. . . But It Was Aliens

Am I revealing my cards too soon, or giving you just enough of a peek for you to be intrigued by Just Beneath the Holler's story? No, you tell me, I'm terrible at reading the room.

My Hillbilly Past

What makes me qualified to make a game honoring Appalachia while also injecting it with a dose of magical realism? I'm glad you asked, I explain my bona fides in today's episode.

Wood Boogers

Note: there are possible, slight spoilers for Just Beneath the Holler's story in this episode. Today I'm talking about my research into the paranormal, the supernatural, and the just plain weird of Appalachia and how the traditions of settlers and native peoples had certain commonalities. Yes, wood boogers are a real thing. Supposedly. Thanks for listening and I'll see you tomorrow!

Elevation Sickness

The new lavalier mic has cut the engine/road noise significantly but I'm still working to make sure I don't sound like I'm in a can. The fact that I'm still sick isn't helping my voice at all. In this episode, I discuss how to fix the reelshot elevation issue and liken myself to Scotty. Thanks for listening!

Episode 004 - Distracting Periphery

I recorded before I got on the interstate to reduce road/cabin noise, AND I bought a clip-on mic for even better sound! In this episode, I talk about all the side-tasks of game development and promotion and why I need to limit my time on those. I also talk more about the May 4 prototype for Just Beneath the Holler.
