Cthulhu Tactics, a miniatures tactical combat game by Modiphius Entertainment has been converted into a turn based strategy game by Auroch Digital.

2018/09/28

Chris ORegan talks to Dan Smith of Dan Smith Studios about how The Spectrum Retreat was developed. Seemingly trapped in a strange hotel that is staffed entirely by robots, the player finds themselves breaking into a forbidden area under the guidance of a disembodied voice.

2018/09/21

Chris O'Regan talks to Diarmid Campbell of the University of Cambridge about how Wired was developed. Educational games are typically very bad, for a whole variety of reasons and the challenge to make one that is both educational and entertaining is one that was presented to Diarmid Campbell by the Engineering department of the University of Cambridge and he rose to it. The fruit of his efforts is Wired, an excellent game that describes the intricacies of electrical circuits and how currents pass

2018/09/18

Chris O'Regan talks to Max Bernardi of Daedalic Entertainment about how State of Mind was developed. What if your memories could be replaced by someone elses? What is reality at that point? These are the questions that State of Mind tries to answer and does an excellent job of it in the form of a hybrid point and click/action adventure game. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/180908_TSF_Episode196.mp3 Edited by Chris O'Regan

2018/09/11

Chris O'Regan talks to Edvin Aedma of Luminous about how Circle Empires was developed. When you consider 4x games you normally think of titles like Civilization or Stellaris. These are grand scale titles that take many hours to complete. But what if you did away the with the complex resource gathering and unit creation and just go in and obliterate everything in the player's path. That is what Circle Empires is all about, cut out the middle man and get straight to the point, taking over everything

2018/08/31

Chris O'Regan talks to Keaton White of Abyssal Arts about how City of the Shroud was developed.

Chris O'Regan talks to Anthony Giovannetti about how Slay the Spire was developed.

2018/08/17

Chris O'Regan talks to David Miller and Jon Wingrove about how Bomber Crew was developed. World War II bombers have often been simulated in videogame form, be it B17 Bomber on the Intellivision through to B-17 Flying Fortress on the Amiga, Atari ST and PC.

Chris O'Regan talks to Christopher King about how 20XX was developed. While videogame development has evolved significantly over the past 30 years, there are still some aspects of older titles that have stood the test of time. But what if you took some of those design elements and mashed them together with more modern concepts? Well this is what happened with 20XX and after appearing on Steam late last year 20XX has made its way across to the

2018/07/27

Chris O'Regan talks to Nick Cellini about how Ashi Lake of Fire was developed. Esoteric puzzle games are difficult to develop as they can fall into the trap of being far too frustrating for their own good. Ashi Lake of Light does not fall into thios trap as it gently eases the player into how each of the player mechanics interact with one another as the player progresses between each level. The concept of guiding a fire fly through a course of lanterns that all have varying degrees of brightness is

2018/07/20

Chris O'Regan talks to Chris Cullen and Craig Taylor of Lunar Rooster about the creation of Sky Noon. Not every team based shooter has to be violent and Sky Noon, a variant of the Team Fortress model is certainly not in any way blood thirsty. With everyone armed with little more than puffs of air, the body count is kept to zero yet this does not at all diminish the level of entertainment Sky Noon

The pureness of arcade games are a constant draw for many to the point where many shirk modern games in favour of the old classics from the 1970s and 80s.

The world of Warhammer is coming to an end. The rise of the Chaos legions cannot be stemmed, only slowed as the descent into destruction and madness continues unabated. Vermintide II by Fatshark Games builds on the original co-op slaughter-fest by changing the scenery to broad daylight and throwing the minions of Nurgle, the Chaos god of disease and pestilence, into the fray as players fight their way through a host of Skaven and Chaos legions alike.In this episode of The Sausage Factory, show host
