Episode 6 - Where Indie Meets Comedy
Games are amazing at offering engaging narratives, producing artistic and jaw-dropping visuals, and keeping you on the hook with addictive gameplay. However, we want to ask a question a little out of left field. Are games any good at being funny?
In this episode, Melika, JT, and Cal discuss how indie games handle humor, whether indie games offer a range of comedic approaches, and whether the industry as a whole has the ability to deliver the same laugh-a-minute standards as TV, Film, and stand-up.
Also, they trio do their usual runthrough of the games on their radar, and the games they have 'done been playin'.
Here's a quick list of the games featured on this podcast:
- The Bookwalker- Supraland: 6-inches Under- Gylt- Amnesia: The Bunker- Rakuen- Dave The Diver- Norco (again)- Clive N Wrench- Behind The Frame- My Friend Peppa Pig (Not even sorry)- Sifu- Citizen Sleeper- A Hat In TimePokemon Wally Quest ROM Hack
