Episode 151 – An evening with Runic Games

Greetings, Dorkadians! This week we’re on location at Runic Games studio in Seattle. We sit down with Runic president, Marsh Lefler; Game Director/Lead Level Designer, Patrick Blank; and Minister of Culture, Wonder Russell to talk about their upcoming game, Hob. How does the studio that brought us Torchlight move from action RPG to a visual adventure game free of text and dialogue? What sort of games influenced them? What do you call that little round critter that flies around to lead players to secret areas? We get the answers to all of this and more.

Show Notes!

First, watch the trailer for Hob.

Be sure to check out the official website for more information.

We did have to look up the definition of hob. Very interesting.
