Make That Game! A Game Design Podcast

1 week ago

Come hear pitches for the latest, greatest new video games, that will never be made! Listen as Isaac and Claire share their own vide game ideas (that of course, they will never make), discuss games that they love (and maybe don't), and rapid-fire come up with ideas live on tape! Start anywhere (we recommend after episode 60 or so for the best listening experience). Not only do we design games but we also break down popular games and the designs behind them. Sometimes we ask the big game design questions, like tackling replay-ability, difficulty and other things!

137: Jellicles: The Heaviside Layer

This week's game idea pitch theme is: "Ball"! Claire gives us an idea for a rogue-lite long-term multi-masquerade mystery mission! Isaac pitches what might be the best idea he'll ever have: Footfootballball! What is that? You'll just have to listen to find out! Then Isaac and Claire discuss: EDUTAINMENT games! Did Oregon Trail have important lessons to teach? Can cartoon kids teach you chemistry? Find out!

This is Make That Game, the podcast where we talk about the latest and greatest new video games... that aren't ever going to get made. We pitch 'em, you make 'em (if you want, nobody's forcing you I guess). Then we break down games we've played by game design elements we liked or didn't like so much. To close out the show we have the rapid fire round, where we generate 3 random words and come up with a game idea and design incorporating them! Needless to say, it's a riot!

If you're looking for a video game design focused podcast, we might have just the one for you!
