The Razzle Dazzle Show

This week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re heading back to Hyrule to talk about one of the most influential games ever made: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. From stepping into the Great Deku Tree for the first time to becoming the Hero of Time, we’re breaking down the dungeons, characters, music, story, mechanics, and all the little moments that made Ocarina of Time such an unforgettable part of gaming history. Was it really as perfect as we remember? Has time been kind to the Hero of Time? And why does that damn Water Temple still haunt us? Grab your ocarina and come with us back to Hyrule!Host: Jared Gonzalez, Mauro Piquera Cohost: Chaz Hawkins. Master Chief Engineer: Jared Gonzalez. Editor: Jared Gonzalez.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them.  Joining me today is lead composer and sound designer Dillan Schmitz, who has been helping shape the emotional and sonic heartbeat of the game from the very beginning.We’re going to look back at all of the SHADE Protocol trailers released so far and talk about how the music evolved alongside the project itself — how the sound of the game changed over time, what inspired those tracks, and how music helps define the world, the characters, and the emotional identity of SHADE Protocol.⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Before Geralt became a household name, there was The Witcher. For this episode of The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re going all the way back to 2007 to talk about where CD Projekt Red’s Witcher journey began. From its rough edges and memorable characters to its choices, consequences, and surprisingly deep story, we’re breaking down the game that started it all. How does the original Witcher hold up today? What did it get right? And just how far has the series come since then?

Obviously we’ll be avoiding major spoilers, but this should give everyone a fun little peek behind the curtain into the current state of the game, the combat, the atmosphere, and how things are shaping up during development.⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today, we’re talking about a brand-new enemy type: the Xavior Rogues — fast, aggressive frontline assassins designed specifically to keep pace with Zura as her mobility and combat abilities continue to evolve. These aren’t massive bosses. They aren’t gimmick enemies. And they definitely aren’t Snacklets. The Rogues are meant to represent something different: enemies that make standard combat feel thrilling all on their own.⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

This week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re joined by the legendary creative duo Eric and Julia Lewald — the writers and producers behind X-Men: The Animated Series and consulting producers on X-Men ’97! For an entire generation, the Lewalds helped redefine superhero storytelling through complex characters, emotional depth, and themes that still resonate decades later. But beyond the legacy of X-Men, we dive into their lives as storytellers, creative partners, and the experiences that shaped the people behind one of the most influential animated series ever made.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Today’s episode focuses on a brand-new enemy type that looks like it could tear straight through a fortress wall: the Xavior Boltknight. These massive breacher-class enemies are built around one terrifying idea: What if a walking siege weapon hunted you down with a giant screw the size of your body? The Boltknight introduces a different kind of combat pressure than some of the faster enemies we’ve seen recently. While enemies like the Rogues are designed to stick to the player constantly, the Boltknight seems focused on raw force, area control, and devastating impact.⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Welcome to another edition of BREAKING Protocol from The Razzle Dazzle Show — our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. These episodes are built around the game’s community engagement series, Devs Ask You, or DAUs — where Kendall and the team not only show what’s changing, but invite fans to shape the journey with them. Today’s episode focuses on one of the most experimental and unpredictable Instruments in the game: the Chakram. This weapon has gone through multiple iterations already, and it’s clear the team loves the fantasy behind it — but it’s also presenting some of the most complicated design challenges in the entire combat system.⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Welcome to another episode of BREAKING Protocol, our ongoing mini-series where we break down key updates and design questions straight from the development of SHADE Protocol. Tema. A frozen graveyard of civilizations long extinguished. Snow-shrouded battlefields where silent colossi rust beneath layers of ice.

In this episode, we’re breaking down what makes Tema more than just a “snow level” — but a biome built on history, decay, melancholy, and the consequences of technology. Let’s dig into the design, the mood, the mechanical intent, and what awaits players who dare tread across the ice.https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share⁠⁠⁠⁠ Host: Jared Gonzalez.
