Hiddennode Main Feed

This is the main feed for the hiddennode podcast, a series that goes back to 2012. It’s the audio-rambles of a distracted writer. Topics and opinions are my own, and all the lovely nonsense comes as it comes.

If you’re looking for a specific series, they’re over here.

  • A Metroidvania Where Enemies Are Font Families

    A Metroidvania Where Enemies Are Font Families

    We’ve got topics! The episode’s synopsis:

    For art, I worked for a friend. Quite happy with how it turned out. Afterwards, we discussed Power Armor, did a mini review of Ghost Song, praised the heck out of it’s OST, and then explained how it’s influencing out next work.

    Finally, we talked about watching some of Linus Boman’s YouTube videos and the joy of them. Mentioned in that section include Abstract: The Art of Design and Vox’s “Why This Font is Everywhere” series on Cooper Black. Great stuff for casual interest in Font’s and their history.
