Game Bytes

It’s a cozy two-man episode of the GameBytes Show! But is it also a love triangle? This week Dale and Jeremy played the Project Triangle Strategy demo, despite its awful name. Combining substantial cumulative experience with Final Fantasy Tactics and the Tactics Ogre series, we break down the details of this newly-announced squad tactics game from the Octopath people. Dale also takes us note-by-note through the tone-linking puzzle game AVSEQ!

In this week’s news episode, we try to catch you up on the latest stocks and stonks, as well as look back at some other interesting arithmetic from last year. We look at new announcements and partnerships, say goodbye to old character-based arena games, and we finally get a small taste of new-console-mania. Plus, we investigate game-adjacent ways we wouldn’t mind making some moolah at a hypothetical day job.

Intro: “Foreman Grall Boss Battle” – Battleborn, by Cris Velasco, Kevin Riepl, & Mike Rubino
Outro: “Feel This Way” – Bleeding Edge, by Jamie Molloy

Turns out it’s a slightly slow news week, so we fill a ton of time by talking about varying nerdy interests, including movies. It’s fine! We get one from time to time. But we also cover the video game news, including the return of Lucasfilm Games, a new budget-tier video card, PC gaming’s answer to the Nintendo Switch, a new cool mode for Axiom Verge, and Nicholas Cage cashes in on NOT-the-Five-Nights-at-Freddy’s movie!
