Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the Video Gamers Podcast. I am your host, Ace, and today we are going to look at a mushroom-filled roguelike, a ridiculous dating simulator, and probably one of the most frustrating games you'll ever play in your life. But before that, I've got to introduce to you a man who just came out of a devastating breakup with his toaster. It's Ryan. Ryan.
I can only take so many burnt waffles, you know. We just had to cut it off.
Them Eggos are expensive, man.
Yeah, man. Even at Costco, you know, it's only so much one man can take.
Dude, we have got some weird ones to talk about today. We've got some good ones to talk about today.
Yeah.
But, you know, they're indie all the same. Absolutely. But before we get into them, I have a little question for you. All right. What do you like to see most from these indie developers in these indie games?
Actually, I saw this in the show docs, and I like this question a lot because I think the flexibility that indie developers have offers them the ability to do so much more to cater to gamers. So the thing that I tend to appreciate, if you will, more about the indie development, indie side of the gaming world, is that you see the passion and you see the drive to just make gamers happy. No matter what the game is, no matter what they make or create, I want my end customer to have fun first and foremost, and then if I can make a bunch of money, that's a big plus and awesome. But, you know, like they you can just tell that their hearts always in it. And I love I love that it's it's fun first and enjoyment first with, you know, indie games. At least that's what I've always felt.
And thanks to you and this pod, I've been getting a lot more into indie games and I played a ton that I never would have touched otherwise. And I've had an awesome time.
That's great, man. I think that's exactly the way I feel, too. Oh, cool. Indie games have so much more heart, it feels like. AAA games have heart. I'm not going to say that at all.
For sure.
Yeah, yeah. Rockstar puts their all into every game they make.
Including all the money. Yeah, yeah.
They do put all their money into it, like a freaking studio film. But when you play an indie game, especially one that not a lot of people talk about, a lot of times you find those hidden gems, you're just like... this is just someone like trying to relive their nostalgia days and like give it back to you. And you're just like, I can feel it. And I love it. Yeah. That's a good answer. I like that. Heck yeah.
I'm learning. I'm learning the indie side, man.
Yeah, I could tell Ryan's heart grew three sizes that day.
I do not like it.
I do not like indie games. Well, let's start with probably one of my favorite ones we're going to talk about today. And that would be a dating sim. That's right, everyone. We're talking about a dating sim on this show called Date Everything. Ryan, what did you think about this when I put it in the doc?
This is also what I find so interesting about indie games is that there is not that board of directors. There's not the appeasement to the suits, and they just make the most ridiculous stuff that you could imagine. Uh, I'm, I'm, I'm very curious to see how this one plays out longterm. Um, it's basically this sandbox dating simulator, but like everything in a household you're dating. Um, and you can put on your date V8ers, right? Yeah. There's a washing machine, the lamp, the, uh, the, the stove, the toaster, like you said, you know, we're not on speaking terms right now, so I don't want to, you know, go back to X's and stuff like that. But yeah, this just, uh, To me, not to poo-poo right away, but I'm going to. You've got to be really bored to play something like this.
There's a lot of options in this world that I could... I'd rather play the OG pinball from back in Microsoft XP than this game.
Ryan, are you saying two married men have no interest in playing a dating simulator?
I will say that two married men, especially when it's a dating simulator, that you're dating fans and toasters and lamps.
