PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 47: Eat The Crumpets Of SinThank you to Tony Vorrath for the new art! Check out @Vorratony on twitter for more of that good stuff.
Folks, the energy has gone weird. There's no avoiding it, so we just have to plough through and get to the facts: a retraction needs made in the wake of CD Projekt's reign of abject bullshit, we address some huge indie hits that rose to prominence while we were away, the reccomendation floodgates open (for most of us) and we finally figure out a use for that old mansion on the moon.2021-02-132h 07

Everything is somewhat fuck, and not even the moon can escape. Unsure how to keep themselves from being forced into a conflict they were specifically trying to avoid, the Indie Haven Podcast crew turn themselves to sorting through the events that have transpired while they were gone: the itch.io bundle for racial justice, Warframe selling to Tencent in a predictable conclusion to what was supposed to be a very hopeful story, and Swery...oh fucking hell, Swery.2020-08-031h 28

Additionally: the gang faces a new enemy as well as the impending loss of an old friend, Bloodstained came out and is Castlevania, the Telltale situation got weirder, and Josh determines how the crew stacks up in the mother of all bank heists.

A ressurection takes place, a citrus compromise is made, dogs make the wrong noise and - perhaps most importantly - the stars reveal a new Dark Souls boss that was inside us (specifically Josh) all along. There's also videogames if you care about that sort of thing: Deltarune chat, Minecraft Story Mode winding up on Netflix somehow, the Epic Games dance travesty and that time steam got investigated in Brazil for facilitating hate crimes because of course it did.2018-12-291h 56PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 34: DoppelganderIt's back, and it means business!

PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 9: I Want to Believe in the Sea of GreedSometimes a single dream can change the world - particularly when that dream involves Waluigi.
The Indie Haven Podcast team discover Wally Gladstone, a character who isn't Waluigi for legal reasons but will give his best approximation in order to recreate the open world Waluigi pirate game that exists only in the dream world. Will Nintendo seize on this interest and make it an official Waluigi game? Almost definitely not.
In amongst the Waluigi-based wonder, there's also the matter of what Edmund McMillen means by "things", why it's taken so long to get a dad dating sim, and whether merely...2017-07-121h 24

PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 7: The Proletariat Have Nothing to Lose But Their BamzookiWe're back with a Zook-tastic episode for you, filled with thrills, spills, and existential dread-ridden monstrosities, oh, and this week's indie game news I guess. And yes I know I say in the episode that this would be up two days ago, but I was carried off by birds for a minute so you can't blame me.

PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 6: Cool Pokémon Scat Pile (Greenshite Fleshlight)The Young'ins of assorted gender are back in town for an intensely scatological deep dive into the worlds of Valve's baffling business decisions and that big video games thing with the three vowels, you know the one. Joined by an array of colourful characters such as Hatsune Miku, Chad Whimsy and Dave from Suffolk, the gang is back to bring you the latest indie game news and some rather interesting ideas for a new television program.

PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 5: Present Your Entry SpongeThe Indie Haven podcast hits peak intrigue as infamous master trickster Wentworth Miller returns and lays down a curious gambit. To make matters worse, David cage has vanished without a trace and not even the BBC de-facto world police can track him down. Will freelance detective Josh Rivers be too busy decoding Edmund McMillen's soft-announcement of a new video game to crack the case? It's a thrilling rollercoaster of a show that's almost as action-packed as Men in Black, so strap in and hold on to your hats!

PodHavenThe Indie Haven Podcast Episode 4: Put These Clowns In The Sea For MeClown City! It's the city of clowns. It's on the rooftops every night, please.
Amidst yet more concerns over the Rube Goldberg machine that is Steam, the gang gets together once again to deliver the kind of top quality chat you've come to expect from the Indie Haven podcast. George comes bearing an immensely on-brand indie game pick of the week, Elodie mourns an insect, David Cage returns with some slanderous accusations, and Josh refuses to be silenced.
Oh, and another indie studio got threatened with a ludicrously spurious copyright lawsuit. What a surprise.
