Jammers podcast is dedicated to game design ideation. Each episode we draw a theme from those provided by listeners and design a unique game around it. The games we design are scoped to be built in a week or weekend, and in true game jam fashion, we've likely over scoped our creations. To submit a theme of your own, visit: https://JammersPodcast.com Have comments or questions? Send them to: info@jammerspodcast.com Coming soon: concept art for our game ideas. Jammers Podcast is a creation of LLimb Games.

Ep. 12 - What's Old is New with Vimlark

This week I'm joined by Nick, known in the game dev community as Vimlark. Vimlark is a game jam veteran who participates in sever game jams every year. In 2020, Vim managed to place in the top 20 submissions during the Game Makers Toolkit Jam with his game, Make the Way . In this episode, we discuss the importance of creating a good user experience in games. We chat about one really appreciated UX element, and one that is often left out but highly sought after. Following our discussion we design a game around the theme, "What's Old is New".
