Woah! It's back!

How can one piece of news be both great and really sad at the same time?

Oh wow I didn't even know this was a thing until just now. Well, I guess I have all the old episodes to listen to! Great work.

Really sad to hear this is the final episode! Discovered and listened to all the old episodes from the start during a personal rough spot last year, and it was both an inspiration and a really great comfort to hear you chat about the ags community/game design/everything else. You will be missed!

Thanks for the years of free entertainment (and for making your upload schedule it's own kind of exciting puzzle

)

Thanks Grundi and Ben for your (ten!) years of service. For a long time, BCT was my only source of intelligent conversation about adventure game design and development. The show eventually (pretty directly) led to me quitting my career and starting work on commercial AGS titles many moons ago. The adventure game landscape is different now than it was in 2012 when the show got off the ground, and I hope you're proud that you're partly responsible for re-shaping it over the years!

Man. I had forgotten about this image. I don't know how. And now I may never forget it ever again.

Thank you.

Listening to this episode reminded me how stimulating and inspirational it is to listen to you talk about adventure game design questions. It makes me, at least, want to try the design methods you propose, test the limits of your analysis, and argue with your conclusions. It gives me ideas I want to explore and names of games I want to play.

It was great to have you back for one final episode, but I'll really miss the podcast.

I had to dig through an old stack of CD-RWs to find the original. That's how old that picture is!

Great topic for the final episode. I'm already rethinking an inventory puzzle on a game I'm currently working on. Thanks for that, CupCast team. You are already missed.

Thanks for all the podcasting, boys. I'm pretty sure I listened to every episode.

I just became aware of this podcast and started listening from episode 1. It really is a pleasent distraction for when I walk to work and you two make entertaining podcast hosts! :-) Too bad the latest episode is the last, but I am glad there is so many episodes to listen to.

I used to listen to the podcast from time to time during my commute and unfortunately realized this week that the links to all episodes were now dead. I was wondering if they've been archived somewhere by someone by any chance?

This also got me to finally register on the forum after lurking for a long time. So "hi everyone"!

What a shame! I've archived all episodes here for posterity:
