Remap Radio

It’s time to take The Warden’s Oath and listen to a new episode of Remap Radio, as Patrick, Janet, Chia, Rob, and Danika break down the wild ups and downs of the latest confused live service game, Highguard. We also sigh in the direction of a video game publication pivoting to AI, then sigh in the direction of Mewgenics, a game that Patrick quite liked before its designer decided to publicly step in it over and over. Elsewhere, we chat about a few other games, including Love Eternal and the mysterious Titanium Court, and then answer several of your questions.

Platformers are not a genre exactly known for their storytelling prowess, but Love Eternal, described as a “psychological horror platformer,” is trying to be different. It’s also one of the hardest platformers in a minute. Why is Love Eternal putting so much effort into a story many players might not experience? Patrick talked with Love Eternal designer Toby Alden to find out.

It’s a return to normalcy on Remap Radio, as we finally wave goodbye to 2025. Join Janet, Rob, Patrick, Chia, and Danika as they sort through reactionary “protect the children” changes coming to Discord, prompting a wide ranging discussion about the state of the modern internet. We also worry about the future of Remedy, talk through the final games on Danika’s game of the year list, and have plenty of (new!) games to talk about, including Cairn, Reanimal, and more!

The Super Bowl has happened, and for a rare moment goodness prevailed, as the New England Patriots were not just beaten—they were humiliated. Patrick and Rob cannot help but clap like seals, even if the game itself wasn’t that great. Plus, we chat about the sweaty amount of AI commercials during the Big Game, the coolness of the Olympic “Gold Zone,” and how Rob’s continued interest in mediocre Chicago Bulls roster constructions has hit a logical end.

Between the success of Super Meat Boy and Binding of Isaac, you might assume designer Edmund McMillen is feeling confident going into the release of his latest game, the tactics-focused Mewgenics. But it turns out self esteem issues, insecurity, and hoping people like what you’ve made is not a feeling that ever goes away, no matter how many people buy your games.
