One Life Left

Today we're joined by Friend Of The Show and SSG extraordinaire Tony Gowland [https://bsky.app/profile/tonygowland.bsky.social] of Ant Workshop [https://www.ant-workshop.com/], here to talk about Into The Restless Ruins [https://www.walesinteractive.com/intotherestlessruins] (out tomorrow!!) and the current trials and tribulations of game development. We also have Microsoft selling well on PlayStation, console price hikes, Nintendo Game-Key Card-criticism, Ste isn't impressed with the GTA6 trailer and Simon is still in pain, yet also still intoxicating! Meanwhile The Art of Video Game Design covers push notifications and the next open world Maraoke will be on Friday 13th June (lucky for some...) at Loading Bar - tickets are available HERE [https://lu.ma/wgc235n9] You'll never get a letter read out on the show if you don't write to us first so wang your correspondence to us at team@onelifeleft.com [team@onelifeleft.com] or join our Discord and drop a letter for us on there.

CONTENT WARNING - This show includes a sports massage. Not, like, as a free gift for you, though something could be arranged, maybe. Let's not completely rule that out right this minute. Anyway, no, it's a descriptive thing. One of our intrepid hosts finds himself needing of some physio so gets a sports massage. From two ladies. Both called Sophie. Look, if that sounds far fetched then don't blame me, I'm just giving you a heads up. The word "buttocks" is used. If that's the kind of thing that offends then, I dunno, start the show 10 minutes in. That's a rough guess as once this gets uploaded and ads are thrown in the mix my timings go straight out the window but 10 minutes should be safe... Beyond that, welcome to the latest episode of One Life Left! This week there's still no Super Special Keef [https://bsky.app/profile/keefstuart.bsky.social] but we have a jam packed show that includes potential Nintendo Game-Key Card shenanigans, the Post Trauma of releasing a game in the shadow of Oblivion, a footy game doing well (and it isn't PES, FIFA, EA, SWOS, Kick Off nor even Emlyn Hughes International Soccer!), Simon has a "hack" for getting cheaper Switch 2 upgrades and we ponder over an Outrun movie. We also have Ste reporting back on his recent trips to Switzerland and Reboot [https://rebootdevelopblue.com/] in Croatia, including all the gossip and The Art of Video Game Design covers delayed gratification! For some reason our mailbag is bare. Barren. Bereft of letters/emails/offers of cash. Only YOU can change this, dear listeners. Our lives and/or sanity may depend on your correspondence so PLEASE write to us at team@onelifeleft.com [team@onelifeleft.com] or join our Discord, chat amongst other OLL dignitaries and leave a letter for us on there.
