On this week’s episode we are excited to talk with Jon Hare from Tower Studios. You may remember Jon as being the co-owner of Sensible Software and responsible for classics such as Cannon Fodder, Mega Lo Mania & Sensible World of Soccer to name a few. We delve into the world of Sociable Soccer and chat about the journey involved in creating a game and what’s involved including the pitfalls, the hurdles and the rewards. Get a deep insight into the process of creating a game and what’s involved along the way from the perspective of the developer. We delve into topics covering platform exclusivity, online challenges, turning one’s vision into a reality and how do you overcome licensing hurdles? We also chat about the 1990’s and look back at the original games from Sensible Software including a very interesting discussion about Mega Lo Mania. So sit back, pour your favorite beverage and tune in to another awesome episode of the Are You Game Podcast.
