116: Monster Baby Garden Party

Season 3 · Episode 116

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 • Duration 01:02:10

This week's ~USER SUBMITTED~ game theme is Armor! Isaac's game is about roaming a post-apocalyptic equipping a rusting tank with state of the art... cardboard armor!? And Clair pitches an idea about shedding your hard protective exterior and exposing your vulnerable self for the sake of love! Then we talk a whole lot about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!

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. If you're looking for a video game design focused podcast, we might have just the one for you!

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!
