To celebrate a year of COIN Collectors episodes, we interview Jason Carr, the director of game development at GMT games. We discuss Jason’s background, what makes a COIN game a COIN game, the future of COIN and Irregular conflict series, and many other topics. This interview was a ton of fun, and we hope that you enjoy the discussion as much as we did.
