“In situ.” Rumble; Making Games for Spaces

This week's episode is sponsored by Codecks, the project management tool for game developers, by game developers! Visit http://codecks.io/nicegamesclub to let them know we sent you!
It's still Wednesday in the clubhouse, which means an extra-long meta section where your nice hosts discuss showing off games at the recent 2DCon convention, Martha maturing both as a person and a culture, and what it feels like to have your words translated into Japanese.

Oh, and we talk about designing rumble for your game, and close out the show with a great discussion about making games designed for unique spaces, including perhaps a preview of a future Nice Games Jam.
