Ep. 36 - Get Off My Lawn!

Welcome back for another weekly episode of 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! Do you think about roads? Do you like to optimize the construction of roads and the movement of resources and armies using said optimized roads? Well, Isaac has a game idea for you! Welcome to Logistician, the grand strategy game of logistics! What other word starts with L and ends with -ian? That's right, Libertarian! Claire's game is inspired by the Libertarian town of Grafton, NH. Excited? Wait 'til you hear what the actual game is! This week Isaac asks: What's your ride-or-die genre? What type of game will you ALWAYS want to play every time you see a new one? We read viewer mail today! Meghana shares her game idea and her opinion on how to continue the Pokemon series! 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!
