mind explaining what Gravity's Edge is?
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.199
You guys have seen the video that I put out, but allow you to explain exactly what it is.
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:12.800
Certainly.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.840
So, Gravity's Edge is a little bit of a mashup game of a few different genres.
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.840
You can think um Mario Galaxy 2D form meets sort of like Zelda.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.759
Um, so in its in the story mode, especially, you're on a quest to find your father.
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.240
You're a 14-year-old boy on a journey uh through the cosmos.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.360
You'll meet uh interesting characters and get uh interesting powers, explores puzzles and some physics concepts.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.840
Um, but it also has a um another mode in there, more arcade style.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:53.759
Um, and that one's a more survival-based um, and there's the basically two games in one because even the survival game's a three-hour so experience.
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.719
So it's a it's a pretty big game.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.400
Now, my understanding there's like three hundred and some planets on there.
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.400
Uh yeah.
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.039
Uh in both modes, you have roughly 300 planets to uh explore.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:16.000
Um, and try to do my best to make them all unique planets, so they all have their own unique gravity, uh, you know, look a little bit.
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.600
Um, there's uh some planets orbit each other.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.160
Um, so planets have super dense gravity, some planets are on fire.
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.480
Um just exploring different types of uh worlds that exist out there.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.680
Nice, very cool.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.560
I've been other, I don't know how you come up with 300 different planets.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:33.759
That's pretty wild to me.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.959
I don't have a shiny diamond planet.
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.759
Show us the sparkly pink planet, of course.
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.279
With unicorns floating around in the atmosphere.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
So, okay, it's available on uh Steam, right?
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.000
Is that the right that's correct?
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.560
It's available on uh Steam right now.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.079
Um uh I think it's only like eight bucks, seven bucks, something like that.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.720
So it's you know, not too bad for an indie game.
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.040
Um and uh yeah, you can check it out.
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.040
So is the how how does it work?
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.319
Do you have to download it onto a computer or can you play it just through it?
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.800
Is it specifically for computers, or how does that work?
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:17.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.199
So Steam is the main way people play uh games on computers these days.
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:30.560
Uh back in the day, I guess we would uh go to like CNET or something like that, or so or some old school website and download the game through like a zip file or something.
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:39.279
And uh but these days everybody just uses Steam, and Steam uh you just go on your computer, um, it's on Mac or PC.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.920
Uh and when you download the game through there, it just boots it up for you.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.480
Um and it tracks other things too.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.920
So it's not just like you get the game, it has like achievements um and other stuff that it has.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.560
Uh you can do like remote plays so you can like um share the game with your friend.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:03.680
So if you have a friend who also has a game, they don't even have to buy the game, you can play the co-op because the game is two players.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.279
Um you can play with your buddy and they can just join in for free.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.079
Can you can you play it on Twitch?
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.399
So you can like play with your friend uh over Twitch.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.000
You can play it on Twitch, and not only can you play it on Twitch, it uh has Twitch integration.
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.480
Uh that's a that's a fancy way of saying your chat can mess with you and make you lose faster.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:34.720
Um so yeah, it has uh Twitch chat integration so that uh the audience can sort of participate while you're playing the game.
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.560
Oh, that's very cool.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.920
Uh Jazz says, hello M3, mildly entertained that everything is about to be pumpkin spice.
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.120
I believe it's I already started converting, just saying.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.800
Um so what gave you the idea for this game?
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.560
That's a good question.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.959
So I'm a big fan of sort of sci-fi.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.759
Um, you could think Battlestar Galactica, or you can think uh the Expanse.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:05.519
The Expanse is probably one of the big ones, uh a big uh part of my sort of recent sci-fi love.
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.120
Um, but it also has um a lot of homages to other video games.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:16.000
So um games like uh tunic, uh games like Outer Wilds.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:21.040
A game uh Outer Wilds is a game about being in outer space and trying to figure out puzzles in space as well.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:35.279
Um and so uh it really was a homage to a lot of things that I love while also exploring physics and concepts that um I hadn't really seen in other games, so just trying to make the game fun for me as well, basically.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:35.600
Yeah.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.199
That answered my question.
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.920
I was wanting to know what inspired you to want to do that.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.920
And you said because there wasn't a game out there like that.
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:42.879
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:43.680
That's awesome.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.839
So, tricky question, did you code it, or do you have a friend that coded it?
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.800
Or I coded every single part of it.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:59.439
Oh it is uh not using a game engine, so it is actually all written by me.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:07.439
Um the reason I went that route was to sort of um for one, test my own self.
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:21.040
Uh I've been in the game industry for a long time, but also to be able to properly simulate all the planets um and get everything that I wanted exactly the way that I wanted without having to worry about any friction.
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.399
So I decided to sort of hand build it.
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.680
Uh Super Hubby says two things.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.920
He says Hard of Battlestar Galactica is over 40 years old.
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.879
And then he also said kudos to the coder.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.960
Hands down, I agree.
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.679
Right.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.039
That's a lot of work.
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.159
So, uh do you have any other new games in mind?
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:56.720
Uh I have something new in the works, but it's not super ready yet for the reveal, but it will be revealed for Steam Next Fest, which is in October, which I'm sure is a big thing with you guys, right?
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.679
Um, so uh yes.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.600
So next month, uh the next game will be uh revealed.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.480
Nice.
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.720
Um, can we get some generic hints?
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.360
Not specific, just generic?
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:23.440
Um it's in a similar vein, a survivor game, but it's gonna hit some pinpoints of just about getting rich.
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.360
Um nice.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:34.080
I sort of like games where it's kind of like, you know, a lot of games are very um about fighting and battling stuff.
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.000
And in this game, you kind of battle a little bit.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.679
There's pirates that come.
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.840
Uh, but I feel like every once in a while you just want a uh a feel-good game about just making it big, hitting the big time.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.639
So this is about hitting the big time.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.480
Well, you guys heard it here first.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:48.720
Yeah.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.279
Um, congratulations, super excited for you.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.519
Do you have a release date on that?
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.000
Uh no release date yet, but okay.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.559
Um more will be revealed uh next month.
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.080
Hey, congratulations.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:07.279
So pay attention to his Instagram, which is down there, and that is Quiet Warrior underscore.
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.480
So make sure you get that underscore at the end, and that's down on Instagram.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:15.600
I'm sure that'll be released down there, the release date will, I'm sure, be announced on that.
