LCC Games Design

We've been far too busy doing interesting and constructive things, so this overdue podcast will have to suffice. We talk about emotional games, crunch (not the chocolate bar, unfortunately) and whether we've all achieved our summer goals. Omar tells us about Shogun 2, Peter talks Guild Wars 2 and Sam has technical difficulties. Enjoy!

First thing's first: come to our End of Year Show! Check out our post about it here! Shan and Omar join Sam to talk about Peter Molyneux's 22Cans, financial morality and ultraviolence in games, scary! But it's not all heavy stuff as we give a shout out to all the gaming dads for Father's Day, talk about Tropico 4 and recommend Botanicula.

E3 is upon us, so we talk about that for far too long. We also recommend a few games we played at the Indie Games Expo, including hand-sketched puzzler The Bridge and one-button addictiveness Swift*Switch. We also tell you about our end of year show, at which you'll be able to play all of our delightful games we've discussed on the show and many more! Check out our post about it here.

We have officially finished this year of university, so now we talk about our plans for making games in the summer and beyond.

After a week of silence we're back in full force to bring you all the games insight you'll ever need. We look back at Andy Lemon's audio talk, we look forward to finishing our games and we gaze adoringly at Max Payne 3. We also talk about Sony's troubles and Activision's activities.

Peter rejoins the line-up this week to talk about a whole bunch of things, from sound to depression. We talk about game exhibitions, how John Cleese thinks we can be productive, another new adventure game and a MMORPG that treats depression. Omar also has his weekly Trials gush, which is simply unmissable. Remember to subscribe in iTunes and please leave a comment or e-mail us letting us know what you think. Download the MP3 directly.

We are very lucky to have an interview with Col Rodgers on this week's show! Col is Chief Game Designer at Codemasters and is also working on an awesome car-wrecking game for iOS called Carnage. We chat about our new buddy Frazer Nash and talk about the latest game announcement to (not) shake the world: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Don't miss this one!

For a very special number 10, we've got a very special episode. It might not sound special, but it is! We spill the beans about the games we're working on this term, we discuss the visit from Codemasters and we become more nerdy than you could ever imagine when we talk about our New Star Soccer stats.
