New year! New Game! Quarantine Zone has spread across the world, and to celebrate its viral success Igor Korpak and Evgeniy Guliya of Brigada Games infect this episode of the ForkCast to tell all about how this zombie checkpoint simulator metastasized across the internet.

Alleged PC Release Manager and notorious indie-fanatic Amulya Datla educates JM and Jared on some of the more important business aspects of how to get people to notice games. In a marketplace bursting with exciting new titles to play, discounts and bundles can make the difference between success and anonymity.

Devolver Digital Engineer and holiday hero, Santa, takes a break from his constant coding to talk about developing Twitch Extensions for games. How do they work? What do they do? And how do you make them a part of your game?

Videogames are for everyone! And that includes family! Holiday get-togethers, online connections, or over-the-shoulder puzzle-solving, there are so many ways to play games with our loved ones, so Jared and JM are here to list a few games that they love playing with their family members, as well as many game choices from the Devolver family at large.

BallxPit is out now on every platform, and to celebrate, the game's music composer Amos Roddy has popped in to deep dive on his journey making game soundtracks over the past twelve years, including a few deep cuts and the world's most popular game, as well as giving a glimpse into how he composes his work.

Communications and community are both so important, which is why Harris Foster of both Devolver Digital and Big Fan Games is committed to creating the most welcoming of environments for those who want to share their joyful experiences of their favorite games. Also he's on this episode of the podcast!

After half a decade of development, BABY STEPS has emerged from the basement and begun its journey out into the world. Co-developer Gabe Cuzzillo saunters onto the podcast and does his best to explain this peculiar and strangely poignant walking simulator.

Meant as a small episode, recorded before PAX West, delayed in the editing, and now put into the wrong place in the episode list, please enjoy this small selection of JM and Jared rambling about nothing, and also expressing their gratitude for listeners who have shared their enjoyment of the show.
