Description

This week's game idea pitch theme is: "Lizard Wizard"! If that seems extremely limited in scope to you, that's why Isaac isn't allowed to pick themes any more! Claire pitches an idea about Ratatouille-ing a knight with magic and Isaac pitches a "collect em' all" about magical spells! Then we discuss narrative in open world games!

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!
