Remap Radio: $22.99 Has a Bad Vibe Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

The biggest move since Xbox installed a new CEO is a familiar move: changing the price of Game Pass. Which gets the Remap Radio crew into a long consideration of the vibes around various price points. Does $8.99 feel good? Does $11.99? Join Rob, Janet, Chia, and Patrick as they consider money, before talking about Gamers (tm) suing Nintendo over tariffs, Rob’s early experiences in Crimson Desert, Chia and Patrick exploring Titanium Court, and much more.

Reminder: Last year, the pro-Palestinian human rights movement BDS that’s pressuring Israel by promoting boycotts, divestment, and sanctions against the country added Xbox to its boycott list. Learn more here: https://www.bdsmovement.net/news/boycott-microsofts-xbox

The Story of Minishoot’ Adventures Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

When Séverin Larose was a kid, he would hang out with his cousin and watch him play games. That’s the key word: watch. Larose’s parents long had a zero tolerance policy for games. Decades later, Larose would partner with his cousin to rise to the top of the Flash game charts and eventually create one of the best Metroidvania games of the past few years, Minishoot’ Adventures. (And, yes, by the end of this interview you’ll understand the apostrophe thing.)

1000xResist’s Developers Are Back With a New Game Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

1000xResist was one of Remap’s favorite games from a few years back. Would you be shocked to learn that Patrick jumped at the chance to chat with 1000xResist creative director Remy Siu about developer Sunset Visitor’s new game, Prove You’re Human? Both are joined by Abby Howard and Toby Howard-Arias of Slay the Princess fame, who’ve decided to jump into publishing by partnering with Sunset Visitor on a new game that asks a compelling question: “An AI dares to dream she is human. You’re been hired to put her in her place.” Could you?

Games Feel Doomed. We Tried to Find Hope at PAX East Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Every day is a fresh horror in the world of games, but no matter what happens to the “industry,” the art isn’t going away. Where does one find hope? Patrick went shopping for hope at PAX East and came way inspired after chatting with a series of interesting developers, including El Paso, Elsewhere director (and Hellraiser voice actor!!) Xalavier Nelson Jr., Paranormal Activity: Threshold designer Brian Clarke (also responsible for the excellent The Mortuary Assistant), and more. Plus, in a lovely twist, Patrick was able to chat with several developers working on video games who are active parts of the Remap community, too. If that’s not hope, what is?

3:26 - Xalavier Nelson Jr.

28:16 - Paranormal Activity

48:57 - Croak

1:01:40 - Barty's Adventure

Live From Rob’s Compound Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

A trip to PAX East means we’re not that far from Rob’s extremely normal house! Patrick and Chia hopped in a car to inspect the fabled grounds for themselves, before they piled into Rob’s office to chat about spotting Charlie Kirk t-shirts at on the show floor, a bunch of neat games Chia and Patrick played, and a long recounting of an excellent recent game of John Company.

10 Years of Being Max Caulfield Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

Max “Hella” Caulfield may have the ability to manipulate time and space, but despite her superpowers, it’s more than likely that this week’s release of Life Is Strange: Reunion signals the end of Life Is Strange. Patrick recently had a chance to chat with actor Hannah Tell, who’s played Max since the very beginning, about what it means to bring this story to a conclusion.
