Ep. 95 - A Mile in My Shoes

Claire and Isaac
About this episode

Claire pitches an light-bending idea, and Isaac's game idea is about exploring space and terraforming planets - do you think he's been playing No Man's Sky a lot again?? We talk about the games we uninstalled from our Switch and why we uninstalled them!


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!