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.200
So make sure it's on there.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.639
Um, Trevor Super wants to know is there a way to win the game ultimately?
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.559
Meaning the one that's currently out.
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:29.200
Um, for Gravity's Edge, story mode has seven different endings.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:38.559
Uh so if you want to say that you're you're fulfilled, uh, just get one of the endings in story mode, and that'll be pretty fulfilling.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:48.080
Um uh survival mode also has an ending, um, but uh that that one will take you a little bit more time than a story mode.
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.480
The story mode's a little bit more straightforward because obviously characters are sort of guiding you and telling you what to do.
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.080
Whereas uh survival mode's a lot more uh open-ended.
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.600
Your best goal though would be just like if you don't know how to beat it, quote unquote, get the highest in the leaderboard.
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.320
There is a leaderboard um and sort of global, and it's you know, every season.
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:15.120
So you can see, I think right now the highest is wave 19, uh, with one person beating the the game, uh beating survival mode.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.919
Um, but if you did like you know, wave 18, that'd probably be uh pretty satisfying as well.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.279
Cousin Marissa is super excited.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.559
Me too, girl.
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.720
So okay, I have a quick question too.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:32.000
Uh Galaxy's Edge, how long did it take you to make this since you did all the coding basically yourself?
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.720
That's a lot.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.679
Um, so yeah, Gravity's Edge, it's I started February of last year.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.240
Um, and so you could say about a year and a year and a some change.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.080
Uh, because I released uh in May of this year.
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:56.320
Um, and then you know, since May of this year, I've I've still done uh lots of like updates and added stuff, right?
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:03.200
Like the Twitch integration came and some other good quality of life stuff came after the release.
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:03.919
Gotcha.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.360
In the grand scheme of things, that's not a long time to build.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.759
I actually was expecting it to be longer.
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.120
I'm I was too.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.120
I was like, I was gonna hear like five years in the making, finally, no.
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:15.679
Really?
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:27.039
What I was challenging myself, so I was uh I'm trying to think of a yeah, so Sonic, I'm sure we're all familiar with Sonic.
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:36.879
I was trying to challenge myself in the same way as the original devs of like Sonic and Sonic 2, and they used to make games in about a year or a year and a half.
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:47.120
Oh wow, every three years, so you only had a window of about a year or two to get your game out before the next generation of console come out.
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.600
So I was sort of challenging myself to do it in a year, year and a half.
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.360
Um inspiration.
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.879
Okay, I guess there you go.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.879
So I was definitely uh putting my back into it.
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:06.799
Uh but yeah, like um as with all things, with more time, it you know, I'm still working on it, right?
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.519
Like I'm it's released, but I'm still doing the updates and stuff like that.
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.279
So I think uh the lay's update went out on Monday.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:22.159
Uh so now when you do an update, does it just automatically go across all systems, or do you just have to notify each person that has one that you're aware of?
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.000
As long as they have as long as they open up the game, it will have the update.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.879
Okay, cool.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:34.320
Uh Super B says, awesome love to be a able to be a winner.
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.240
Kind of spread across both.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.039
And Jess is wondering where my friend Jeremy is.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.159
So, Jeremy, if you're listening, he'd like to know where you are.
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.679
Where's Jeremy Vander?
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.480
Okay, I know.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.039
Where's Jeremy Vander, our maker of our wands?
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.240
Our beautiful wands.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.879
Yeah, since 2024.
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.960
He doesn't get an ad so he gets on here, though.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.080
So he's gotta get in the chat.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.399
So I but I want to ask this real quick too.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:02.559
So here's my thing in games, there's always something that the creator puts in there that they want people to find.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:09.440
Is there anything in there that you you would suggest that they look for or something along those lines specifically?
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:16.000
Uh if you're in story mode, um that one might be a little bit harder.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:30.720
There's some secret stuff in story mode, um, but it's all sort of locked and hidden away in ways that you would have to really play the game through and through, maybe get some of the multiple endings to sort of see some of the crazier things.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:37.360
Um, but I will say for survival, there is there's actually a lot more Easter eggs in survival.
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:46.720
So if you see anything related to like a cassette tape, you know, maybe that'll eventually turn some music on, or if you see a little cute chicken, maybe you should hang out with the chicken a little bit.
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.720
Maybe that chicken will eventually follow you.
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:54.240
There is uh there's some cute stuff uh hidden inside the survival mode for sure.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.120
Oh, cool.
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.639
I like little Easter eggs.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.120
Uh Jez says, glad to see Super Happy.
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.960
Um, super happy had surgery last week, so super happy get better.
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.879
Um, so yeah.
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:06.799
So can I ask a quick question?
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.519
Sure.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.919
Uh who's supposed to be am I Gryffindor?
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.720
Like uh what's going on?
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.200
Oh, I am Ravenclaw.
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:13.759
Okay.
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.200
Um she's Hufflepuff.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.000
Yeah.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.840
This one is Slytherin.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.879
So the question is, have you taken a house quiz?
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.879
Do you know a house you belong to?
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:34.480
I mean, I I feel like Gryffindor is getting left out, so I'm I'm so we have a fourth co-hostess, so you can see her in our logo, and she's usually our Gryffindor.
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.080
Oh, so the question is, what is your personality?
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:43.279
Or um you seem creative, so actually I would probably put you in Ravenclaw personally.
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.519
Okay, I would I would I would put you as an on-rare Ravenclaw with me, but that's me.
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.200
You see really sweet.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.159
Yeah, there's a lot of baby huffles.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:59.360
He's more creative, and so I would put the creativity in in Ravenclaw personally.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.279
I mean, okay, the coding and everything.
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:09.200
There's a lot of that, but also, you know, Slytherins are are very cunning, and I feel like that it takes a lot better to come together with 300 different worlds.
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.320
Uh he's got the wisdom and the creativity.
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.080
I would still put him in Ravenclaw.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.399
Okay.
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.279
I'll give you a hug if you're not going to be able to do fighting over.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.120
I like this.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.279
No, I would put him in Ravenclaw.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.279
I would say it's more Ravenclaw.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.759
All right.
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.679
That's where I would put him.
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:35.519
We are big fans of the Potter More quiz, the official Harry Potter world, the one that they have online when it comes to like picking your house.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.039
But sometimes you just identify because Harry picked his house anyway.
