Unskippable Dialogue

An Irish gaming podcast

Author: Unskippable Dialogue

Unskippable Dialogue is an Irish gaming podcast about the games we cant stop thinking about long after the credits roll. Every week, we break down new releases, revisit cult classics, and argue (politely mostly) about what works, what doesnt, and why some games deserve a second chance.Expect honest video game reviews, development stories worth telling, and conversations that drift naturally from indie oddities to blockbuster misfires. Were big on context, allergic to hype, and not afraid to admit when nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting.If youre into gaming podcasts that value curiosity over clickbait, and you enjoy a bit of sarcasm with your save files, this is the show for you. No hot-take farming. No influencer energy. Just thoughtful chat, questionable opinions, and the occasional boss fight we absolutely overthought.Plug in. Dont skip the dialogue. Hosted on Acast.

061 - Rún Stiúideo on The Corner Café: An Irish Folklore Cyberpunk Café Sim
Episode 61
Wednesday, 17 June, 2026

On Episode 61 of Unskippable Dialogue, we welcome our first-ever guests: Eoghan Moylan and Caoimhe Gunn of Rún Stiúideo, the Galway-and Cork-based indie studio behind The Corner Café, a cosy-ish café simulator set in a cyberpunk Galway City of 2160, steeped in Irish folklore and mythology. We dig into where the idea came from, why an independent café is the perfect cyberpunk underdog, and how the Tuatha Dé Danann, Fomorians and a silver-armed Nuada end up sharing a city with hover mopeds and corporate dystopia.Eoghan talks through the move from software engineering to solo game development; the realities of building a game across every discipline yourself; community health mechanics with real consequences; financial-fraud side quests; chicken fillet rolls; and the long road to a Steam launch (with a Switch port in their sights). Expect tangents on Cyberpunk 2077, Skyrim, Baldur's Gate 3, Stardew Valley, and why you really shouldn't review-bomb the work of two people.A great listen for fans of indie gaming, Irish game development, cosy games, and anyone who loves hearing how small studios actually get made.
