In the maiden voyage of The Koopa Cast, we chat about the origin stories of both the podcast itself and its host. We chat with independent developer Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe about his game Arco - the organic nature of the game's development, the consideration paid to every element of the game and why you should give one of the most slept on games of 2024 a try. Plus, early thoughts on Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club and a few news items!
