As much as I love talking about the gaming news of the week every episode, my favorite

shows that we do are the ones where we get to dive deeply into a single game and this is one of those

shows. I also love it when I get to hang out with Kelly

Lombardi. Kelly how you doing? Hi I'm great how are you? All right I'm

really happy you're joining us here for this dive episode. I'm really excited

this is a game that is near and dear to my heart that I'm so excited for and is one of my most anticipated releases

So can't wait to get into it always a good sign when the developers show up to the studio and they give you a hug and I'm like okay all right

we've I picked the right co-host here this week so on this special episode we're

actually going to meet the creators of Tower Board and we're also gonna get a

look at some brand new gameplay so hey let's meet them hello Tricia Stauper you're the

CEO and president of Stoic and Daniel McLaren we'll just call you McLaren for the

rest of the episode the game director here now I personally know Stoic as the developers of the awesome and influential Banner saga series where I made some very poor decisions while playing but enjoyed it all the same. Help us get to know Stoic.

Absolutely Stoic, uh, independent video game developer, been around for 12 years.

Started with three people who made the original Banner Saga.

I've grown from that to 5 to 12 and 20

when I joined it back in 2020.

And I'm about to hire my 100th person to the studio and this whole team is

dedicated to Tower Born and bringing that to the audience.

Very excited because we are going to be doing that here.

In fact, we're going to do something a little bit different for this episode.
