For years, I hoped NPR, NYTimes, or the ghost of Gimlet would make a video game podcast. A weekly, hour-long audio magazine with essays, interviews, tight editing, and a cheeky sense of humor.
Nobody made the show I wanted to hear.
So, I made it myself.
Here's the first episode of Post Games.

How long do y’all stick with gray boxing before swapping in real assets?
Is it cool to build the whole game with blocks and drop the art in at the end, or does that mess with the feel too much?
Genuinely curious how people handle this.

How do you prefer knockback to feel in a 2D action game? Can include player, enemy or both. Some ideas:
1. Quick and snappy
2. Slower w/ more weight
3. Directional based on hit
4. No knockback at all
5. Something else
