Hello! By the time you read these notes (does anyone?!) I will already be on holiday and, as I still have to pack(!) these notes will be 'short' and 'sweet'! This week we're 'joined' by SSG Ste Curran! Here to finally name the secret game he's been mentioning for ages whilst inventing a whole new games genre (sub-genre?) and to generally co-host the show! Speaking of games! Here are some very important links that I'm contractually obligated to post: Simon's upcoming game releases:The Royal Writ (I've played this and it is very good!)Monster Mop UpSte's upcoming game releases:Mindset GO! (no link yet, sorry folks. Coming soon!) Beyond that there's also something about cruising for Disney princesses, some news, reviews and a letter about some bloke called Simski Byrite coming back to haunt Simon (link to relevant article might appear on our Discord but it is on the internet for anyone interested to search for...)

GTA6. "Exclusives" - #584

Content warning: This week there is blood. There may also be some gore but that's all down to how good/bad your imagination is. In this week's episode Simon gives out sound financial advice that could help fund your gaming addicition and Ste tries to cut off his own finger - not on air! We also cover Gamepass being under fire yet again, Hideo Kojima wants to go into orbit, AI uh oh, Nintendo Direct speculation and DK Bananza dev revealed... There is also GTA6. There are also "exclusives". Make of that what you will. What are the greatest lengths you've gone to to save money on a video game? And who has to update Bang Man!?? Let us know at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and let us know on there. Link below! Life can be difficult, is often cruel and, sometimes, far too short.

Just a Joke - #583

Content warning: There was some swearing in this episode. Don't worry, it has been replaced by BLEEEEEEPs but I'm giving you a heads up now so that your imagination doesn't run too wild upon hearing those BLEEEEEEPs. I've kept the un-BLEEEEEEPed version in case anyone wants to pay good money for such filth in future. Also, apologies for any mouse-clicks and chair-squeaking that could be heard on recent episodes. I'll start the rumour now: I add those noises in to hide the fact that the show has been entirely done by AI for the past, I dunno, 5 years? Yeah, go with that. Anyway, welcome to our Glastonbury 2025 coverage episode! This week our intrepid hosts tackle the Xbox multiplatform strategy, PEAK selling millions, dbrand's Switch 2 blunder, Netflix culling games and a potential Black Flag remake. There's also a plan for Japan, Randy Pitchford speaks, Barcode Battler gets the briefest of mentions, Simon plays Switch 2 with other Dads in a park and Ste reveals his love of toilet roll. Sorry. The boys also take a serious (no, really) look at networking at game conferences courtesy of some excellent listener correspondance! See, this is what can happen when you actually write in to us: quality content!! YOU can give us some more quality content by writing to us at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and deliver your discourse there. Link below! Going to Develop 2025 in Brighton next week?

The Joy of Game Dev - #582

Welcome to another podcast edition of One Life Left, the world's longest running video game radio show (in the English language)! This week we are joined by Super Special Guest Mike Bithell of Bithell Games, here to talk about their new game, TRON: Catalyst, working with licences, the mysteries of the Disney Archive and what he doesn't want to talk about... There's also 'heated' debate about Donkey Kong, Nintendo have an accident underground, Charlesbot flips out over third party Switch 2 games and Ste and Simon's partners run away to Sheffield with Adam & Joe! Well, wouldn't you?? Meanwhile The Art of Video Game Design nears the end of it's course! A great philosopher once said "freedom is the right of all sentient beings" and that was never truer than right here, dear listener! And it actually works with most media - if there's ever something you don't like, just skip it. You are that sentient being. You have that freedom. Would you prefer $7200 or two weeks off work? We can't make either happen but let us know anyway at team@onelifeleft.com or join our Discord and tell us there. Link below!
