34: Getting Over Spelunky with Bennett Foddy

Dec 20, 2019

With the help of our friend Bennett Foddy (QWOP, Getting Over It) we consider Spelunky as the Game of the Decade - we discuss what influence it's had (or hasn't had) in and beyond its genre, its distinct connection to Dark Souls, and experiencing the external narrative of modern gaming.

Things we discussed:

Bennett Foddy's games

Ape Out

TIGSource

Tim Rogers Presents The Games of the Decade

Finishing a Game by Derek Yu

Vagante

Characteristics of Games

Assassination of Lord British

Reasons and Persons book

Put Your Name on Your Game GDC talk
