Episode 81 - The Rise of Nightdive (w/ Stephen Kick)
Nightdive is synonymous with meticulous remaster work. Be it for their treatment of System Shock, the Turok trilogy, Blood, or countless others, the name means something. That all started with one guy: Stephen Kick. CEO of Nightdive, his story is an entertaining one that starts with a bit of hustle, but is backed up by passion and dedication to every product that's come out since the company's inception. We talk about the journey, we talk about some fun anecdotes before Nightdive, and, of course, we talk about the upcoming Thief: The Dark Project Remastered.

Episode 80 - Composing Video Game Music w/ Fat Bard
One of the most competitive sides of the games industry is music composition. There are so many talented musicians and not enough games for them all, so it says a lot about the select few who can make a full-time career out of it. Fat Bard is one of those examples, and being hot off the heels of composing the Bubsy 4D OST, there was no better time to have them on to discuss their journey and the wide range of titles they've contributed to. The duo, Patrick Crecelius and Zach Fendelman, have been collaborating for about 15 years now, and we cover quite a lot, including some real-time revelations and work on a previous Atari project.

BONUS Episode - The Road to Bubsy 4D w/ Fabraz
Bubsy 4D is finally here. Not only is it an important release for us at Atari, but it marks the SECOND important release for developer Fabraz in the span of about three months. This would be a feat for a large studio, so it's even more impressive that it was accomplished by a team of less than ten full-time developers. How did they do it? How did they get here? I wanted to dive deep into all of it, so I invited Ben Miller and Fabian Rastorfer, co-founders of Fabraz, to join me to talk all about themselves and the journey that led to this moment.
