In this week's episode, we interview the artist Bill Harbison, who has worked on many iconic games, from Ocean Software's Daley Thompson's Challenge, to Robocop, then all the way to Lawn Mowing Simulator! We discuss the start of his career, the highs and the challenges and to be honest, this really could have been our first 4hr episode, but we thought we'd let him go! He's currently working on a game for a company called Spliced Inc., with a Rockstar Games and Travellers Tales pedigree, which we will hopefully get him back on to talk about when he can! https://www.splicedinc.com/
After the interview, we chat about games we've been playing, A Plague Tale : Requiem, Gameboy games, Cyberpunk 2077 : Phantom Liberty, and of course - Palworld.
That last one then provides another discussion about this phenomenon, Ark meets Pokemon, but it's not Pokemon....or is it? It's certainly caused a stir!
We also discuss the Xbox Developer Direct which finally revealed the Indiana Jones game from Machine Games, more Avowed from Obsidian and another in the Mana rpg series, which one are you looking forward to?
With pong home consoles, Indiana Jones games, a technical issue in the middle that should have challenged Duncan's editing skills, but he decided to keep in(!) and more, this is a jam-packed episode, and we hope you enjoy! Find all our links at linktr.ee/TheGamingPubcast
