Episode 22. May 17th, 2015. Interview with Alex from PixelNAUTS Games, a developer in Canada that just released the awesome game Lost Orbit. As Andrew and Mike call it, “an awesome game where you die alot,” but more aptly a “dodge’m up” where it’s like a schmup (Shoot’em up) but with no guns. You’ll be dodging and weaving, narrowly escaping death with every passing second as you rocket through space with your jetpack. We chat with Alex about releasing a game, developmental processes while making a game, among other things. We also talk about Konami’s decision to go mobile, and the (not) mystery surrounding the success of mobile games and how it’s not a “casual” audience.
