Exploring Artistic Influences in Game Design

We're joined by guest hosts Adam Saltsman (Finji), Trent Kusters (League of Geeks), and Teddy Dief (We Are OFK) to discuss Vainger, the 29th game in the UFO 50 collection.

“The Vainger returns to Io and finds itself betrayed. The enemy must be found and eradicated.”

Next week: Rock On! Island
