  • Greene Rapture: Sushi on Wheels and Why Clear Game Fantasy Beats Big Ideas - Indie Diary #103
    Oct 26 2026

    I love interviewing cosy game devs! In this episode, I spent some time with Neil from Greene Rapture, an indie game studio based in Ireland. Neil is working on Sushi on Wheels, an adorable cosy management game where you play as a cat running his own sushi business. Beyond the super cute concept, this episode is full of great game design nuggets and ideas. Hope you enjoy! 🎒💛

  • Karl (Teekond Studio): Making Cool Ideas Playable - Indie Diary #102

    In this episode, I spent some time with Teekond Studio from Estonia to talk about Black Powder Magic, a skill-based 2D roguelite shooter that puts choice in the hand of the player. From Elden Ring to LittleBigPlanet, Karl's sources of inspiration are quite surprising! Enjoy. 🎒💛
