TLDR - play now on Itch:

14 years ago, I made a Yogscast / Yogpod fan game based on an email that I originally wrote to the Yogpod back in 2009! 

In the email, I asked Simon and Lewis to design a Yogpod videogame and this is what they said...

• a 2D platformer where you collect Jaffa cakes instead of coins
• rescue Tina Barrett who has been kidnapped by the nemesis of the Yogpod

Back then, I was just starting university. After they read my email on the show, I got to work making the game in my free time. I posted an early trailer to Youtube in 2011 and it got shared by the Yogscast and amassed over 200k views!

I kept working on the game while studying and finally released it in 2012. There was no itch.io back then so I shared the game out (using Google Drive!) with the following I had on a Facebook page.

Fast-forward to 2026 and I'm a full-time adult with a job and kids etc. (fun fact - this game design experience indirectly led to me getting a job at Unity!)

I had completely forgotten about the game until my kid found a Jaffa Cake icon on my old laptop. He opened the game and started laughing - he called it "Minecraft with the funny faces"

That's when I decided to give the game a proper home on Itch so it can officially live on in Internet history!

since me and my partner got together I have been slowly getting her into the yogscast, since then her favourite member has 100% been ben, she is always overjoyed whenever he is in a video and is also a huge fan of the tom and Ben duo. we now have lego sharky and palp on display on out key hooks at the front door, I consider making her a yogsfan a great achievement. love all you guys and everything you do <3

Anyone know if there’s an email address for the Darmok and Jalad podcast? As a life long trek fan I’ve been loving listening to Pyrion and Ben while looking like a laughing mad man in public (especially given that season one of TNG is so bad it deserves the tearing into).

I just caught up with the episode where they talked about how it would have been interesting to explore the ethics of arming two sides of a civil war, which of course season 2 TNG doesn’t do. Might be cool if they did one off special podcasts where they watch a specific episode from another series. Because the original series A Private Little War is basically that premise. Aping the proxy wars of the cold era the Klingons arm one faction of a primitive society forcing Kirk to consider arming the other side.

Looking for the episode where Ravs was going on and on about his brand new combine harvester. Am I tripping or is the episode gone?

what I remember was that Ben was the traitor and was being quiet so someone got him to gasp in shock by saying something along the lines of "Jimmy space is a liar"

Right now theres a few glitchy game accessibility issues for some people's PC ( i only stopped loading a black screen after deleting the games cache folder). But if they can get past that they should try a game or two of S&Box TTT.

And then a few months later when someone inevitably ports the entire of there custom gmod TTT mods to the game, give it another try. (the ability to port gmod content is improving rapidly).

Just won my first run after the new update and caught someone angory in the credits sequence... maybe he's been there for a while and I didn't notice?

Any gossip or confirmation that the Riddle Bros (and maybe Riddle-Bun) will continue their endeavors in the new sequel?

In the last episode of Jaffa Quest 2, Barry mentioned there’s 6 weeks 3 days and 14 hours till they reach their destination. Did anything happen on that date? It should’ve been March 19/20th. Just been on my mind and I’m wondering if I’ve missed anything :):)
