In the first podcast we discuss static and dynamic gameplay mechanics and how the grid-based gameplay makes the game very clean. In the second podcast we zoom out from the minute-to-minute gameplay and observe the flow between the game&#8217;s chapters.\u00a0I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion and I&#8217;m sure you will too.\u00a0The photo diaries are a bit rough, but I think they&#8217;re worth sharing as well.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time that I&#8217;ve podcasted with the VG Commune. We&#8217;ve previously discussed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vgthought.com\/commune\/podcast\/56\">Super Mario Land 2 levels<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vgthought.com\/commune\/podcast\/36\">optional challenges in Wave Race 64<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vgthought.com\/commune\/podcast\/33\">the nature of two-dimensional space in The Firemen<\/a>. Greg, aka Golem, has also been putting together <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e1gtFMawL84&amp;list=PL5qWfMjtqgJQhzQ5FhScOTrKac01-hql2\">videos out of some of our Super Mario Land 2 level discussions<\/a>, so I&#8217;d urge you to check them out and follow him for more videos in the series. Although the DP blog is relatively quiet at the moment, I have been working away in the background\u00a0over the past few months, so as always stay tuned. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few months ago I played through Startropics with my friends over at the VG Commune.\u00a0We recorded a couple of podcasts together and I also wrote up a rough photo diary of the two Startropics games.
