• Future Proof Podcast 044 - Not Some Sort of Weird-Ass Ad
    Jun 27 2024

    It's been a while, and summer is here! Summer sales are literally right around the corner, and this episode brings news of our doings over the spring. You can listen to this month's episode below or read the transcript.

    In the episode, we discuss:

    1. Our stressful but successful server migration.
    2. The coolness that is Rosette Diceless, which will be on sale in late July on DriveThruRPG. The "Still Waters Run Deep" mini campaign we mention can be found on YouTube and The Great Molasses Flood mini campaign is part of Tabletop Garden.
    3. Other summer sales are imminent, including Steam and itch.io sales! We'll post when those kick off on the blog, cohost, and twitter.
    4. And last, but never least, a plug for our free one-page tabletop roleplaying system "Awaiting the End", a game about a group of people in a terrible Place awaiting an impending Doom.

    You can subscribe to this podcast in Apple Podcasts, YouTube Podcasts, or via RSS feed.

  • Future Proof Podcast 041 - Acting a Fool
    Sep 26 2023

    We're sighing out the overwhelming heat of summer and breathing in the more temperate air of autumn. You can listen to this month's episode below, read the transcript, or watch the video.

    We talk about:

    1. The development status of Exploit: Zero Day's first paid season of story "Headless Swarm"
    2. The Before the Future Came debut! While Star Trek remains struck work, we're focusing on the values in broader utopian science fiction works.
    3. The ever-shifting situation with Unity's plans to charge developers on a per-install basis, which have since been walked back substantially. References:
      • The original Unity blog post outlining the ridiculous new policy
      • Kotaku's early reporting covers much of the industry's confusion and concerns
      • Unity's Sept 22 blog post partially walking this policy back answers some of the open questions
      • Andi's (@mcc) analysis of the costs of the Unreal Engine vs Unity contains a noteworthy graph
    4. "The Majesty of Colors" departure from the iOS App Store

  • Future Proof Podcast 039 - Not to Rant Too Much
    May 23 2023

    These last two months have brought some "fun" encounters with 3rd party platforms, but we've tried to contain our complaining to be more informative than just ranting. You can listen below, read the transcript, or watch the video.

    2. The complications of Twitter and Exploit: Zero Day. If you need to add an additional login method, do so on your account page.
    3. The Majesty of Colors' update to stay in compliance with Google Play, which gave us Unity-related trouble!
    4. The TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Florida Bundle final report! If you bought it, you own Rosette Diceless and the Companion.
