Ep. 80 - Johnny Apple-Freed

Claire and Isaac
About this episode

Hey hey hey, we're here to pitch game ideas and Isaac's pitch is: Glitch Hunters! A Spot-the-difference puzzle game.


And Claire pitches "9 Month Cruise", a game about managing *and surviving* a 9 month cruise! Hm, that sounds topical!?


And for our discussion, Isaac mopes about Twitter/X. How... how is that game design related? Guess you gotta listen to find out.


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!
