Make That Game! A Game Design Podcast Claire and Isaac

Claire's game racers humanoid trains... with RHYTHM! Isaac's game is about holding limes, and also racing, coincidentally. Then we talk about the Fallout TV Show. Not much game design chatter there, but it's a fun show!

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

And of course, as always, 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!

Isaac gets super excited about a dragon-taming simulation game that he forgot to design flying mechanics for! Claire's game idea is a game you can play forever! And ever... and ever... Then we talk about The Pokemon Problem! What happens when your one character/attack/whatever is TOO POWERFUL and you just do the same boring thing over and over!? What kind of design leads to this, what can you do to steer away from it?

This week Claire pitches a visual novel city builder roguelite where you play across generations with each choice impacting the future for generations! Isaac's idea is "edgy Kirby". That's it. That's the game. It's Kirby and edgy. Isaac asks Claire: "Well, what WOULD you read, in a game, if not instructions!?" and she answers!

Claire wants to play games that follow a growing career, so she pitches an idea for being a pyschic medium on tour! Isaac's pitch is a Fire Department management sim game! We discuss how games inform the player of what's going on and what the player should be doing. The user experience! That's the term we never use in our discussion! Look at us.
