Indie Game Maker Chat with Alex Huntley (Arcworlde and Warp Miniatures) May 25, 2023

We have a special episode of Relicbuds for you this time. Sean spent the morning with Alex Huntley, creator of Arcworlde and Warp Miniatures, for a very fun hangout. Sean and Alex dive into some nitty gritty topics as independent tabletop game makers. This guest spot format is new to the show! It is still a very casual production, but it gives us the opportunity to share even more of the indie game designer adventure with you all. If you'd like to hear more conversations with Alex let us know. I am sure we have a ton more to talk about. Leave a comment and hopefully we will be able to answer your questions in future Relicbuds hangout sessions.

Design, Distraction, Discussion! Feb 17, 2023

The Relicbuds return this week with another episode! In traditional fashion the buds smash their minds together to see what sorts of discussion falls out. This week gets into a lot of things, Sean tries to sculpt a mini live during the show, and fails.(but really succeeds in the end!) Malev talks, and talks, and talks! (that is something he does a lot). But they do manage to go over a wide array of topics including inspiration for games and design, Sean's Iceland trip, creative writing, representation in the tabletop industry. Buckle up and get some hobby ready while you listen to the buds muse.

Ep 7: Catacombs Kickstarter Details Sep 13, 2022

The buds are back in town! Metal King Studio prepares to launch the 6th Relicblade Kickstarter and the Relicbuds dig into the origins of the project and the details of the Kickstarter campaign. Many of the Relicbuds episodes so far have centered on the Catacombs of Kural solo/coop adventure. Now, after nearly a year of struggling to complete the project, Sean and Malev are prepared to launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the Catacombs of Kural!

Ep 6: Aug-Suul Playtest Aug 17, 2022

Cool fellows, Sean and Malev bonk their brain-holders together a bit about the latest updates and changes to the Aug-Suul faction, with a little dip-dive on some playtesting, Aug-Suul studio paint scheme and thoughts about painting, and a battle that was fought with lots of new upgrades! If you find yourself distracted and or frustrated with Malev's audio like he is, you can instead laugh at the Irony that is: because of the high powered condenser mic he feels is necessary, he also feels a gate is necessary, but he apparently has no idea how that works. The audio engineer has been fired. Also it's me, Malev.. talking in the third person and firing myself. Next episode will be better!

Ep 2: Campaign Craft May 13, 2022

It is another beautiful day at Metal King Studio. Little metal goblins rush here and there packing orders and shaping tin into toy soldiers. As the servants of the Metal King are hard at work, the Relicbuds dig into some Relicblade gaming theory. Is Relicblade more like D&D or Warhammer? Is it like Frostgrave or Mordheim? If we were about to launch a Relicblade campaign with a friend, what exactly would we do to prepare?? These are fun questions with some surprising answers. As usual, we get excited and get lost in our imagination.

Ep1 - Commando Panic May 06, 2022

This week, the RelicBuds burst into a conversation about Cretaceous Commandos™, 3D printing, and the curse of creative inspiration. Some days, being inspired and following that inspiration puts important work on the back burner. But burst of creativity are a gift from the heavens. Ride that dragon, my boy!!!!

Relicbuds: Episode 0 Apr 28, 2022

Welcome,

This is episode zero of Relicbuds: A Metal King Studio Podcast. This podcast is part Metal King Studio newsletter and part outlet for deep thoughts about games design, art making, and raw brainstorming. It is essentially an entertaining studio hang out session with a couple of your favorite creators.

In this primer episode, Sean and Malev explore some thoughts about being independent artists these days. There is a battle going on in our eccentric brains. We contend with the pull between becoming an insane wizard-hermit who toils alone and the desire to reconnect with the world and our art and gaming communities.

We also muse at length about making art, writing, and some game design theory. This podcast episode, being episode zero, has some audio issues. We are working on sorting all that out. Nevertheless, join us on our journey of friendship and creativity.

Your Friend,

Sean Sutter
