Welcome back for another weekly episode of 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!

Isaac pitches a game idea that leans into the spooky season with a classic platformer where you start as a ghost and collect bones to become a skeleton!

Claire hits us with an AR (Augmented Reality) about hunting real-life sweets to get in-game benefits. It is, perhaps, the perfect game!?

Claire invents a new segment and asks a question, which you'll just have to watch to find out what it is. Comment your answers below!

And of course, we close off with a rapid-fire round. We start strong with a way to combine mini-wargaming and dating in a video game, then Isaac and Claire devise a broccoli farm in our second game, and our third and final game leaves Isaac stunned and confused as apparently, he forgets how video games work and CANNOT COMPREHEND the gameplay AT ALL! Come on, Isaac, you're better than this!
