Episode 24: Board Games




The Game Engine show

Summary: Happy New Year! Welcome to the first podcast of 2012! This week we go retro! No, Im not talking 8 bit retro but that real life we used to spend more time on than the virtual life. Because most of us have fond memories of gaming before we even started video-gaming with experiences involving rolling dice, hands of cards and pieces of painted cardboard. For Episode 24 of the Game Engine Podcast we discuss the potential forefather of our video games - the board game. This week was back to the 4-man podcast staple of Andrew Bittman, Paul Sztajer, Saul Alexander and Dan Graf who have all played at least a board game or two in our lovely christmas break. We also talk a little bit about our new years resolutions for game development and we have an actual news piece about game development in the Daily Telegraph. As always, feedback and topic ideas can be thrown at us via a baffling plethora of communications media: Facebook, Twitter , email (gameenginepodcast@gmail.com), and now Google+.