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.320
So I didn't know.
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.360
I was like a Harry Potter.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.840
Which one would you choose to be in?
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:52.799
Usually, usually like the Ravenclaws are the creative, wise, you know, the more witty, that sort of thing.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.960
How about it?
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.279
I think I'd I think I'd be a Gryffindor.
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.120
You said that's going to be given to you.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.279
You may choose to be a Gryffindor.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:01.679
Yeah.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.640
Then you are an honorary Gryffindor this evening.
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.599
Yeah.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.039
That is what you shall be.
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.400
So welcome to the Gryffindor house this evening.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.039
Oh, Kita would be so happy.
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.440
And she how do Ship doesn't not even be here?
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.400
Right.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.920
Right, she wins.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.240
I know, right?
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:24.799
She wins.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.480
That is like that's like superpowers right there.
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.359
Oh my goodness.
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.279
She's got the mental thing going on.
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:39.839
He's Gryffindor, he's Gryffindor, he's Gryffindor, and he's not even She left her her essence of Gryffindor behind for their stick away.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.160
There you go.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:43.680
Oh my god.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.920
So after this one launches, do you have any ideas for any new ones coming in?
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:54.400
Um besides the secret one that I'm leaving a little bit.
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.240
The super secret one, yeah.
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:01.599
Increasing you have like a list set up somewhere of ideas, basically.
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.599
Like where do you get your ideas?
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.960
I guess it's more the question.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.680
Yeah, I think I have like a backlog of video game ideas at this point.
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:14.400
So there will be lots of games uh to come in the future.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:20.400
Um uh the more successful I am, I guess the more time I can dedicate to them.
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:29.119
Uh but yeah, I think the next one uh stands a fair chance of being uh as equally successful, maybe even more successful.
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.799
Um and then yes, I have I have uh idea for game number three-ish.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:45.039
So I already have mobile games, I'm not including that, but for PC games, Gravity's Edge is the number that's my my first baby when it comes to being on Steam.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:51.519
Whereas I have several other mobile games uh that are more um a little bit more casual.
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.759
Like I have a Domino's game, uh Solitaire game, and I have a Ludie game.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.160
Ludy is kind of like sorry or trouble, uh-huh.
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:04.400
But these games are all have like Caribbean flair and uh nice.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.640
Is there a place they can find the like um the mobile games?
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.599
Are they just available in the uh mobile game app stuff?
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:24.720
Yeah, they're in uh yeah, they're on uh so yeah, so Castle Games, which is me, uh does Gravity's Edge, but I also uh Moonlit Studios is my mobile branch of also me.
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:34.480
Uh and Moonlit Studios has all the mobile games of like the Caribbean flare, where Castle Games is more the hardcore gamer on PC.
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.119
Okay, so here's a qu here's a question.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.559
So I started like I'm I'm agent.
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.240
Uh I will own it.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.519
I started with Atari.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.920
Like Space Invaders, all that fun stuff.
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:55.279
Um as games got more complicated, I started running like Mario into walls, and I gave up.
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.720
Not at Mario, no! Yeah, I yeah, I run Mario into the walls, so I gave up.
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.279
Um now I I when we were doing like Andretti, I killed it on the dragon game.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.160
Um so my question is so just don't make me drive into walls and I'm good.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.400
Give me like the air and I'm I'm fine to fly freely in the air.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.279
So my question is when did you start gaming?
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.799
Uh the generation after Atari.
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.799
So then pre-Nintendo, like getting the Nintendo was like a big deal.
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:39.440
Uh so I was gaming before Nintendo, um, but basically that era.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.680
What was your earliest gaming system?
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.960
Uh a console called the Socrates.
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.640
Oh wow, not super well known because it's an educational console.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:51.039
Right.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.240
Whoa.
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.359
Education games on it and stuff like that.
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.880
Um so I don't think it's super well known.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.160
Um, but that would be technically my first console.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:10.079
Uh and then I don't know if we had something in between, but Nintendo was definitely the one when we got it, we were like all super excited about it.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.920
Oh man, I I know that feeling.
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.319
I was 10 when I got my first Nintendo.
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:29.759
Um so mostly I was gaming on like old school Macintoshes in the library and stuff like that, uh, before getting the Nintendo, um playing some super old games.
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.200
I really like the Olympics.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.599
We used to put them on like the floppy discs or the hard drive discs and put them in there.
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.319
That was fun.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:43.519
And then for library games, like in in school, getting to go play the games in the library, even the educational ones are so much fun.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.119
There it's like the Oregon Trail.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.759
The Oregon Trail was another good one.
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.160
Yep.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.839
Yep, I always died.
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.839
I did too, mommy.
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.279
We wouldn't survive.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.359
It's like everybody slowly died off.
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.759
You know, your sister died, your cattle died, your mom I was like, okay.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.559
I'm just nobody safe around me.
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.480
Never mind, I died, so everybody's safe.
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.039
Oregon Trail.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.400
Does anyone survive that game?
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.119
I'm serious.
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:09.920
Like, honestly.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.960
Yeah, I don't know anyone that's not.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:11.920
Of course you did.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.880
Of course you did.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.039
I don't know anyone that's beaten Oregon Trail.
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.359
She said there's a Raven Claw test right there.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.079
I did.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.759
You weird.
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.640
Oh.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:27.680
Oh my goodness.
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.119
I would be like, why can't we stay where we're at?
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:43.359
Again, but I I grew up with Atari, so I learned all the background stuff, and you learned like the little tricks and chips.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.599
And uh by the way, cousin Mrs.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.240
Mommy.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.440
Um I did, I eventually beat that sucker.
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.519
Um persistence is key.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.640
Um just saying.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.480
So speaking of Mario, uh I just couldn't.
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.559
The next game is going to sort of veer.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:16.960
So now I've done my Mario type game, and I get some some a lot of like adults uh don't like picking up the controller if like a controller and like jumping at all.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:24.079
As soon as they like have to jump or there's like a platform or something, they're just like, no, no, I've suffered enough with Mario, I'm never doing this again.
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.680
So that's why the next game I'm doing has no platforming.
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.880
It's gonna be more in the uh vein of getting rich and like management.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:38.480
Uh let's say there will be a little bit of combat, but like the next game is about getting hitting the big time.
