I would love to see folks #speedrun Monochrome Heights. Go ahead and skip all my narrative work (though I'm proud of it), because @pdyx.bsky.social put in considerable effort to make the game fun to play and it deserves to have more folks check it out. store.steampowered.com/app/2336210/...
LOOK WHO’S BACK! For the SEVENTH anniversary of the pod, Matthew Stoner and @pdyx.bsky.social reminisce on their shared history with David Howe. Oh AND they break down the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Listen wherever you get podcasts or watch the video version on YouTube: youtu.be/dD0KtrJo6H4
Oh this would probably be my pick too. The harp music, the plants, the great vegetarian choices.
Wha???
2026 PREDICTIONS EPISODE! As we say goodbye to the insane year that was Nintendo's 2025, we're joined by @pdyx.bsky.social to go over everything we know is coming in 2026, and drop some ideas about what we'd like to see for Switch 2. Check it out on youtube below or wherever you enjoy podcasts!!!
NEW EPISODE
A longer break than usual, but that's December.
I had a great time playing the games covered in this episode, and an even better time learning about the ups and downs of indie development from @pdyx.bsky.social (aka @onefroggames.bsky.social).

Super nice review of Monochrome Heights from the fine folks over at SUPERJUMP!
Really enjoyed talking about the new Steam Machine and our collective excitement for the new Valve hardware that was recently announced!
Whoah!
Most people: "Woah!"
Writers: "Whoa!"
PC Gamer:
No, you have too many animal bowls on YOUR kitchen counter!
Me and my absolutely normal amount of controllers are fine.
No, you have too many controllers on YOUR desk!
Why is it that when I am testing specifically for a bug that I want to fix I cannot get it to happen but it seems to happen all the time when I'm not working on it?
I wrote up my thoughts and feelings about releasing the indie video game I made, Monochrome Heights, in a final devlog published on @bossrush.net. I'm thankful to have had this outlet to talk about making the game and close out the series with an honest reflection.

@gamegrin.com reviewed Monochrome Heights! In particular we love this quote, "Monochrome Heights is an incredibly challenging game that I really like, but damn it makes me angry."

Even after working on this game for so long, I still love all the music in Monochrome Heights. Check out the full OST over on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxl...
I get that a lot.
Monochrome Heights has been updated to v. 1.0.2! An update for the demo to address various issues and bring the demo up to parity with the full game release is planned for some time later this week.

I'm so thankful to have had the chance to come back on the @switchheadz.bsky.social podcast and talk about Monochrome Heights. Without that community I wouldn't have been able to make and finish this game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtiW...
Love you man, thank you for coming and for the print!
Had a great time at the launch party for @onefroggames.bsky.social 's MONOCHROME HEIGHTS!! So proud of Patrick and it was great to get all three of the OG Switch Headz back together in person ❤️
When my son was an infant I spent many nights trying to rock him to sleep. Across from the rocker hung a string of paper robots. I stared at those robots for so long that I named them and gave them backstories. Now, about ten years later, I've made a video game that stars those robots.
Slide on over to Steam and pick up Monochrome Heights!
