Ep. 40 - Pokemon Go To Bed

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! Isaac's back, booo! That guy should stick to tabletop wargaming and leave the game design to the professionals. His game idea today is about snoring? Battle snoring?? What the heck! Claire Pokémon Goes to the idea barn and gets an egg from the game design chicken and gives us what might be the perfect AR game. It's your actual pets, and it's Pokémon, and your pets don't even know they're playing, and it's adorable, and it's all HAPPENING! Quite an omelette of a game! Speaking of Pokémon, Claire Asks A Question this week, and that question is: Why exactly the heck IS there two Pokémon at a time? What's the design there? Is it deeper than corporate greed? Listen up and find out! And in this week's rapid fire round, our randomly generated words... made us remake a game from a previous rapid fire round!? That's a first ever! Witness HISTORYYY!
