138: Learn 'em Up Kids: Behind the Lens

This week's game idea pitch theme is: "Telephone"! Claire imagines a game where you investigate the mysteries of a haunted telephone museum and Isaac rips off War of the Worlds (2025). The movie! With Ice Cube! Then Claire talks about the most recent game she finished, Nancy Drew, Midnight in Salem! How does it stack up to the Curse of Blackmoor Manor?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!02:34 Claire pitches Haunted Telephone Museum 09:03 Isaac pitches his War of the Worlds spinoff19:18 Claire discusses Nancy Drew, Midnight in Salem40:40 Rapid fire round!
