ETAO Podcast, Episode 105. http://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/etao.files.wordpress.com/2021/03/etao-podcast-105-chevy-ray.mp3 Chevy Ray has been making games for a long time now—though most of them are currently tough to play; RIP Flash—but is probably best known for Ikenfell, a tactical RPG about going to magic school, working through difficult relationships, and petting a great many cats.  Here Chevy talks about what it means to keep an RPG character-focused, the difference between nuance and subtlety, his love of “setpiece games,” and the significant hidden benefits of pursuing accessibility.  You can get Ikenfell on Steam Humble, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox (where it’s included in GamePass), and Switch. You can get the soundtrack on Bandcamp. ——— • Here’s THE MEATPUNK MANIFESTO. • That game Chevy was talking about was Genital Jousting. • Chevy’s episode of Eggplant is just wonderful. • Cherry Thompson is definitely a person you should know. • As is Ikenfell’s lead sensitivity consultant, Joanna Blackheart. • Those interested in accessibility in games can also check out Can I Play That? and these game accessibility guidelines. • And here’s that Bryce Johnson talk. • If you do want to play the Linda &amp; Joan prologue, “Four Months Earlier,” before listening to the next episode, you can do so here. ——— “All The People Say (Season 4)” by Drew Messinger-Michaels. “Stuck Together 2” and “Paint the Future – Ima’s Theme – Battle 3 (Instrumental)” from the Ikenfell OST by aivi &amp; surasshu.

59: Making Magic with Chevy Ray Johnston (Ikenfell)

Chevy Ray Johnston

Back in 1995 Nintendo decided that it wanted to expand Mario into the realm of RPGs. Who better to work with than the premier RPG developer of the time, Square? The two companies pooled their knowledge and the project was developed mostly by Square with oversight of Shigeru Miyamoto himself... however, 1996's Super Mario RPG isn't really a game that Nintendo would ever consider releasing today. The content ranges from laugh-out-loud slapstick and wordplay to some surprising moments of innuendo - all within the universe of Mario. Does this singular, niche RPG deserve to be called one of the best games period?  Chevy Ray Johnston, the developer of the upcoming indie RPG Ikenfell, joins us to help answer that question! You can find Chevy on Twitter, @ChevyRay, and learn more about Ikenfell on its website: Ikenfell.com Outro music: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 'Honky Town' by Wiesty and XPERTNovice (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03535) You can follow the show on Twitter: @BestGamesPeriod Or download the podcast from Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/thebestgamesperiod Don't forget to sign up for Extra Life to help sick and injured kids in hospitals around the US and Canada by playing games!
