Maximum Utcast – 15 – Abiding, Correcting, and Disclosing

It took 15 episodes but we finally know how to make the perfect podcast! We’re abiding by the rules, correcting our past mistakes, and disclosing any potential conflicts of interest which means no one can say we’re doing it wrong! Jonathan talked with game developer Talha Kaya of Talha & Jack Co. about their new game ABIDE which brings a unique art style to the first person horror game experience. Elsewhere, Zoey corrects her prior error regarding the continuity of the Castlevania series by doing a deep dive on the original game’s Japanese manual. We get a few updates from what games Jonathan and Zoey are playing (Beastieball and the Pragmata demo) plus we learn that disclosures can be like farts.

Daniel is a podcast producer and musician who spends way too much time in the edit to make audio sound as good as possible. He’s cutting the “umms” and “uhhhs” and replacing them with cartoon sound effects. His taste in video games is often extremely specific, and he’s recently learned that a lot of his opinions about video games are bad and wrong, but that won’t stop him from having them. His music was featured in Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons. He's been producing podcasts since 2021.