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:50.000
So I'm definitely trying to get a lot more uh gamers that uh shy away from the platform, trying to get a little bit more of that bigger audience with the next the next venture.
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:54.799
A different different uh niche, basically like genre kind of setup.
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.279
That's cool.
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.599
You had me when when CJ said it had a flare of D D.
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.880
I was like No, no, that's wait, really?
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.759
Yeah.
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.279
Oh his game.
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:07.119
This is a flare of it in there.
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.279
No, that's the next guest.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.279
That's next week's guest.
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.039
Oh, I thought you guys.
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:17.039
I was thinking I was like, Wait, sorry.
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.599
You have me at all those other games that you were talking about on the mobile.
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:25.680
But that's an idea for you, Kamal.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:26.319
Oh yeah.
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.599
Next one, next next one on the list of ideas.
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.599
Because that that's a whole other niche right there.
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:34.960
Yeah, that's true.
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.519
That's true.
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.880
That that that you would have me at, I'm just saying.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.680
I know plenty of people that would go for that too.
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:51.599
Like not have to uh oh if you could do it for like you could do it with friends like the other one, like but like all over.
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.400
You would have like people all over Twitch, like I'm telling you.
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.839
Okay, sorry.
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.279
Anyway, now my bad by the way.
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.359
Uh so here's my question putting roads together that way.
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:09.039
For for uh for those who okay, I'm gonna still CJ's question.
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:15.440
She usually goes with stretch for those who would be interested in doing like making their own games, that kind of thing.
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:20.559
Do you have any advice for people at who would want to do that, like what you've done?
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.200
Yeah, always start small.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:36.640
You can use a game engine, you or you may not use a game engine, but I would start small if you're you know something uh like a Space Invaders or a Pong or a Tetris, something very small.
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.960
Um, and I would try to learn the sort of the concepts through and through.
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:57.599
I wouldn't just like let the AI or something like that do it, or um better the sort of like when you're learning to write real novels or you know make real sort of art, imitation is key.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:08.640
So like if you want to become a great painter, I wouldn't recommend using uh AI to generate the art because then you won't become a great painter.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:13.039
Uh and the same thing goes for like building a game or coding or design.
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:21.359
Even if you are copying with your own hand, that is better than just having something generated for you.
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:39.519
So, you know, writing a just just getting the practice of like typing or writing or whatever the thing is, it's still gonna be better than just copying the thing and pasting it into the other thing and then hitting play and seeing and saying, Oh, yeah, this is my game.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.920
Better to write it by hand and actually internalize some things.
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.200
That would be my advice.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:55.759
There's also depending on how deep you want to go, um let's say you don't you maybe game engines are scary, or doing it from scratch is super scary as well.
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:05.359
Uh if you need to take a step even higher, there are um sort of like web tools that can sort of make a game for you.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:12.000
Um, and that that can be very nice where you can just sort of drag and drop and like a scratch, you mean?
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.559
Yeah, yeah, it's like scratch, yeah.
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:22.000
So you can like drag and drop and then do some some loops, uh, get loops situated uh that way.
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.359
You can also take classes and coding so you can learn to do it yourself too.
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.960
Yeah, classes and coding is I would highly recommend that.
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:32.880
Definitely.
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.799
Well, you were amazing tonight.
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.279
We appreciate you coming in and sharing your stuff.
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.920
We look forward to your announcement in October for your new game that's coming out.
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:46.480
Um I'm kind of excited to find out exactly what that is.
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.039
Um, looking forward to no platforms.
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.119
Um I'm not a platform person, it's about as bad as driving into walls with Mario.
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.839
Um I'm with I'm with them.
00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.680
Um so thank you for coming on.
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.880
Thank you for for your time.
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:02.480
We appreciate you coming on, Camille.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.279
Um, if you learn to learn more, make sure to check them out on Instagram under Quiet Warrior underscore.
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.640
That's Q U I E T W A R R I O R.
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.519
Make sure to add that underscore on the end.
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:26.799
Um, again, next week we have Michael Baught with creative journeys, and like I said, it has something to do with maps, D D, but it's not what you think.
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.359
You have to turn in next week to find out.
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:34.880
Uh, so Mombi, get ready to go ahead and take us out.
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.839
All right, guys.
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.799
Thank y'all for joining us.

It's really good.
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.279
So when did you start it?
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.279
Uh a couple days ago.
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.759
That's the one I was telling you about.
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:05.200
That Sister Allison one.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.359
I told you it's a little creepy, not gonna lie.
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.359
It's good.
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.039
It's a little creepy.
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.480
But so then, guys, we will see y'all next time.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.519

Get your wands to the ready because we solemnly swear we're up to no good.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:01.039
And speaking of to no good, we got lots of things coming up today.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:15.920
First of all, allow me to be the first to welcome you into fall officially because as of 7.04 today, Central Time, 8.04 Eastern Time, it will be the fall equinox.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:23.439
So welcome, Paul! Yay! So I'm gonna go real quick through.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.480
I'm gonna give you a quick preview into October.
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.000
Spooky season is coming.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:30.319
We all have our little spooky stuff coming on.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:32.480
I have my witch in charge shirt on.
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:36.079
Mandy Rella has her Dracula shirt on.
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.879
Her sparkliness going on down there.
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.319
We have for October coming up at an October sneak peek.
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.079
We have Sister Alice Singulat with her YA Urban Fantasy.
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.599
It's actually a little creepy, not gonna lie.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.319
It's pretty creepy.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:05.120
David Lee Home, actor and writer, Shane Glasgow Purgatory Screen Park, and we're gonna wrap it up with our course Art Week of Nerd Talk.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.640
That's your October preview.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.680
Next week we have Creative Journeys Michael Baught.
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:18.319
I'm gonna give you a little teaser and letting you know that it has nothing to do with DD and map making, and it's not what you think.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.039
I'm gonna leave it there.
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:23.599
Um it's not quite what you think it is.
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:26.560
Uh what you think it is is not what it is.
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:28.719
Uh Super Hubby is here.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.800
Uh Cousin Marissa is here.
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.759
Super Hobby says love spooky season.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:35.840
Uh, cousin Marissa says, love you guys.
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:36.960
Love you too, cousin.
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.159
Uh Zachary says, what's good?
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:43.680
Lots of stuff is good.
