Today's guest is Pert Soomann of Vikerlane Games for his 2021 release Headbangers In Holiday Hell. This is a special christmas day release because Headbangers in Holiday is hilarious and holiday themed. HIHH is a twin stick shooter with roguelite elements. You can play it on Steam and there are plans to port it to consoles in the future. I absolutely love this game. I became aware of it through my interview with Emiliano Pastorelli of Hammer & Ravens and I've been addicted ever since.
In this episode we will discuss subverting expectations, controller vs. mouse and keyboard, improving a game that has already been released, marketing and releasing a game with a seasonal theme, porting to consoles, the decisions that lead to procedurally generated levels, play testing your game in a pub, and much more.
