14: In Defense of Simplicity

Thursday Jan 23, 2025

Thursday Jan 23, 2025

Astra Yao is here and she highlights a key element to what makes the design of ZZZ so interesting: simplicity.
 
Brian's not able to record this week, so it's a solo day for Eric. Apologies for the short episode, we should be back to our usual nonsense by next recording.

* SPOILER WARNINGS AHOY*
The first arc of ZZZ has finished, Miyabi’s power has been unleashed, and the SSU podcast is ready to dig into everything* we know so far. Join Eric and Brian as they set out to do a lore recap episode and instead end up hypothesizing wildly on the most tenuous of details.
* and by "everything," we mean what we can hastily chain to other ideas using push pins and red thread

1.4 is finally here and with it comes our new Miyabae. Eric and Brian discuss (okay... fawn) over our new cryo queen, break down some of the new end game systems, and reflect on how the team working on ZZZ continue to change and grow their game without losing their core inspiration.

11: Ad Astra, SSU!

Thursday Dec 12, 2024

Thursday Dec 12, 2024

1.4 is on the horizon and we need to talk about it. Eric and Brian discuss all the changes coming in ZZZ's soft-relaunch patch. New events, new characters, new areas, new endgame... everything's new except for our love of the game, which continues to grow.
 
Also, Eric apologizes for (still) being sick. He blames his kid. It's probably not his kid's fault, but since the child can't defend themselves... it's the kid's fault.