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:50.719
Um, speaking of stuff that is good, we have a special guest with us today, Kamal Bussel.
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:51.919
Did I pronounce the right?
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:52.719
Yes.
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:53.599
Hello, everyone.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:54.960
Welcome, Kamal.
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:56.400
Happy to be here.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:02.159
He happens to have a really cool game called Gravity's Edge.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.319
So, for those watching, would you mind explaining what Gravity's Edge is?
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.199
You guys have seen the video that I put out, but allow you to explain exactly what it is.
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:12.800
Certainly.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:17.840
So, Gravity's Edge is a little bit of a mashup game of a few different genres.
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.840
You can think um Mario Galaxy 2D form meets sort of like Zelda.
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.759
Um, so in its in the story mode, especially, you're on a quest to find your father.
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.240
You're a 14-year-old boy on a journey uh through the cosmos.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.360
You'll meet uh interesting characters and get uh interesting powers, explores puzzles and some physics concepts.
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.840
Um, but it also has a um another mode in there, more arcade style.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:53.759
Um, and that one's a more survival-based um, and there's the basically two games in one because even the survival game's a three-hour so experience.
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:56.719
So it's a it's a pretty big game.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:02.400
Now, my understanding there's like three hundred and some planets on there.
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.400
Uh yeah.
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.039
Uh in both modes, you have roughly 300 planets to uh explore.
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:16.000
Um, and try to do my best to make them all unique planets, so they all have their own unique gravity, uh, you know, look a little bit.
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.600
Um, there's uh some planets orbit each other.
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.160
Um, so planets have super dense gravity, some planets are on fire.
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.480
Um just exploring different types of uh worlds that exist out there.
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.680
Nice, very cool.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.560
I've been other, I don't know how you come up with 300 different planets.
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:33.759
That's pretty wild to me.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.959
I don't have a shiny diamond planet.
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.759
Show us the sparkly pink planet, of course.
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.279
With unicorns floating around in the atmosphere.
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:50.000
So, okay, it's available on uh Steam, right?
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.000
Is that the right that's correct?
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.560
It's available on uh Steam right now.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:00.079
Um uh I think it's only like eight bucks, seven bucks, something like that.
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.720
So it's you know, not too bad for an indie game.
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:07.040
Um and uh yeah, you can check it out.
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.040
So is the how how does it work?
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:14.319
Do you have to download it onto a computer or can you play it just through it?
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:16.800
Is it specifically for computers, or how does that work?
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:17.600
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.199
So Steam is the main way people play uh games on computers these days.
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:30.560
Uh back in the day, I guess we would uh go to like CNET or something like that, or so or some old school website and download the game through like a zip file or something.
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:39.279
And uh but these days everybody just uses Steam, and Steam uh you just go on your computer, um, it's on Mac or PC.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.920
Uh and when you download the game through there, it just boots it up for you.
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:46.480
Um and it tracks other things too.
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:51.920
So it's not just like you get the game, it has like achievements um and other stuff that it has.
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.560
Uh you can do like remote plays so you can like um share the game with your friend.
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:03.680
So if you have a friend who also has a game, they don't even have to buy the game, you can play the co-op because the game is two players.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.279
Um you can play with your buddy and they can just join in for free.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.079
Can you can you play it on Twitch?
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.399
So you can like play with your friend uh over Twitch.
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:18.000
You can play it on Twitch, and not only can you play it on Twitch, it uh has Twitch integration.
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.480
Uh that's a that's a fancy way of saying your chat can mess with you and make you lose faster.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:34.720
Um so yeah, it has uh Twitch chat integration so that uh the audience can sort of participate while you're playing the game.
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:36.560
Oh, that's very cool.
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.920
Uh Jazz says, hello M3, mildly entertained that everything is about to be pumpkin spice.
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.120
I believe it's I already started converting, just saying.
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.800
Um so what gave you the idea for this game?
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.560
That's a good question.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.959
So I'm a big fan of sort of sci-fi.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.759
Um, you could think Battlestar Galactica, or you can think uh the Expanse.
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:05.519
The Expanse is probably one of the big ones, uh a big uh part of my sort of recent sci-fi love.
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.120
Um, but it also has um a lot of homages to other video games.
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:16.000
So um games like uh tunic, uh games like Outer Wilds.
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:21.040
A game uh Outer Wilds is a game about being in outer space and trying to figure out puzzles in space as well.
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:35.279
Um and so uh it really was a homage to a lot of things that I love while also exploring physics and concepts that um I hadn't really seen in other games, so just trying to make the game fun for me as well, basically.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:35.600
Yeah.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:37.199
That answered my question.
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.920
I was wanting to know what inspired you to want to do that.
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:41.920
And you said because there wasn't a game out there like that.
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:42.879
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:43.680
That's awesome.
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.839
So, tricky question, did you code it, or do you have a friend that coded it?
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:50.800
Or I coded every single part of it.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:59.439
Oh it is uh not using a game engine, so it is actually all written by me.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:07.439
Um the reason I went that route was to sort of um for one, test my own self.
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:21.040
Uh I've been in the game industry for a long time, but also to be able to properly simulate all the planets um and get everything that I wanted exactly the way that I wanted without having to worry about any friction.
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.399
So I decided to sort of hand build it.
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.680
Uh Super Hubby says two things.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.920
He says Hard of Battlestar Galactica is over 40 years old.
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:34.879
And then he also said kudos to the coder.
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:36.960
Hands down, I agree.
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:37.679
Right.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.039
That's a lot of work.
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.159
So, uh do you have any other new games in mind?
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:56.720
Uh I have something new in the works, but it's not super ready yet for the reveal, but it will be revealed for Steam Next Fest, which is in October, which I'm sure is a big thing with you guys, right?
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:01.679
Um, so uh yes.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:05.600
So next month, uh the next game will be uh revealed.
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.480
Nice.
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:10.720
Um, can we get some generic hints?
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.360
Not specific, just generic?
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:23.440
Um it's in a similar vein, a survivor game, but it's gonna hit some pinpoints of just about getting rich.
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.360
Um nice.
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:34.080
I sort of like games where it's kind of like, you know, a lot of games are very um about fighting and battling stuff.
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.000
And in this game, you kind of battle a little bit.
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:37.679
There's pirates that come.
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:43.840
Uh, but I feel like every once in a while you just want a uh a feel-good game about just making it big, hitting the big time.
