The conclusion to my extra long episode with Chrisophe Boelinger. In it, we talk about the controversy surround Archipelago, Living Planet, the change of hands at Ludically, and their exciting new developments on the horizon. I am so thankful that I had this opportunity to speak with Christophe, who, while sometimes making some at-the-very-least naive decisions about the reactions to his craft, comes across as a genuine, caring person who wants to make the world a better place.

You may know Chrisophe from his hit designs like Dungeon Twister, Earth Reborn, Archipelago, or the upcoming Lost Planet; or maybe you are familiar with him as the founder and co-owner of Ludically. Either way, I don’t think you were expecting this interview, and neither was I. I anticipated about 40-60 minutes focussed on game design, some tough questions about Archihpelago (one of my favorite games), and maybe some discussion about his other pursuits like music and winter sports. While we certainly got all that, it went places. Rather than chop it down, I’ve decided to put up the whole shebang, but in two parts. Here is part 1, and part 2 will go live next week.

Mr. Cuddington is one of the hottest design entities in the industry, and many people don’t know that this singular entity (not studio) is two people - David Forest & Lina Cossette. In one of my favorite episodes to date, we talk about design, influence, Akira Toriyama, and not getting pigeonholed into doing one type of thing.
