In today’s episode, we’re joined by Simon Phipps, an artist and designer who has worked on some of the most influential games of our generation and many of our favourite games here at Retro Dodo. From Masters of the Universe to Shadow Man, the Harry Potter video games, Need For Speed, and GoldenEye 007 on the Wii, Simon has had an amazing career right from being a teenager and has lots of incredible and insightful stories about his time in the gaming industry. So much so, in fact, that this is the first two-part episode we’ve done on the podcast!

Today we’re talking about all things game boy game creation and diving into the world of Dragonyhm with Spacebot Interactive. We sat down with Chris and Bumbiss from the Spacebot team to talk about creating a Tolkien-esque world inside an 8-bit game, why Dragonyhm has become such a huge success in the handheld gaming world, and what the future of game boy game creation looks like, as well as getting some exclusives about Dragonyhm and what could be coming next.
