Podcasts about Offworld Trading Company

The Civilization Series returns with Soren Johnson, lead designer of Civilization IV, Offworld Trading Company, and Old World. They discuss the teasers for Civilization VII, what they're excited for, what they're worried about, and what they hope will change about the series. They also discuss the 4X releases since their last meeting, including Humankind.

Today I bring you one of the world's more renowned strategy videogame designers – the designer of Civilization IV, one of the most beloved in the series (probably my favorite one still), and the founder of Mohawk Games, who created Offworld Trading Company, and most recently, Old World. Old World has been out for awhile … Strategy Can Be Fun – Soren Johnson on OLD WORLD Read More »

Tonight on GeekNights, we review Offworld Trading Company. An RTS with a M.U.L.E. lineage, we're having fun with it and even playing some multiplayer. In the news, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are coming, and the Playdate has a nice dev kit.In much more somber and tragic news, since the last episode we made, Russia has invaded Ukraine in what can only be described as a naked act of imperial aggression.

Listeners - please know that we are not exaggerating when we tell you that this is one of the best 3/4ths of an episode we've ever released. This episode is full thoughtful insights into our relationship to nature as creators, game players, and humans in general. But, it is the nature of the scorpion to sting - and that is exactly what Greg does to the last 1/4th of this episode. This is 'Nature.' Please enjoy.  In this episode - Tess reflects on the colonial mindset toward nature reflected in media. Giovanni probes the limits of nature as a digital construct. David explores the visual beauty of nature and briefly ponders the concept of the sublime. Greg asks, "why isn't Mario taller?" As always, a huge, huge thank you to our patrons.

From there, we discuss the steps it took for them to eventually release Old World, the complications that came up in that time and more.Finally, we chat about games company building and the culture in the industry. Leyla shares how she is actively hoping to create the inclusive climate and culture in her own company, that she would like to see everyone in the industry adopt.The Podcast Episode about Olga of Kiev:https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vcmlkaWN1bG91c2hpc3Rvcnk/episode/YmQ2Njk0YzYtNDcwOS0xMWU4LTk5ODMtZWJjYWFmYzA5Nzdl?hl=de&ved=2ahUKEwi_h8DmldHqAhXOzqQKHU8EClQQjrkEegQICxAE&ep=6Get Old World on the Epic Games Store:https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/old-world/homeFollow Leyla:- Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeylaCatJ- Discord: https://discord.gg/RNTfYZK- Website: https://www.mohawkgames.com/Follow Moonlight Game Devs:- Website: https://moonlightgamedevs.com/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/devs_moonlight- Discord: https://discord.gg/rfcYJJB- Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MoonlightGameDevs- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Moonlight-Game-Devs-117297853384521- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrGAw9i5HoaByeiQAV5FaLA

To boldly profit where no one has profited before.

Seguimos con la decada de los noventa en Café Fandango, escuchando Grunge, usando camisas a cuadros y jugando muchos juegos nuevos. Esta semana Edu vuelve a la saga de Zero Escape con el 999 y Gus comienza su final con el Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma. También fueron jugados el Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone y el Offworld Trading Company. Esta semana tuvimos varias releases, casi todas bien recibidos. Respecto a las noticias, hay mucho de distintas rivalidades (FIFA vs PES, Oculus vs HTC Vive, Edu vs Gus, etc). Después te comentamos varios anuncios de futuros juegos y remasters de juegos viejos, para pasar a contarte de las empresas que están rascando el fondo del barril de la moral en busca de dinero. Cerramos hablando de Mass Effect y con la Pregunta Fandango, donde charlamos un poco de la creación de personajes.|

Psst! Down here! Climb into this cramped cave of chat with us. There's room for one more person. In what could well be our most feature-filled podcast ever, Matt, Paul and Quinns discuss Torchbearer, Merchant of Venus, Dragon Farkle and Drinking at the Red Dragon Inn, before getting down to (yet another) peculiarly erotic folk game. But wait! There's more! Quinns snagged video game designer Soren Johnson of Offworld Trading Company to discuss civilisation-building and trading board games. Enjoy, everybody.

Soren Johnson is back to talk to Dirk and David about his new game, Offworld Trading Company. Offworld is the product of Soren’s own game development studio, Mohawk Games.

Game designer Soren Johnson returns to the show to talk about his new game, Offworld Trading Company. Built in spirit of M.U.L.E., Offworld Trading Company is an economic RTS that has the player hunting for resources and playing the market. Soren talks about recent changes to the game, the pros and cons of Early Access, and the benefits of having hyper-competitive players.

As Offworld Trading Company is set to leave Early Access, we take a look at this quirky real-time strategy game.

Nie wiem jak to się stało, że wcześniej nie słyszałem nigdzie o Offworld Trading Company, bo koncept wygląda mega interesująco. Swoją drogą to Wild Eight również, ale poczekam na więcej konkretów niż tylko zbiórka na Kickstarterze.

Jason’s off this week, so Kotaku EIC Stephen Totilo steps in to chat with Kirk about the ups and downs of playing too many video games. They talk a lot about open world game design, and Kirk tries and fails to remember the name of the Game Boy game Faceball 2000. They also talk The Witcher 3, Dying Light: The Following, Bedlam, Ziggurat, early access, Street Fighter V, and Offworld Trading Company.

Naposledy v netradiční sestavě, naposledy s netradičními tématy (a bez tradičních rubrik), mezi něž se tentokrát vklínilo povídání o hrách Batman: Arkham Knight, Offworld Trading Company a těch nejlepších vtipech na konec.

Few people understand strategy game design and development like Soren Johnson. After starting in the industry as a programmer on Civilization 3 at Firaxis, Soren went on to lead the design of Civilization 4. Later he went on to EA Maxis to work on Spore, and Zynga East to develop a free-to -play strategy game of his own design. Most recently Soren founded Mohawk Games – A small studio composed of industry veterans. Mohawk just recently released their first title, Offworld Trading Company, on Steam Early Access. In this interview Soren and I discuss strategy game design, Soren's varied career, and more.

This week we welcome one of our own back to the Bay Area by talking about ... stuff! We talk about Marvel and Spider-Man and the MCU, and also talk about Sunburn, Alto's Adventure, Offworld Trading Company, Screamride, and Namco's new MOBA Supernova. Then we close out with some letters asking about books. This week's music:  Purity Ring - Amenamy

We nerd out about the Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun trailer , talk about the early access Offworld Trading Company, discuss the best way to design achievements, and have a smooth ride down the mountain with Alto's Adventure. If you have any question or comments, please email us at podcast@bigbadaboomgames.com and we'll respond to them on the show!
