I was recently interviewed by the Van Hemlock Podcast about Small Worlds and general indie game stuff! You can listen to the whole show here. There’s a spot of nepotism here, since the co-host Jon is my brother, but if you like to hear two siblings bickering over nothing in particular (and who doesn’t!) then it’s the thing for you!
They gave me absolutely no warning whatsoever for the interview, so I had nothing prepared, which is my excuse for sounding like a total idiot. I haven’t actually listened to it yet, but I vaguely recall rambling incoherently about nothing in particular for twenty minutes. I think I might have even mentioned the game once. Oh lordy I hope it’s not too embarrassing.
In other podcast news, the brand new Jay Is Games/Flash Game License podcast, Way Too Casual just kicked off, and in their first episode they talk about Small Worlds, and how to pronounce my surname. Hooray! I am officially the most famous man on the planet, apart from several million others.
In other news, Small Worlds has been up on Armor Games for a week or so now, and has just pipped the 250,000 plays mark! I know, it’s nothing compared to the 10 million + views that some of the games on that site get, but it’s still an unimaginably high number for me. Thanks everyone! Reading the comments thread is nerve-wracking though; it’s much like YouTube in respect to the crushing lack of restraint shown by commenters. If they don’t like your game, they sure don’t beat around the bush.
