Ep. 59 - Every Mans Desires Wargaming

Claire and Isaac
About this episode

This episode we read a viewer game idea that requires an intimate knowledge of familial references, Isaac spends too much time trying to describe an idea that only he will ever under stand (it's a turn-based real-time strategy game... huh!? okay!!!), and Claire invents a game that you should NOT play if you're afraid of the dark!


This is Make That Game, the podcast where we talk about the latest and greatest new video games... that aren't ever going to get made. We pitch 'em, you make 'em (if you want, nobody's forcing you I guess). Then we break down games we've played by game design elements we liked or didn't like so much. If you're looking for a video game design focused podcast, we might have just the one for you!


And of course, as always, we have the rapid fire round, where we generate 3 random words and come up with a game idea and design incorporating them! Needless to say, it's a riot!
