Podcast highlights and developer focus
The hosts opened by reviewing recent topics on the show (last week’s episode covered Splatoon Raiders and Star Fox) before shifting to an in-depth look at Brisbane-based indie developer Prideful Sloth and its upcoming project, Go-Go Town.
Prideful Sloth is best known for Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles and Grow: Song of the Evertree, and the podcast included hands-on impressions of the new title.
According to the hosts, the team spent time with Go-Go Town and shared measured impressions that referenced Prideful Sloth’s prior design strengths in open, community-focused experiences.

The episode also discussed current demo releases and player interest.
The hosts noted that a demo for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is now available, and they returned the Demo Direct segment to analyze demos for Moonlight Peaks and Digimon Story.
In a conversational segment, the podcast observed recent commercial momentum for Rhythm Heaven in Japan’s sales charts and questioned timing around certain demo drops.
Kirk’s Corner and community notes
