Blue Cup Tools Podcast

Beta tester feedback: when to listen and when to stick to your guns. Ben's internet is terrible. We should have beta tested this podcast.

Diversity in games, or at least in GTA. Do designers of old really need to be coming back on Kickstarter? Voice acting in games.

We're joined by special guest Petter Ljunqvist aka Andail to discuss The Samaritan Paradox, game design, puzzles, backgrounds, and most importantly, the gritty reboot of Leisure Suit Larry.

A discussion on backgrounds. We've learned a lot since the last time we talked about them, so we share this wealth of knowledge with you, the listener.

A brief discussion on adventure game design philosophy, including some heavy ranting, then on to the main subject: Music! Working with musicians, creating your own, using AGS in conjunction with it. Also, Grundislav sings a lot.

After a two week hiatus, we return to where it all began and discuss animation! Also, please stay until the very end.

Fresh off the plane home, Grundislav talks all about his GDC experience while fighting off exhaustion.

Cutting stuff from your game and when to know how to do it. We also learn more disturbing facts about our hosts!

The importance of a clean work environment, as well as changing up your surroundings and its effect on your productivity.

After a two week hiatus due to surprise social lives, we return with special guest Vince XII in tow to discuss non-linearity and episodic games. Also, be good kids, or you'll have to do community service!
