Welcome to Make That Game, the video game design podcast where wild ideas bloom! In this week’s episode, we explore the theme “Flower.” Isaac pitches an eco-samurai game where petals fight blight, and Claire reimagines the enchanted rose from Beauty and the Beast as a gameplay mechanic.

In our discussion we dive into the controversial Nintendo gameplay patent making waves in the dev community.

Each episode features original game pitches, design breakdowns of games we've played, and a rapid-fire round where we invent a game using three random words.

If you're into game development, indie creativity, and design theory with a dash of chaos, you’ve found your next favorite podcast!
