Episode 23: Excursions in Game Design with Ben Rosset and Dennis Northcott

Joel and Chris strap on their space helmets this week and take a cruise to the far reaches of game design when they sit down with designer Ben Rosset and Dennis Northcott, one of the minds behind Kinson Key Games. With the recent launch of Excursions on Kickstarter, Ben and Dennis share the games that define them as well as their thoughts on game design, simultaneous action, running a successful game company, and more. And what interview would be complete without Chris putting them through their paces in a brand new game set against a ticking clock? Will they be successful? Only one way to find out! Download, give us a listen, and then pop on over to the Excursions Kickstarter and see if it’s a game for you!
