Video Game Design Podcasts
2016 December
As hardened veterans of the game industry it is only right we look up to masters for inspiration and reflection on the craft. In both of these podcasts, a game designer interviews other game designers. TONE CONTROL is spearheaded by Steven Gaynor, the designer of Gone Home, while DESIGNER NOTES are led by Soren Johnson, the designer of Civilization IV.
I recommend starting with Tim Schafer, Nina Freeman, Brendon Chung, Ken Levine and Davey Wreden to get you going. Read through the guests list, games discussed list and listen to whoever made games that speak to you.
Reflect on how their wisdom about the development process speaks to your experience making games.
