Ep. 42 - Pumpkin Pie Production Line

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! We're getting ready for AGDQ, which by the time you see this episode will already be happening! As soon as you're done listening to us, tune in to Games Done Quick! Support the Prevent Cancer Foundation! Do it do it doitdoitdoitdoit!!! Anyways! For the normal fare: Claire tells us her idea about a game where a pretty princess runs cat cafes. Kingdoms and kingdoms of cat cafes. Can you cat cafe them all!? Isaac tells us about Duckponder. It's not a philosophical game where you ponder deep thoughts at a pond, no. That's too high brow for Isaac. Instead, he somehow devised a game with THAT name but it's just like, an arena shooter defense game. Think Vampire Survivors with ducks you have to feed. Finally, Claire asks - why do some games do Meep Meep Meeps, and some games have voice acting? What's up with that? Isaac does his best to answer that heavy one. P.S. as you read this it's going dididididididididi. 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!
