Make That Game! A Game Design Podcast

Ep. 41 - Oh My Gee!


Listen Later

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!

Claire starts us off with a shot-for-shot video game remake of a book (which is very good and you should read it - Princess Floralinda and the Forty Flight Tower by Tamsyn Muir). It's a game with forty levels and you can out-battle or out-smart your foes!

Then Isaac combines too many genres and makes an... inventory management battle royale puzzle game? Yikes, let's see how that one plays out!

Isaac asks questions about food in video games! Food in video games is weird, people! No video game agrees on what food does. Let's talk about it.

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!
