BONUS - Interview with the developers of Quartet (indie RPG) except this time, it's out!

Author: Third Impact Anime Podcast April 8, 2026 Duration: 1:19:19
Back in 2023, we had the pleasure of hosting the developers of the indie RPG Quartet on the show for a bonus interview. Well now, the game is out, and they're back! Ryan chats once again with the folks from Something Classic games to talk about the game, their roles in creating it, the fan response, DLC plans, magic sausages, and more!  A sincere thank you to Peter, Patrick, and Tyler for coming on the show once again. All music comes from the Quartet soundtrack. You can purchase Quartet on Steam right now, and be on the look out for the forth-coming PlayStation and Switch ports.  About Quartet: A series of unlikely train robberies. A mysterious deck of cards. A fleet of deadly airships. An accidental mage. Choose from four stories, in any order, and discover how they intertwine in this turn-based RPG.

Every other week, the conversation starts around a microphone with a group of longtime friends who have spent years hosting panels at anime conventions. Third Impact Anime Podcast is built from those late-night hotel lobby debates and packed conference room discussions, channeling that energy into a deep dive into the medium we love. This isn't just a review show; it's an exploration of the threads that connect classic series to today's trending hits, always with an eye on the artistic choices and cultural history that shape them. You'll hear us unpack new releases and revisit forgotten gems, share stories from the convention floor, and occasionally sit down with special guests from across the anime community. The result is a podcast that feels like hanging out with the most knowledgeable fans you know-the ones who can't help but talk a little too much about the details that make anime so compelling. Join us for a bi-weekly look at the artistry and passion that fuels this global phenomenon.
