The Sausage Factory: 499 – Aura of Worlds by Cognitive Forge

The Sausage Factory

Chris interviews Anthony Liew of Cognitive Forge about the design and development of Aura of Worlds, an action adventure roguelike which has the player falling on their own sword, rather than those wielded by others. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode499.mp3 Music featured is by Amanda J.

Bronze Knight The Sausage Factory 499 was edited by Chris O'Regan The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of videogames. It examines the way in which games are made by asking the very people who create them, though the questions asked aren't just about game design, they also cover how developers made their start and what inspires them as creators. Split into two halves, the first segment delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing, whereas the second part of the show covers the game that they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game's gestation in full and frank detail then you have found the right podcast.
