BREAKING Protocol: Harmonies
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. This DAU is all about Harmonies, SHADE Protocol’s ultimate abilities system. The team is toying with how to bring big cinematic combat moments to the forefront of gameplay — without making them feel too rare or disconnected from player control. In this minisode, we’ll explore the concept, the inspiration, and how the community weighed in on what makes a satisfying ultimate ability in a Metroidvania.https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Host: Jared Gonzalez.

BREAKING Protocol: Stana Leader of the Deathletters Pt. 2
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 stepping into newly revealed territory! Stana, the mysterious leader of the Deathletters. A face we’ve never seen until now… and already one of the most dangerous presences in the game. In the new trailer, Zura walks into a quiet room alone, only to be shot down instantly, brought to her knees. A blue figure appears: calm, deliberate, lethal. She charges up a blast aimed straight at Zura, only for a spear-wielding figure to intercept at the last second, blasting the beam into distant mountains and leaving behind a massive crater.https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Host: Jared Gonzalez.

Episode 259: Kill la Kill
Get ready to strip away the layers because this week on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we’re going all in on the chaotic, clothes-powered insanity of Kill la Kill! We’re talking Ryuko’s revenge, Satsuki’s god-tier speeches, and why this anime walks the line between genius and bonkers in the most beautiful way possible. Is it satire? Is it fanservice? Is it secretly a masterclass in storytelling wrapped in a kamui? YES.Hosts: Jared Gonzalez, Chaz Hawkins.Cohost: Mauro Piquera. Master Chief Engineer: Jared Gonzalez. Editor: 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 focusing on one of Zura’s most defining Instruments, the Nightfall Shield. More than just a wall between Zura and danger, Nightfall represents percussion in the game’s musical design and embodies the fantasy of defense as power.

BREAKING Protocol: Protocols - Functions & Calls
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 topic isn’t a weapon, an enemy, or even a location. It’s something much bigger.

BREAKING Protocol: Maggie & Opie Pt 2
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. Once whimsical, once united, eventually torn apart by war. Now divided like children of a broken home. Some loyal to the Xaviors, others following humanity into the shadows, and some simply running from the world that failed them. Cute. Tragic. A little unhinged. And very recruitable. Today’s episode introduces two Snacklets with hearts larger than their metal frames, Maggie and Opie! Opposing ideals, clashing loyalties, but both driven by hope.https://linktr.ee/LittleLegendaryGames?utm_source=linktree_profile_share Host: Jared Gonzalez. Executive Producer: Kendall Quinoñes.

Get ready to revisit the beginning of a galaxy at war as we dive into Season One of Star Wars: The Clone Wars! This is where the series starts laying the groundwork, introducing us to key players, big ideas, and a very different side of the Star Wars universe than what we’d seen on the big screen. We talk about the early growing pains of the show, the standout arcs that surprised us, and how Season One sets the tone for the emotional weight, political intrigue, and character development that The Clone Wars would later become famous for. From Anakin and Obi Wan’s dynamic to Ahsoka’s introduction and first steps as a Padawan, we break down what works, what feels rough around the edges, and why it all still matters.Host: Jared Gonzalez, Chaz Hawkins, Mauro Piquera.
