@nacho - Thanks for talking about Unify! It’s my first game and I’m a one-person studio so marketing has been an adventure!
I’m so glad you guys are enjoying it!

well, one person and my friend who did the audio

Nice Podcast. Paul did a great job and had some excellent info.
Favorite bit was the end part you slipped in there - should be a regular feature!

Best podcast yet. Easily better than the terrible Pocket Gamer podcasts and even better than the Slide To Play podcasts. Paul was great, it was good to hear about Astro Ranch and the fantastic sounding CJS 2. Hearing the stuff about self publish vs publisher was very useful, I’ve been interested in how that works. Overall, great podcast. I bought Unify and Moonlights after hearing you guys talk about them, and I’m impressed with Unify.

Matt,
Meteor Blitz is a clone of Super Stardust on the Playstation Network. FYI
Dan on Fri, 25th Sep 2009 9:32 pm
@kevin, I heard that mentioned by slide to play as well. I’m thinking about picking it up based on Matt’s comments.
Kevin on Fri, 25th Sep 2009 10:55 pm
I bought it today and it’s very good. I would play Super Stardust on the PSP. Both good experiences.

Just a quick correction. The Zune HD does actually have multi-touch and an accelerometer.
