Indies & Tea Leaves

Join Abbi and Nicole for a dive into the colourful, wonderful world of Alba: A Wildlife Adventure from Ustwo and Plug In Digital! This month we're chatting about the game's perfect messaging about environmentalism, the time Nicole thought she was going to get attacked by a squirrel, and why Abbi probably shouldn't look after Nicole's future children.  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles, who is not on Twitter because he's a healthy, well adjusted human being.

Join us this month (without any tea, it's too hot folks) to find out about the excellent time Abbi and Nicole had with Silt, the underwater puzzle game from Spiral Circus! You'll hear all about Nicole getting freaked out, why it was one of their favourite art styles so far, and why maybe for the first time on the podcast, Nicole's going to struggle to get the platinum...  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles, who is not on Twitter because he's a healthy, well adjusted human being.

Join Abbi & Nicole with a brew, for this months chat about the incredibly wonderful game Unpacking from Witch Beam! Nicole holds the entire episode together while Abbi rambles nonsensically about why this game is so personal to her, there's some unintentional punning and a good moan about THAT boyfriend in THAT level of the game.  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles, who is not on Twitter because he's a healthy, well adjusted human being.   

*Abbi would like to issue an apology for her audio quality in this ep, somehow she messed it up and she's not entirely sure how, but it will be sorted by the next episode!*  This week join Nicole and Abbi whilst they chat about Hoa from Skrollcat Studio! As well as tasting some tea that neither of them though they'd like, Nicole learns something new about Abbi, Abbi very unsubtly squeezes in some talk about The Quarry, and Nicole adds another platinum to her ever growing list.  Thanks again to Jess for her tea suggestion, you can find her and her awesome pins @AlchemistPins on twitter.  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles.

Welcome to Indies & Tea Leaves, in this introductory episode Nicole and Abbi have a chat about what the podcast is about, how the episodes will be structured, what kind of tea they like, and their top five indie games each!  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles. 

In the first proper episode Abbi & Nicole talk all things Stardew Valley! Who they romance, their favourite weird things about it, and the moral crisis of wanting to get the platinum but not wanting to give money to Joja Mart are all covered, along some with lukewarm (but surprisingly frequent) takes on their favourite local supermarkets.  You can follow the podcast on Twitter @indiestealeaves You can follow Nicole on Twitter @gamerssdelight And you can follow Abbi on Twitter @abbiruggles Music by Ben Ruggles.
