New Podcast 'Games Every Designer Should Play'

Lecturers Stuart Lilford, Adrian Mills and David Grant from the University of Hull have started a brand new podcast ‘Games Every Designer Should Play’.

The goal of the podcast is to make game design concepts accessible to a wider audience, particularly for aspiring designers, developers, and anyone curious about the intricacies behind games. The team take a lighthearted, conversational approach to discussing influential games, breaking down the design elements that make them so impactful. Each episode features deep dives into specific titles, like Portal and Bioshock, where the presenters explore key design principles, insights, and lessons designers can learn.

The team explain “our focus is on taking complex design ideas and presenting them in a relatable and engaging way, encouraging listeners to think critically about game design in a fun, approachable format. We also invite our listeners to share their thoughts, suggest games, and join the conversation.”
