124: Learn 'em Up Kids: Math-a-Magic

from Make That Game! A Game Design Podcast · host Claire and Isaac Caldwell

This week's game idea pitch theme is: "Cave"! Isaac goes first with his idea of an RTS set in giant ant caves. It's very important that you understand this isn't just an RTS where you play *as* ants. No, you just live in their caves. And then Claire pitches a fixed-camera horror game where you explore a mysterious cave! Then Isaac talks about the game he HAS been making which is an RNG-less turn-based RPG!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!00:48 Isaac pitches a giant Ant RTS12:30 Claire pitches Cave In18:16 Claire asks Isaac about his non-randomizer game!40:09 Rapid Fire Round!