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.639
So this is about hitting the big time.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.480
Well, you guys heard it here first.
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:48.720
Yeah.
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:51.279
Um, congratulations, super excited for you.
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.519
Do you have a release date on that?
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:56.000
Uh no release date yet, but okay.
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.559
Um more will be revealed uh next month.
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.080
Hey, congratulations.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:07.279
So pay attention to his Instagram, which is down there, and that is Quiet Warrior underscore.
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.480
So make sure you get that underscore at the end, and that's down on Instagram.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:15.600
I'm sure that'll be released down there, the release date will, I'm sure, be announced on that.
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:17.200
So make sure it's on there.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:22.639
Um, Trevor Super wants to know is there a way to win the game ultimately?
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.559
Meaning the one that's currently out.
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:29.200
Um, for Gravity's Edge, story mode has seven different endings.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:38.559
Uh so if you want to say that you're you're fulfilled, uh, just get one of the endings in story mode, and that'll be pretty fulfilling.
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:48.080
Um uh survival mode also has an ending, um, but uh that that one will take you a little bit more time than a story mode.
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:52.480
The story mode's a little bit more straightforward because obviously characters are sort of guiding you and telling you what to do.
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:56.080
Whereas uh survival mode's a lot more uh open-ended.
00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.600
Your best goal though would be just like if you don't know how to beat it, quote unquote, get the highest in the leaderboard.
00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:06.320
There is a leaderboard um and sort of global, and it's you know, every season.
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:15.120
So you can see, I think right now the highest is wave 19, uh, with one person beating the the game, uh beating survival mode.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:19.919
Um, but if you did like you know, wave 18, that'd probably be uh pretty satisfying as well.
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:23.279
Cousin Marissa is super excited.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.559
Me too, girl.
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:26.720
So okay, I have a quick question too.
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:32.000
Uh Galaxy's Edge, how long did it take you to make this since you did all the coding basically yourself?
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:32.720
That's a lot.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:39.679
Um, so yeah, Gravity's Edge, it's I started February of last year.
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.240
Um, and so you could say about a year and a year and a some change.
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:48.080
Uh, because I released uh in May of this year.
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:56.320
Um, and then you know, since May of this year, I've I've still done uh lots of like updates and added stuff, right?
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:03.200
Like the Twitch integration came and some other good quality of life stuff came after the release.
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:03.919
Gotcha.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:07.360
In the grand scheme of things, that's not a long time to build.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.759
I actually was expecting it to be longer.
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:11.120
I'm I was too.
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:15.120
I was like, I was gonna hear like five years in the making, finally, no.
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:15.679
Really?
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:27.039
What I was challenging myself, so I was uh I'm trying to think of a yeah, so Sonic, I'm sure we're all familiar with Sonic.
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:36.879
I was trying to challenge myself in the same way as the original devs of like Sonic and Sonic 2, and they used to make games in about a year or a year and a half.
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:47.120
Oh wow, every three years, so you only had a window of about a year or two to get your game out before the next generation of console come out.
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.600
So I was sort of challenging myself to do it in a year, year and a half.
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:53.360
Um inspiration.
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:54.879
Okay, I guess there you go.
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.879
So I was definitely uh putting my back into it.
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:06.799
Uh but yeah, like um as with all things, with more time, it you know, I'm still working on it, right?
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.519
Like I'm it's released, but I'm still doing the updates and stuff like that.
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.279
So I think uh the lay's update went out on Monday.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:22.159
Uh so now when you do an update, does it just automatically go across all systems, or do you just have to notify each person that has one that you're aware of?
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.000
As long as they have as long as they open up the game, it will have the update.
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:26.879
Okay, cool.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:34.320
Uh Super B says, awesome love to be a able to be a winner.
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.240
Kind of spread across both.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.039
And Jess is wondering where my friend Jeremy is.
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:42.159
So, Jeremy, if you're listening, he'd like to know where you are.
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.679
Where's Jeremy Vander?
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:44.480
Okay, I know.
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:47.039
Where's Jeremy Vander, our maker of our wands?
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.240
Our beautiful wands.
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.879
Yeah, since 2024.
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:52.960
He doesn't get an ad so he gets on here, though.
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.080
So he's gotta get in the chat.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.399
So I but I want to ask this real quick too.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:02.559
So here's my thing in games, there's always something that the creator puts in there that they want people to find.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:09.440
Is there anything in there that you you would suggest that they look for or something along those lines specifically?
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:16.000
Uh if you're in story mode, um that one might be a little bit harder.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:30.720
There's some secret stuff in story mode, um, but it's all sort of locked and hidden away in ways that you would have to really play the game through and through, maybe get some of the multiple endings to sort of see some of the crazier things.
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:37.360
Um, but I will say for survival, there is there's actually a lot more Easter eggs in survival.
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:46.720
So if you see anything related to like a cassette tape, you know, maybe that'll eventually turn some music on, or if you see a little cute chicken, maybe you should hang out with the chicken a little bit.
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.720
Maybe that chicken will eventually follow you.
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:54.240
There is uh there's some cute stuff uh hidden inside the survival mode for sure.
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.120
Oh, cool.
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:56.639
I like little Easter eggs.
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.120
Uh Jez says, glad to see Super Happy.
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.960
Um, super happy had surgery last week, so super happy get better.
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.879
Um, so yeah.
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:06.799
So can I ask a quick question?
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:07.519
Sure.
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.919
Uh who's supposed to be am I Gryffindor?
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.720
Like uh what's going on?
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.200
Oh, I am Ravenclaw.
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:13.759
Okay.
00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.200
Um she's Hufflepuff.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:18.000
Yeah.
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:19.840
This one is Slytherin.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.879
So the question is, have you taken a house quiz?
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:24.879
Do you know a house you belong to?
00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:34.480
I mean, I I feel like Gryffindor is getting left out, so I'm I'm so we have a fourth co-hostess, so you can see her in our logo, and she's usually our Gryffindor.
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:38.080
Oh, so the question is, what is your personality?
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:43.279
Or um you seem creative, so actually I would probably put you in Ravenclaw personally.
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:47.519
Okay, I would I would I would put you as an on-rare Ravenclaw with me, but that's me.
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.200
You see really sweet.
00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.159
Yeah, there's a lot of baby huffles.
