Episode notes
Origin Screenshot Rekindled The Collab
- EposVox found a 2011 Twitter DM that sparked the Dual Comm collaboration and shared it on the one-year anniversary show.
- The rediscovered message traced their friendship from Yaush forums through Skype to Discord and inspired nostalgia about forums and early collabs.
Demos Convey Feel Better Than Streams
- Demos and in-store kiosks conveyed game feel in ways streamed content cannot, especially for tactile or haptic-driven games.
- AAA studios now often rely on creators for demos while indie platforms like Steam Next Fest revive demo discovery.
Actively Seek Demos On Stores
- Search Steam, Nintendo eShop, and console stores for demos rather than waiting for them to be obvious.
- Use Steam's Browse > Top Destinations > Demos filter and check demo collections during events like Next Fest.
