Sacred Symbols+, Episode 112: The Writing (and Playing) of Trigger Witch
Added 2021-08-14 16:01:02 +0000 UTCWe love our indie games here on Sacred Symbols, as you know, and I (Colin) would like to take a moment today to discuss one of them in-depth: Trigger Witch. The reasons I want to discuss this title, not surprisingly, are manifold. For starters, it's really fun. It's a twin-stick shooter about an arsenal-wielding witch, and it's charming, witty, and appropriately bite-sized. Also, my buddies over at Rainbite made this game, which you should note. But even more interesting than that, to me, is that my friend Jono Pech wrote the game itself. This is where I want to truly delve in, because as you may recall, I've started writing games recently, too, and I suspect we've much to discuss. Our chat is wide-ranging, but it does get into spoiler territory, so be aware. But if you want to know what it's like to pen a game, well... this show's for you.

All good.

2021-08-20 19:51:44 +0000 UTCWhat is the point of releasing a podcast if you're just gonna give out the spoilers, I get it's initial release month was June but some of us hadn't heard of the game. What a wasted podcast for myself that I can't listen to now until I've played the game

2021-08-16 05:23:52 +0000 UTCI really loved this episode. If at all possible, I think occasionally interviewing writers or creatives that work on indie games that LSM champions has the potential to be a great little series of shows!

2021-08-15 16:27:02 +0000 UTCThis was a great episode. I think letting John do the detailed writing and you handling the philosophical/treatment/plot beats is a good way to do it. Very excited my man!
