This is a Dark Matter Zine podcast and I’m your host Nalini Haynes. DMZ welcomes game creator Jacob Janerka to talk about his PAX Showcase winning game, Dungeon Experience. This interview is in podcast and video formats so you can see the Trailer and the Very Handsome Mud Crab with No Traces Of Asbestos.
Dark Matter Zine Acknowledges this recording is taking place on the unceded Country of the Bunurong Peoples’ of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners and Custodians of this Country. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
Pax Australia’s media release describes this game:
The Dungeon Experience Game by Bone Assembly sees a hilarious (and handsome and symmetrical), mud-crab turned entrepreneur play the role of Dungeon Master in this first-person quest. Players are taken on a guided tour by their crabby Dungeon Master, where they get to meet the various dungeon inhabitants. Weird and hilarious, this game will have players gripped by the game and by the giggles.
Find the Dungeon Experience
Dungeon Experience has its own website and will be available soon!
My thoughts for talking points having researched Jacob and The Dungeon Experience
- Your website has you located in Texas. Why Texas? Floods, fires, NRA and KKK types might not like the Mud Crab
- Floppy guns and phone crabs: you have a signature style. What inspired you to develop along these lines?
- Your blurb and your trailer focus on comedic elements. Why choose comedy?
- Microsoft is busy acquiring Activision Blizzard for $69billion with the stated intent of putting Sony out of business. How important is it to have indie games in times like these?
- What are your favorite games in any medium to play?
Thanks
Thank you to today’s guest Jacob Janerka, Dungeon Experience creator! Watch this space because more authors and game creators will be guests on Dark Matter Zine’s podcast over the next few months.

Acknowledgement of Country
Dark Matter Zine Acknowledges this recording is taking place on the unceded Country of the Bunurong Peoples’ of the Kulin Nation as Traditional Owners and Custodians of this Country. I pay my respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
(I have occasionally acknowledged Country in podcasts. This year I aim to lift my game in many areas, so I plan to Acknowledge Country in every podcast. An Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners can be done by anyone. It’s a way of showing awareness of, and respect for, the Aboriginal Traditional Owners of the land where a meeting or event is held. For more information about Country and respect for Australia’s First Nations, read this post that also has links to useful websites.)
