Nice Games Club - a gamedev podcast! "I do business." DLC and Expansions; Genre in Games
This week, Stephen finally gets a theme song, Mark plays devil's advocate, and Martha gets dangerously close to a topic your nice hosts swore to never talk about on the show.
DLC and Expansions
When Mark was young, he bought unofficial Quake mods on CD-ROM.
Turns out, Electronics Boutique and EB Games are the same thing.
Turns out, Dungeons & Dragons does use software-style versioning for their “patch notes.”
After recording this episode, Mark had an idea for how to price DLC in Metro Nexus.
Genre in Games
Wikipedia says “Genres are not usually defined by the actual content of the game.”
Turns out, Call of Duty games have been nominated for a lot of BAFTAs over the years.
A good critical review of Jason Schreier’s book “Blood, Sweat, And Pixels,” which Mark read recently and really liked.
