Welcome to the Online Warriors Podcast!
Founded in 2017, the Online Warriors Podcast was created as a way for its three founders to keep in touch while discussing all of their nerdy hobbies.
The passion project quickly developed into a full-blown show. Every week, we discuss the latest nerd news, go hands on with our latest adventures, and play a high-stakes quiz show. We even feature occasional interviews from industry guests!
The Online Warriors community is a welcoming and positive group where we can all embrace our nerdy side. We're glad you're here and hope we've gained your ear. Welcome to the round table!

Welcome back to another episode of the Online Warriors Podcast! This week we have a very special episode! We got to sit down with Nick Cellini to discuss Which Way Up Galaxy Games AND we dropped some movie/ TV trailers.
- Can you tell us a bit about your background? And how did you get into game development? (0:50)
- What were some early games, genres, or creators that inspired you creatively? (4:35)
- How did the concept for Which Way Up first come together? Was it a solo idea or something the team at Turtle Flip brainstormed collectively? (6:37)
- What were some of the biggest challenges in designing physics-based gameplay across multiple gravity fields? (10:23)
- How did you approach balancing fun and accessibility for both seasoned players and younger or casual gamers? (14:21)
- All of the minigames are, in part, time trial based challenges. Is this to keep pacing through the throughout the gameplay - so no mini game over stays its welcome - or do you enjoy the rush of a ticking clock? (20:58)
- Which Way Up includes 12 distinct minigames for multiplayer play. Can you talk about the development process of one specific mini-games - perhaps one that went through the most iteration? (22:50)
- If you had unlimited time and budget, what wild feature or mode would you add to Which Way Up? (29:04)
- What advice would you give to an aspiring developer with a wild idea and no clue where to start? (36:56)
- Smoke Trailer (46:57)- Good Fortune Trailer (52:47)- Frankenstein Trailer (58:42)- Gen V Season 2 (1:06:32)

Welcome back to another episode of the Online Warriors Podcast! This week we have a very special episode! The gets an inside look at the development of Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar and covers some superhero news!
Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar- Tell us a about yourself - I understand you’re an animator turned game designer, so kind of walk us through your personal journey a little bit? (0:54)
- When developing the game, did you start with the story and character animations, or did you jump right into the programming and let the game sort of build itself? (3:57)
- Do you have any personal attachment to cats or animals in general that might have influenced the creation of Mittens? (5:23)
- The game clearly suggest heavy use of quantum physics. Beyond the classic Schrodinger's cat example, did you find yourself really studying this topic to deepen your own understanding and then use that learning to create new challenges/ abilities? (6:18)
- The demo gives players a taste of what’s to come. What are you most excited about for players to experience in the full version of the game? (8:52)
- Are there any other animals in the game like rats since they are common test subjects? Does lazy Susan have abilities for example? (10:31)
- You started this project as a solo developer, but your team has grown over time. What were some pros and cons to working alone versus having a small team behind your work? (12:01)
- So, you described some moments during the development process when you had to step back and rethink a design choice or direction. How did you approach making those tough decisions? (15:20)
- *Schrödinger’s Cat Burglar* allows for both couch and remote co-op. How did you approach designing the gameplay with multiplayer in mind, and what sort of challenges did that present? (18:11)
- How did you approach designing the various puzzles in the game? What was the process of making them challenging but fair? (19:59)
- For others interested in making their own game, any words of wisdom? (21:52)
- Any last words he wants the listeners to know - when we might be able to expect a release date? (23:34)
- Ironheart (26:59)- Superman (35:31)- Spider-Noir (42:58)

About your Hosts
The hosts of the Online Warriors Podcast are actually friends in real life! (We know, right?) They've been friends for over a decade, and that carries forward in their conversational chemistry. But who are these people?
Techtic: A nerdy engineer with fungal tendencies. Man, this guy can really grow on you. Also really into dad jokes - but not a dad.
Illeagle86: A PhD student who still doesn't know what his research is about. But he likes talking about books, movies, games and stuff.
Nerdbomber: A huge nerd who obviously watched too much Full House as a kid. May still be a giant kid. Jury is still out.
