Good morning, Diamond Feit here! I can say "good morning" because I'm typing this from the U.S. rather than Japan, hence it's no longer "good night." Speaking of Japan, last month in Kyoto I attended the always-thrilling BitSummit indie game festival, and this podcast serves as my report on what I saw.
But that's not all: you also get to hear from who I saw, including frequent Retronauts guests (but first-time BitSummit atttendees) Chris Kohler and Shane Bettenhausen, plus first-time Retronauts guest (but long-time BitSummit attendee) Tina Carter from 8-4!
Please note that with a huge portion of this week's audio recorded live at the venue, the audio quality varies wildly based on equipment used, ambient background noise, and possible cicada interruptions. I think it'll make for a fun listen though or I wouldn't have submitted it for your enjoyment.
