An important update from us! Thank you for listening, for sharing our show, for celebrating games with us, and for all your positivity over the years 🩷💚
“Hey friends! Last week, we released our 100th episode of Underplayed and celebrated the biggest milestone in our show’s history. We reflected back on 100 episodes with our favorite experiences and all the special indie game moments that will stay with us forever. Thank you to all of you who have listened and reached out with congratulatory messages. It means so much to us.”“At the top of the 100th episode, we also made an announcement that episode 100 would be our last episode indefinitely. Producing our show has put a strain on our free time and other duties, so we’ve decided to end Underplayed for the time being. We’re not completely closing the book on possibly producing more seasons in the future, but for now, this will be all the podcasting content you can expect from Underplayed.”“Moments like this are hard and require a lot of honesty and courage, especially around endeavors we consider to be among the most rewarding opportunities of our lives. As fun and fulfilling as Underplayed has been to create, after much discussion and thought, we both came to the conclusion that this decision will greatly benefit our wellbeing and allow us to focus more on our time management, health, and family.”“We still love indie games and we’ll keep playing them for many years to come. It’s been so rewarding to share them with you, learn about them from you, and celebrate them together. Whatever we do next, whether it’s finding time to hang around online or exploring another creative project, we hope to see you there. We love you.

- Bo_Po & DiscoCola”
