Scott Harber joins show host Chris ORegan to chat about Chaos Ride as well as his long history in video game development. Momentum is something that has been a focus of many games and Chaos Ride is very much part of that well trodden genre with the exception that it is stupidly fast. A first person racing game with the player flying down a tube, with the only way to maintain speed is to respect gravity. Once you understand that, you are golden as they

2014/08/01

Chris O'Regan and Howard Tsao of Muse Games discuss at length, along with why people are drawn to indie games over and above AAA mainstream titles. The holy grail of multiplayer games is the creation of team based play that infuse a heightened sense of camaraderie between the participants , which is emphasised when in a LAN environment. Many games have tried to create this bond between players, some brilliantly and others not so much. Guns of Icarus by Muse Games is very much a team game and one

In this episode of The Sausage Factory, Chris O'Regan talks to Alan about his inspirations behind 0rbitalis and his other projects.

The Sausage Factory ·

2014/04/29

Chris ORegan talks to Jóhann Guðjónsson of Icelandic developers Lumernox Games about this very interesting puzzle platform game. When you split the control scheme for games it can go one of two ways. It can confuse and frustrate the player or bring an added dimension of play that would normally not be present. Aarus Awakening thankfully settles into the latter camp. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sausage/TSF_Episode23.mp3 The Sausage Factory 23 was edited by Chris
