Tonight’s entertainments include a joyful jaunt into the world of video game creation.
Particularly the world of one video game creator: Amir Rajan.
Our esteemed guest created these phenomenal iOS games:
-A Noble Circle
-A Dark Room
-The Ensign
Garrett and Amir go deep into the world of game development, the adventurous nature of coding a game for public consumption, and where the transcendence from victim to adventurer relates to his own journey.
Amir created A Dark Room in his spare time. Check it out if you haven’t. It’s a minimalist masterpiece of a game, with deep content and many surprises.
The game was an accidental viral success, which led Amir to write his book: Surviving the App Store. (Listeners to the show get a free copy, as per instructions on the episode. As of 5.31.17, the link is down. Amir says it’ll be back up within a month of this date.)
Join us for a deep dance into the mind of a brilliant game creator, and the secrets behind how he did it, and what it’s like from the inside.
Fear not, young adventurer, we also cover all our favorite childhood video games, and explore the overlap between gaming and everyday reality.
