Joined by guests Mark Yohalem and James Spanos of Wormwood Studios (makers of Primordia and Strangeland), we take a deep look at game development tools and engines in this episode. Adventure Game Studio is a tremendous (and free!) tool to make adventure games. But, as Mark and James discovered when making Primordia and Strangeland, it does have both its perks and drawbacks. Mark takes us through his experiences and James pops in at the end to add some additional context.
