NEW EPISODE

A longer break than usual, but that's December.

I had a great time playing the games covered in this episode, and an even better time learning about the ups and downs of indie development from @pdyx.bsky.social (aka @onefroggames.bsky.social).

dialogue tree @dialoguetree.cc · Dec 10

Triple threat. No ceremony, no worries.

3 great games, and a conversation with the person that made my favourite 1 of them. This week, it's the hidden gems of 2025, and @onefroggames.bsky.social, on Monochrome Heights.

Episode 031 of Dialogue Tree, available now wherever you get podcasts.

Why is it that when I am testing specifically for a bug that I want to fix I cannot get it to happen but it seems to happen all the time when I'm not working on it?

When my son was an infant I spent many nights trying to rock him to sleep. Across from the rocker hung a string of paper robots. I stared at those robots for so long that I named them and gave them backstories. Now, about ten years later, I've made a video game that stars those robots.
