This week on the cast, I welcomed Jon Shafer: owner of Conifer Games and lead designer behind Civilization 5 from his time at Firaxis to the cast for one of our longest podcasts we’ve had in awhile.
For the first hour we talked about a variety of topics related to the Game Industry: Microtransactions, AAA development and more. Followed by a thirty minute discussion on crowd funding and the future of kickstarter. Then for the last thirty or so minutes we talked about the design of his upcoming strategy game — At The Gates.
