Official Atari Games Podcast

One of the most competitive sides of the games industry is music composition. There are so many talented musicians and not enough games for them all, so it says a lot about the select few who can make a full-time career out of it. Fat Bard is one of those examples, and being hot off the heels of composing the Bubsy 4D OST, there was no better time to have them on to discuss their journey and the wide range of titles they've contributed to. The duo, Patrick Crecelius and Zach Fendelman, have been collaborating for about 15 years now, and we cover quite a lot, including some real-time revelations and work on a previous Atari project.

Bubsy 4D is finally here. Not only is it an important release for us at Atari, but it marks the SECOND important release for developer Fabraz in the span of about three months. This would be a feat for a large studio, so it's even more impressive that it was accomplished by a team of less than ten full-time developers. How did they do it? How did they get here? I wanted to dive deep into all of it, so I invited Ben Miller and Fabian Rastorfer, co-founders of Fabraz, to join me to talk all about themselves and the journey that led to this moment.

You've heard a lot about Bubsy 4D since it was announced back at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2026, but have you asked yourself, "how?" Or "why?" Or "who?" If you had any of these questions, then this episode is specifically for you! I've gathered some key folks involved in getting the word out, including Sam Robertell (Social Media and Influencer Manager), Shah-Rukh Faridi (Asset Manager), and Fabian Rastorfer (Head of Marketing at Fabraz). We walk through all levers pulled to get the word out, including trailers, social media, BubsyPaws, and, of course, the fur suit, all in the spirit of celebrating the release of Bubsy 4D!

September 4, 2025 marked the launch of the beautiful pixel art metroidvania, Adventure of Samsara. On that same day, one other highly anticipated title came out that averted the gaze of many fans of the genre.

Joining me to go through all the details are Mark Perloff (Producer), along with developer Ilex's Marcelo Rigon (Creative Director) and Guilherme Gaspar (Art Director).

Everyone knows about Half-Life; it revolutionized first-person shooters and dominated the gaming landscape upon release. One of the many victims of this unfortunate release timing, SiN, is finally making its rightful comeback. While it garnered respectable reviews from critics, it never quite reached the commercial success that it was arguably due. Fast forward nearly 30 years, and SiN is about to make a triumphant return to PC and, for the first time, consoles, courtesy of Nightdive Studios and their remastering expertise in the form of SiN Reloaded. Joining me to talk about what to expect and the journey through development are Grover Wimberly IV (Project Manager/Producer) and Jonathan Barkley, AKA Paril (Lead Programmer and Project Lead.
