Ep. 83 - Monastery Harry and His Many Bo...

Claire and Isaac
About this episode

Isaac pitches a game idea about a zombie monkey and Claire pitches a game where you can build "I Spy" games for your friends!


Claire talks about Escape Rooms and we discuss how escape room design can apply to video game designs/how they are similar!


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!
