Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games

We began life as The Spelunky Showlike in September 2018, in the excitement around the announcement of Spelunky 2, the sequel to one of our favorite and most influential games ever.
For 50 episodes, we interviewed an array of amazing developers about their process and design decisions, often explored through the lens of Spelunky and other "roguelite" games.
Some of our favorite episodes include our discussions with Justin Ma (Into the Breach), Glenn Wichman (co-creator of Rogue!), and Terry Cavanagh (Dicey Dungeons); we even did a five-episode miniseries deep dive on Noita.
On the eve of Spelunky 2's release, we've decided to rebrand our show, to better represent the broader discussions - and guests - that we've gravitated toward over time (while keeping a shoutout to Spelunky, of course). Almost two years later, we move forward as Eggplant: The Secret Lives of Games.
