Helping You Design Great Games People Love
Covering the full breadth of digital, tabletop, and role playing games, The Game Design Round Table inspires and educates aspiring and experienced game designers.
On Who, What, Why? I discuss game design with those who make games and try to learn more about the game design process. Each episode I interview a designer, publisher, developer, artist, etc. of tabletop games such as card, board, or role playing. Some episodes discuss big ideas in design rather than individual games. I have both mainstream and independent developers as guests.
Vitor "John" Pissolato e Pietro Amaral debatem quinzenalmente com diferentes convidados sobre Game Design com foco nos jogos mobile!
