Line Them Up! A Paper Mario: The Origami King Concert is a colossal VGM collaboration featuring… well, just about everyone. We’re joined by Daniel Romberger, Thomas Kresge, Ro Panuganti, Doug Perry, Eileen Snyder, Ben Wallace, Nabeel Ansari, Laura Intravia, and Sam Bobinski— some of the key collaborators who made it happen, but just a fraction of the many fine folks who contributed. Together they tell the whole story, from a stray idea for a little Paper Mario arrangement all the way to a 40-minute concert with live players, elaborate animation, and special guests. So what are you waiting for? Elbow your way through the toads and join the enraptured audience for a performance you’re unlikely to forget!

It's not every day that composers from the VGM world start developing their own games. Andrew Aversa (known to the OCRemix world as Zircon) embarked on that journey years ago and released his first game, Tangledeep. Andrew Luers (otherwise known as OA) decided to join the party and start work on his own game, Flowstone Saga. They both join us this week to talk about their projects, how Impact Gameworks came to be, and the many fascinating aspects of game development.
