Planning our own birthday party...

On This Episode:

Carter and Tom Eastman sit down, like actually in person sit down, and discuss his studio's first two games, Color Sheep and Orion's Forge, and why the former may have succeeded where the latter did not. As well, the third of their planned launch trilogy and why it didn't work out is discussed.

Does a game need narrative justification to be good? As Tom mentions that he's playing Where's My Perry? Carter counters with why he thought Where's My Mickey? was the much better game because its concept was actually justified.
