Have you heard that expression “back and better than ever”? Well, that’s what we are. Marcel is back from Japan and I have finished my first semester of graduate school. We sound way more professional, except my audio in the first 3/5ths of the episode because something crashed. And as a matter of fact, the person who mixed the episode is also the person who we interviewed. And that person would be Fubaka, creator of mysterious epics like The Column and Cosmic Meltdown. He’s also a talented musician who is making ambient music under the new name The Cupbearer. Please enjoy our professional return to podcasting!
Special thanks to Lit Knob for some audio advice
Download Fubaka levels here except for Cosmic Meltdown, which is here
Also, get Fubaka’s ambient music at the links below. It’s pay-what-you-want and Creative Commons so you can use it in your levels! It’s also really, really good.

Episode music tracklist
Fubaka incorporated background music throughout the episode. Much of it is music that appears in his levels that we discuss; some of that music is by him and some is by others. The rest is from his extensive back catalogue.
