Blue Cup Tools Podcast

It's the 10th anniversary of the Blue Cup Tools Podcast! It's also our FINAL EPISODE! Thanks for listening!

Merry Christmas from Blue Cup Tools! Catching up on the second half of 2020 with lots of technical art talk!

We're back after almost a year, and what a year it's been! But we don't talk about any of that stuff, instead we discuss "flavor" characters in games.

Going back to basics? We chat about certain simple things that are easily forgettable, and Grundislav teaches you more than you'd ever want to know about Jeff Koons!.

Ben regales us with his thoughts and experiences attending his very first GDC.

After a half year hiatus, we return to talk about our 2018s!

After a brief hiatus, we return to talk about game jams!

Talking about sound design. Apologies for the messed up syncing towards the end of the episode.

Grundislav tells us about GDC, and we talk about making changes to games after they've been released.

After a 3 month hiatus, we return with a listener-submitted question: Do we finally feel we can make the games we want without any limitations?

All about self-care.

Non-linearity and complex protagonists: why you can't have both. Also, why are adventure game protagonists such jerks?

Beta testing.

Taking different approaches.

Knowing when to give up.

We're back! A chat about community relations.

MAZES!

We are joined by Jacob Janerka, developer of Paradigm, to discuss his experiences making the game and learn what wisdom he imparts for first time developers!

Discussing readability and spotlighting in background composition. Also, we've been podcasting for 5 years!

We talk about difficulty and challenges in adventure games!