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:59.360
He's more creative, and so I would put the creativity in in Ravenclaw personally.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.279
I mean, okay, the coding and everything.
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:09.200
There's a lot of that, but also, you know, Slytherins are are very cunning, and I feel like that it takes a lot better to come together with 300 different worlds.
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.320
Uh he's got the wisdom and the creativity.
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.080
I would still put him in Ravenclaw.
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.399
Okay.
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.279
I'll give you a hug if you're not going to be able to do fighting over.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:18.080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:19.120
I like this.
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.279
No, I would put him in Ravenclaw.
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.279
I would say it's more Ravenclaw.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.759
All right.
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:27.679
That's where I would put him.
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:35.519
We are big fans of the Potter More quiz, the official Harry Potter world, the one that they have online when it comes to like picking your house.
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.039
But sometimes you just identify because Harry picked his house anyway.
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.320
So I didn't know.
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:41.360
I was like a Harry Potter.
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:43.840
Which one would you choose to be in?
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:52.799
Usually, usually like the Ravenclaws are the creative, wise, you know, the more witty, that sort of thing.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.960
How about it?
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.279
I think I'd I think I'd be a Gryffindor.
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.120
You said that's going to be given to you.
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:01.279
You may choose to be a Gryffindor.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:01.679
Yeah.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.640
Then you are an honorary Gryffindor this evening.
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:05.599
Yeah.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:09.039
That is what you shall be.
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:12.400
So welcome to the Gryffindor house this evening.
00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:15.039
Oh, Kita would be so happy.
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.440
And she how do Ship doesn't not even be here?
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.400
Right.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:21.920
Right, she wins.
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.240
I know, right?
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:24.799
She wins.
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:28.480
That is like that's like superpowers right there.
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.359
Oh my goodness.
00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.279
She's got the mental thing going on.
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:39.839
He's Gryffindor, he's Gryffindor, he's Gryffindor, and he's not even She left her her essence of Gryffindor behind for their stick away.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:42.160
There you go.
00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:43.680
Oh my god.
00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.920
So after this one launches, do you have any ideas for any new ones coming in?
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:54.400
Um besides the secret one that I'm leaving a little bit.
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:56.240
The super secret one, yeah.
00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:01.599
Increasing you have like a list set up somewhere of ideas, basically.
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.599
Like where do you get your ideas?
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.960
I guess it's more the question.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:09.680
Yeah, I think I have like a backlog of video game ideas at this point.
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:14.400
So there will be lots of games uh to come in the future.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:20.400
Um uh the more successful I am, I guess the more time I can dedicate to them.
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:29.119
Uh but yeah, I think the next one uh stands a fair chance of being uh as equally successful, maybe even more successful.
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.799
Um and then yes, I have I have uh idea for game number three-ish.
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:45.039
So I already have mobile games, I'm not including that, but for PC games, Gravity's Edge is the number that's my my first baby when it comes to being on Steam.
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:51.519
Whereas I have several other mobile games uh that are more um a little bit more casual.
00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:55.759
Like I have a Domino's game, uh Solitaire game, and I have a Ludie game.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.160
Ludy is kind of like sorry or trouble, uh-huh.
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:04.400
But these games are all have like Caribbean flair and uh nice.
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.640
Is there a place they can find the like um the mobile games?
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.599
Are they just available in the uh mobile game app stuff?
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:24.720
Yeah, they're in uh yeah, they're on uh so yeah, so Castle Games, which is me, uh does Gravity's Edge, but I also uh Moonlit Studios is my mobile branch of also me.
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:34.480
Uh and Moonlit Studios has all the mobile games of like the Caribbean flare, where Castle Games is more the hardcore gamer on PC.
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:37.119
Okay, so here's a qu here's a question.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.559
So I started like I'm I'm agent.
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.240
Uh I will own it.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.519
I started with Atari.
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.920
Like Space Invaders, all that fun stuff.
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:55.279
Um as games got more complicated, I started running like Mario into walls, and I gave up.
00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:04.720
Not at Mario, no! Yeah, I yeah, I run Mario into the walls, so I gave up.
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:11.279
Um now I I when we were doing like Andretti, I killed it on the dragon game.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:16.160
Um so my question is so just don't make me drive into walls and I'm good.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.400
Give me like the air and I'm I'm fine to fly freely in the air.
00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:23.279
So my question is when did you start gaming?
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.799
Uh the generation after Atari.
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:32.799
So then pre-Nintendo, like getting the Nintendo was like a big deal.
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:39.440
Uh so I was gaming before Nintendo, um, but basically that era.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:41.680
What was your earliest gaming system?
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:44.960
Uh a console called the Socrates.
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:50.640
Oh wow, not super well known because it's an educational console.
00:20:50.880 --> 00:20:51.039
Right.
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:52.240
Whoa.
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.359
Education games on it and stuff like that.
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.880
Um so I don't think it's super well known.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.160
Um, but that would be technically my first console.
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:10.079
Uh and then I don't know if we had something in between, but Nintendo was definitely the one when we got it, we were like all super excited about it.
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:11.920
Oh man, I I know that feeling.
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.319
I was 10 when I got my first Nintendo.
00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:29.759
Um so mostly I was gaming on like old school Macintoshes in the library and stuff like that, uh, before getting the Nintendo, um playing some super old games.
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.200
I really like the Olympics.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.599
We used to put them on like the floppy discs or the hard drive discs and put them in there.
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.319
That was fun.
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:43.519
And then for library games, like in in school, getting to go play the games in the library, even the educational ones are so much fun.
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.119
There it's like the Oregon Trail.
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:47.759
The Oregon Trail was another good one.
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:48.160
Yep.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.839
Yep, I always died.
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.839
I did too, mommy.
00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:53.279
We wouldn't survive.
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:55.359
It's like everybody slowly died off.
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.759
You know, your sister died, your cattle died, your mom I was like, okay.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:02.559
I'm just nobody safe around me.
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:04.480
Never mind, I died, so everybody's safe.
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.039
Oregon Trail.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.400
Does anyone survive that game?
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.119
I'm serious.
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:09.920
Like, honestly.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.960
Yeah, I don't know anyone that's not.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:11.920
Of course you did.
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.880
Of course you did.
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.039
I don't know anyone that's beaten Oregon Trail.
