The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #493: Welcome Back Paul Korman to Discuss The Phantom Fellows, Game Development, and More

This week, Paul Korman, who was last on the show in 2021 (episode 298), rejoins the show to discuss The Phantom Fellows, the pixelart adventure game he recently completed.  This was a really fun episode to record (even though we needed to do it twice - more on that in the intro), and it was a fun one to prepare for, since it involved playing the game Paul had discussed back in episode 298.  It is really something - not only was it a very enjoyable experience - but he did the programming, art, music, and writing, all while single parenting it, and doing regular episodes of The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast (a Facebook group devoted to classic video games that has a regular podcast - more below).  This is a great episode to check out if you are involved in any creative pursuits. One of the best things about the game is the writing Paul lent to it, showcasing his unique brand of humor.  I played the game on a portable PC, so to speak, called the Steam Deck, and took some photos during game play of some of the screens I got a kick out of.
