Ep. 52 - Totally Tubular!

Claire checks the vibe with a gamified date app - NOT a dating app. Can you become the master of date ideas?

Isaac spends a lot of time dancing around the fact and trying to avoid the fact that his monster taming game idea revolves around eugenics. Wow, how uncomfortable!

Claire, inspired by Jason Schreier's book Blood, Sweat, and Pixels, starts a discussion on the game industry. Why does it seem like people don't have a lot of fun in the game industry? Shouldn't it be... the most fun!?

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!


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!
