The Theropods team, called Lost Token, is joining us from all across the world to discuss their scintillating new point and click adventure. As listeners know, I have a soft spot for the genre, especially modern takes happening here in 2026. Theropods fits that bill and absolutely smashes any expectations I could have had coming in. A wordless point-and-click adventure through a prehistoric world with a sci-fi twist that is painstakingly hand drawn in gorgeous pixel art, Theropods takes players through all they could want out of a straight-down-the middle adventure story before veering into the weird. I loved my time with it. The creators are Kostas Skiftas, an animator by trade who was born and raised in Athens, Greece. In university in the UK, Kostas developed a portfolio of silent animated films and then went on to work as a commercial director in movies and TV. He’s also written and directed his own feature. Sarah Duffield-Harding met Kostas at University in Farnham, U.K., where they both studied animation. She’s an artist with a stop-motion animation background who later became interested in pixel art. Though not a programmer by trade, Sarah learned some basic programming on the job in order to make Theropods. Matt Frith eventually joined the team to help with the programming on top of making beautiful background art. Although Matt’s not joining us today, I love giving his work a shoutout.\nGo play Theropods! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1091870/Theropods/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6ymojzqyD00O6uaMm0iKA54tmQiqJqEi3o2Imn1CODQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNWNi/MjdlODczMTQ2MDQ3/OGQ3ZDFjNWNlMTc2/M2E2Ny5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
