The So Many Games Podcast
The So Many Games Podcast is a monthly show produced by the team behind the video game review website So Many Games. Hosted by Jason, we invite video game creators to talk about their craft and the games they’ve made.
Usually concentrating on the guest’s background in game development, the creative process behind their project, and their thoughts on game design and the industry.
We hope this is a place to come for developers to shine a light on their game through deep and meaningful conversation and for listeners to learn some new facts behind their favourite games.
#19 | Phonopolis with Lukáš Kunce
The puzzle narrative game Phonopolis was released earlier this year and showcased a dictatorship-led world shown through gorgeous stop-motion visuals and movements that were made with real cardboard and paints.
This artistic choice created a truly unique game with a populated world full of charm and mystery. The puzzles also showed originality through clever use of the environment and fun alternative designs from the norm.
Lukáš Kunce is the producer of Phonoplois and head of marketing for Amanita Design, and he kindly spared some time to discuss the many elements that make up the game, including its art, music, its narration and much more!
