Making difficulty fun in tactical shooter - Shardpunk

I'm joined by Sławek who made Shardpunk! We discuss how did he approach the design for his tactical shooter which is a blend of XCOM and Darkest Dungeon. From the design of characters, through design of enemies to design of conveying information through tutorial and Codex, we cover a lot of ground. On top we add Sławek experiences working with freelance artists: the good, the bad and the ugly!
