Now this is awesome. Kudos on the sweet Halloween costume. We love it!

They sound a bit skeptical, but we’re sure once Chris, Jinny and Ross at the Weekly Geek Podcast get their hands on Mushroom Men, they’ll enjoy it. They talk about Mushroom Men (focusing on the metronome and music) at about the 22 minute mark.

DS Fanboy posted their final glimpse at the weapons that can be built in Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi.

The fifth Mushroom Men Developer Diary for Videogamer.com features Gl33k’s front-man Matt Piersall, describing all the nitty gritty details of the unique audioscape for the game.

IGN ran the article, as well.

As you can see in the comments below this article on WiiFanboy, I discuss the use of minigames in Mushroom Men’s Gallery level as a little playscape to provide activity while listening to the Les Claypool tracks on the jukebox.

The final True Game Headz interview with James Clarendon features one of the later levels in the game.

Trish took top honors at Destructoid’s diorama contest. Congrats to all who participated. Your work was fantastic!

Mushroom Men on… NPR?

October 28, 2008

I seriously never expected to paste the NPR logo into one of these blog entries, but a feature about independent gaming ran on All Things Considered, so here we are.
MTV focuses on the expansive underlying musical influence of Les Claypool and the game’s 120 bpm soundtrack that infuses the entire gameplay experience of Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars.

Today’s post on True Game Headz steps away from showing gameplay footage and instead delves into designer James Clarendon’s head to get a sense for where all this wackiness came from.
