Some great topics on the show this month, ranging from fun and light, to a bit more serious. First up, Todd leads a discussion on what he calls “slow burner” games, which a player may start and stop playing for months or even years. Joe is interested in VGM soundtracks which are so good, it made us go buy the actual game. And lastly, a long and thoughtful discussion about AI being used in game development, with some fantastic input from our listeners and Patrons. Do we finally solve the AI problem once and for all? Let’s find out!
