Claire and Isaac
About this episode

Claire pitches an idea about solving puzzles with reflected light (AND we learn she doesn't know what 3D means!) and Isaac pitches an idea about Santa Claus clobbering evil cretins with his sack! Then we discuss... why games might get released uh, too early!


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!
