There have been a lot of exciting TRAUMA news recently. One major bomb is coming up soon. I can’t post everything at once. But here are 3 interesting bits. TRAUMA has been mentioned on 3 recent podcasts.
First and probably most important would be an 1-hour interview on the Experience Points Podcast. I have been posting a lot about the show by Jorge Albor and Scott Juster. It’s because I’m enjoying the show a great deal. They manage to present a given topic from a lot of different perspectives while keeping the show short and to the point. And it’s certainly not humorless! It’s probably among my favorite podcasts on the web. It’s not the first time I have been on the show. I visited them in person at GDC 2010. But this time we really dig into the discussion of TRAUMA and how it came together. I think it came out really great.

Another major appearance of TRAUMA on podcast was a recent episode of Weekend Confirmed. The show’s regular Jeff Mattas aka Indie Jeff selected TRAUMA for one of the two games to be featured and discussed on the show. They mentioned it already on a previous show when they were reporting on the IndieCade festival, but this time they talked about the actual game in great detail. It was a brief discussion but I was immensely pleased how they managed to characterize pretty much every important aspect of the game. Even down to the game to be able to be played by non-gamers. They mentioned a lot of stuff I wasn’t sure people would pick up or appreciate.

Finally, the game has been mention on a recent episode of Interactive Distractions. I was very surprised by that. Interactive Distractions is a podcast that has usually more core-gamer topics. That’s one of the reasons I listen to it in the first place. I was curious to find out what they would say to something like TRAUMA so I sent the game to the podcast crew. I was surprised to hear that they actually played and liked the game! It just confirms that my theory of the infinitively flexible audience.

There are probably more podcast out there. I certainly already recorded one interview. I haven’t gotten to it yet. Will post it when I do! Until then, enjoy the podcasts. They are all excellent shows. That’s why I’m so thrilled to hear them mention my game.
