On this, our 200th Wardcast, we take the time to appreciate the little things. Namely: we eulogize a Mario clone that was too good for this world, find ourselves in the throng of JRPGs and CRPGs alike, and put a cap on last week’s conversation about the Steam Summer Sale’s effect on indies.
Games include Mario Royale, Flappy Royale, HexSweep, Outer Wilds, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, The Arcana: A Mystic Romance, Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator, Divinity: Original Sin II, Deltarune Chapter 1, Splatoon 2, and Super Mario Maker 2.
Two Mortal Kombatants fall in a bucket of cream.
Ben Wander, designer at indie studio The Wandering Band, joins us to talk about what indies get up to at E3.
We also chat about his time at Visceral Games before going indie to make A Case of Distrust, the post-release slump devs can find themselves in, and building a team to collaborate on their studio’s new game, Airborne Kingdom.
We share thoughts on if there’s a benefit to having a demo for your game on Steam and the eShop, reflect on the Steam Summer Sale Grand Prix debacle, and more!
We return home from E3, carrying with us tales of new games and new friends. Come join us for the coda of this year’s Electronic Third.
We’re excited about:
• Kal Kestus’ white lightning
• Some delicious Gnoggin Thoth
• Leaving John-117 to float through space
• Project Scarlett: Red Ring edition
• Ikumi Nakamura being just the best
• Eating Gooigi
• The Legend of Zelda: Thirst of the Thief King
Games include GRIS.

We stand on the precipice of E to the Three. The portcullis has opened; the City of Angels beckons. Who will join our scouting party to see what the land of electronic entertainment holds?