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.359
She said there's a Raven Claw test right there.
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:22.079
I did.
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:23.759
You weird.
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.640
Oh.
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:27.680
Oh my goodness.
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.119
I would be like, why can't we stay where we're at?
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:43.359
Again, but I I grew up with Atari, so I learned all the background stuff, and you learned like the little tricks and chips.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.599
And uh by the way, cousin Mrs.
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.240
Mommy.
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.440
Um I did, I eventually beat that sucker.
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:53.519
Um persistence is key.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:56.640
Um just saying.
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.480
So speaking of Mario, uh I just couldn't.
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:04.559
The next game is going to sort of veer.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:16.960
So now I've done my Mario type game, and I get some some a lot of like adults uh don't like picking up the controller if like a controller and like jumping at all.
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:24.079
As soon as they like have to jump or there's like a platform or something, they're just like, no, no, I've suffered enough with Mario, I'm never doing this again.
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:27.680
So that's why the next game I'm doing has no platforming.
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:32.880
It's gonna be more in the uh vein of getting rich and like management.
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:38.480
Uh let's say there will be a little bit of combat, but like the next game is about getting hitting the big time.
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:50.000
So I'm definitely trying to get a lot more uh gamers that uh shy away from the platform, trying to get a little bit more of that bigger audience with the next the next venture.
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:54.799
A different different uh niche, basically like genre kind of setup.
00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.279
That's cool.
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:59.599
You had me when when CJ said it had a flare of D D.
00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:02.880
I was like No, no, that's wait, really?
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.759
Yeah.
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.279
Oh his game.
00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:07.119
This is a flare of it in there.
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.279
No, that's the next guest.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.279
That's next week's guest.
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.039
Oh, I thought you guys.
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:17.039
I was thinking I was like, Wait, sorry.
00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.599
You have me at all those other games that you were talking about on the mobile.
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:25.680
But that's an idea for you, Kamal.
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:26.319
Oh yeah.
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.599
Next one, next next one on the list of ideas.
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.599
Because that that's a whole other niche right there.
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:34.960
Yeah, that's true.
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.519
That's true.
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:38.880
That that that you would have me at, I'm just saying.
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:43.680
I know plenty of people that would go for that too.
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:51.599
Like not have to uh oh if you could do it for like you could do it with friends like the other one, like but like all over.
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.400
You would have like people all over Twitch, like I'm telling you.
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:57.839
Okay, sorry.
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.279
Anyway, now my bad by the way.
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:05.359
Uh so here's my question putting roads together that way.
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:09.039
For for uh for those who okay, I'm gonna still CJ's question.
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:15.440
She usually goes with stretch for those who would be interested in doing like making their own games, that kind of thing.
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:20.559
Do you have any advice for people at who would want to do that, like what you've done?
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:23.200
Yeah, always start small.
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:36.640
You can use a game engine, you or you may not use a game engine, but I would start small if you're you know something uh like a Space Invaders or a Pong or a Tetris, something very small.
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.960
Um, and I would try to learn the sort of the concepts through and through.
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:57.599
I wouldn't just like let the AI or something like that do it, or um better the sort of like when you're learning to write real novels or you know make real sort of art, imitation is key.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:08.640
So like if you want to become a great painter, I wouldn't recommend using uh AI to generate the art because then you won't become a great painter.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:13.039
Uh and the same thing goes for like building a game or coding or design.
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:21.359
Even if you are copying with your own hand, that is better than just having something generated for you.
00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:39.519
So, you know, writing a just just getting the practice of like typing or writing or whatever the thing is, it's still gonna be better than just copying the thing and pasting it into the other thing and then hitting play and seeing and saying, Oh, yeah, this is my game.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.920
Better to write it by hand and actually internalize some things.
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.200
That would be my advice.
00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:55.759
There's also depending on how deep you want to go, um let's say you don't you maybe game engines are scary, or doing it from scratch is super scary as well.
00:26:55.920 --> 00:27:05.359
Uh if you need to take a step even higher, there are um sort of like web tools that can sort of make a game for you.
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:12.000
Um, and that that can be very nice where you can just sort of drag and drop and like a scratch, you mean?
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:14.559
Yeah, yeah, it's like scratch, yeah.
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:22.000
So you can like drag and drop and then do some some loops, uh, get loops situated uh that way.
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.359
You can also take classes and coding so you can learn to do it yourself too.
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.960
Yeah, classes and coding is I would highly recommend that.
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:32.880
Definitely.
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.799
Well, you were amazing tonight.
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.279
We appreciate you coming in and sharing your stuff.
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.920
We look forward to your announcement in October for your new game that's coming out.
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:46.480
Um I'm kind of excited to find out exactly what that is.
00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.039
Um, looking forward to no platforms.
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.119
Um I'm not a platform person, it's about as bad as driving into walls with Mario.
00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:57.839
Um I'm with I'm with them.
00:27:58.079 --> 00:27:59.680
Um so thank you for coming on.
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.880
Thank you for for your time.

We appreciate you coming on, Camille.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:09.279
Um, if you learn to learn more, make sure to check them out on Instagram under Quiet Warrior underscore.
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:12.640
That's Q U I E T W A R R I O R.
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.519
Make sure to add that underscore on the end.
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:26.799
Um, again, next week we have Michael Baught with creative journeys, and like I said, it has something to do with maps, D D, but it's not what you think.
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.359
You have to turn in next week to find out.
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:34.880
Uh, so Mombi, get ready to go ahead and take us out.
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:35.839
All right, guys.
00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.799
Thank y'all for joining us.
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:50.319
Make sure that you're following along on uh social media, CJ Peterson, Mombi Rola, and Juju Jones here, as well as, of course, Magic Making Mischief for all the fun and all the upcoming events and things we have.
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:53.359
Also, I got my book from uh one of our upcoming guests.
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:56.240
This is the uh first in the series, and I'm on Chef Chin.
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:56.720
It's really good.
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.279
So when did you start it?
00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:01.279
Uh a couple days ago.
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.759
That's the one I was telling you about.
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:05.200
That Sister Allison one.
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.359
I told you it's a little creepy, not gonna lie.
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.359
It's good.
00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:11.039
It's a little creepy.
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.480
But so then, guys, we will see y'all next time.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.519
And it is mischief manage.
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.119
Happy Fall y'all! Happy Fall.
