Episode 64: Will Modern Games Ever Feel Nostalgic?

from Hive Scum · host TR

OOOOOOOO bby we're back. Just the three of us today in a big ol' round table discussion about what the future looks like for games. We are all heavily inspired by the games of old, and our early experiences with these games shaped who we are now, but... will it always be this way? Will there be people who look back on this era with the longing that we reserve for the "3rd Edition 40K City Fight" book? We talk about how modern companies are seemingly operating, why sometimes products feel they don't have the "weight" they did before, and how potentially indie games could be what is remembered going forward. On top of that Terry talks about playing with action figures as a kid, Steve breaks down Batman/Aliens and Gage talks about "yo dude..." moments that happen during the creative process.Please come over to the In Rust We Trust Discord if you have thoughts, because this was a very fun conversation to have, and we'd love to continue it.Big shout out to all those Scumbags that decided to join our Patreon, you are the reason we can keep on keeping on - thank you!Be a kid again, and Bash the Planet!We have sick merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hive Scum Big Cartel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Knucklebones Miniatures' (@knucklebones_miniatures) New Hive Scum Flagellants! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knucklebones Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join the In Rust We Trust discord here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IRWT Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you'd like to support us further, take a look at our Patreon!
