Hey everyone! It’s time for Episode 3 of the Dinofarm Podcast, where we talk about a few articles that we’ve read and other news items, as well as take some listener questions. It’s a bit of a shorter episode, at about 41 minutes, due to some technical issues we had at the end.
In this episode we talk about:
Jonathan Blow’s recently CBS News bit
Warren Spector’s recent words on Eurogamer
Sebastien Lambottin’s article on Gamasutra about designing “combat” systems
“Craftsmanship Vs. Art – What are Games” on Gamasutra
As well as take quite a few user questions. Enjoy!
