Mechanically Complex or Complex Mechanics?
Delayed episode but join Jordan and Dee as they talk about mechanics in survival titles. Does the addition of food automatically make it survival? (Half the titles in the past six months want to know!) What mechanics make it just...chefs kiss??
Some audio hiccups but did my best to edit them out. As always come check us out at the https://www.hashtagsurvival.net/ (Hashtag Survival website) and pop into the Discord!

Asset Flips Yes/No?
What makes an asset flip? Is this podcast an asset flip?? Join Jordan and Dee as they ramble (part ramble, part meander) on about asset flips and the developers that love them.

Survival games and...LE COMBAT! (Or just Combat)
Jordan and Dee talk about combat in survival games. Why are we fighting zombies? What's the best thing to fight zombies with?

Snoring in the Zombie Apocalypse: When is reality too much?

Broken Audio Sucks- Monthly Recap
We're aware of some audio issues with this recording. It wasn't something that could be fixed in post - we think maybe a shaky internet connection was the culprit. We apologize and hope you enjoy our rambling regardless!
We take some time to go over the previous podcast(s) and any decent news from March- plus sad stuff like the delay of Sons of the Forest!

Why Valheim Isn't Survival!
Join us as we discuss what is essentially my favorite hill to die on (if that's even a thing): why I don't personally consider Valheim a survival game. Or at the very least why it's just as far under the survival umbrella as Super Mario World.
I know this title seems a bit clickbait-ish and maybe it is! I tried to google about clickbait titles to make sure I wasn't making one and instead came across the title "13 things you didn't know about starfish romance" and now I'm upset that THAT isn't the topic of this podcast.

Inventory and Me. Er, you!
Dee and I take a crack at our first podcast episode and dive into survival game inventory systems- why are they one of the cornerstones (unsung hero, really) of a survival game?
What types of inventory setups will players come across in a survival game- and how can that change the entire game experience?
