Pine: A Story of Loss w/ Tom Booth & Najati Imam

from The Koopa Cast: A Nintendo Podcast · host Seth Sturgill

This holiday, I'd like to share a story of finding hope in the dark, oppressive forest of grief. I was lucky enough to chat with Tom and Najati from Made Up Games about how Pine: A Story of Loss was made and why it's worth making a game that isn't "fun" in the traditional sense. Plus - my picks for my top five winter holiday Nintendo Switch games, tidbits from my Nintendo year-in-review, roundups of The Game Awards, The Indie Game Awards... and a whole lot more!Housekeeping - (1:57)► Send in your GOTY submission(s)!Pine: A Story of Loss with Tom Booth & Najati Imam - (8:20)Top 5 Winter Holiday Nintendo Switch Games - (1:10:51)News - (1:28:51)► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Discord community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support on Patreon for early access⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pick up The Koopa Cast merch on our website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All N Media on YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠☆ Guest Links ☆► Tom on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@tomwilltell.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠► Tom on Instagram: ⁠⁠@tomwilltell► Najati on Bluesky: @najatiactual.bsky.social► Made Up Games on Bluesky: @madeupgames.bsky.social► ⁠⁠Pine: A Story of Loss on the eShop⁠⁠☆ Social Links ☆► Seth on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@twodollarhero.bsky.social⁠⁠⁠⁠► All N Media on Bluesky: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@alln.media🎵 Music Credits 🎵Thank you to Qumu & Hyper Potions for the use of our intro and outro music!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mario Kart 64 - Koopa Troopa Beach [Winter Holiday Remix] by Qumu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Koopa Troopa Beach - Hyper Potions⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Title - Blankfor.ms aka Tyler GilmoreCarving 1 - Blankfor.ms aka Tyler Gilmore
