the format
A free weekly playable HTML5 game tied to that week's news cycle. The game IS the content — no persona, no voice, no host face. Subscribe by bookmarking this page.
The saturated video-game-podcast market is people talking about games. gamecast podDAd is games as the medium of weekly commentary.
the wordmark
gamecast podDAd — the consonant-swap of "podcast gamedad" (the operator is a gamedad; the content is a gamecast, not a podcast). The DA is capitalized to embed the DArnTech brand signature into the name itself.
how it's built
Built in Godot 4.6 + GDScript, exported to HTML5. Engine spine, mechanic library, and level-authoring layer all from-scratch per the project's legal-distinctness discipline; reference games are studied as patterns, never lifted as code.
Substrate cycles 1-4 done (corpus + spine + mechanic library + level authoring + palette + tscn exporter). Week-1 ships ~end of May 2026. See the source.
