Rami Ismail wants everyone to be able to make games. “Literally anybody anywhere” should be able to work in this medium that has the potential to transcend not only cultural and national boundaries, but language. The work of including everyone is, of course, not trivial—but Rami is attempting to do the work, and the collaborative, yearlong game-a-day project Meditations serves as one particularly ambitious example of how.
We talk about Rami’s current work, as well as his time making Super Crate Box, Ridiculous Fishing, Nuclear Throne, and LUFTRAUSERS. Plus I get to tell him my weird-ass Ridiculous Fishing story, and we get to discuss the value of traveling. (I travel a fair bit, but Rami makes me—and just about anybody, really—look like a wanderlust dilettante).
• Here’s Rami on the difference between diversity and inclusion, and the issues with the English language that the former fails to address.
• Here are links to TEMPRES and VESPER.5.
• And here’s a link to Lose/Lose—which, FAIR WARNING, will seriously actually delete files on your computer at mostly-random, for real.
We’re on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCasts, Overcast, Breaker, and RadioPublic. You can also subscribe using good old-fashioned RSS.
