39: Give the Gift of Lifeline

June 17, 2015

Our awesome guest this week is Mars Jokela, one of the creators of Lifeline* which is a terrific text-based game for iOS and now Android as well.

*Spoiler Alert: If you haven't played the game and plan to play it, you might want to wait to listen to this episode. 

Mars tells us the story of how Lifeline came to be, his background in game development, how his team approaches game design and much more.
