Description

Chris, a podcast listener and fellow game designer, reached out wondering why there hadn’t been any new episodes lately. He generously offered to take on the role of interviewer for this episode, giving listeners an exclusive behind the scenes look at what’s been happening at Nerdlab Games over the past two years. We are talking about Game Design processes and our tasks and role as a small publishing company. I am incredibly grateful to Chris for the idea and for bringing this episode to life.
