Ep. 042 – Armikrog: Behind The Scenes at Pencil Test Studios + Irrational Games Downsizing and Titanfall Beta

Jon visited Pencil Test Studios to take a look at the development of the game Armikrog and find out how they make a video game out of clay!

How is a video game made in stop motion? What does a typical day look like for this indie studio? Jon investigated… asked the hard questions… and had some tons of fun finding the answers.

Also in this episode, Ken Levine’s message about Irrational Games earlier this week caught everyone off guard. We talk about the downsizing of the developer behind the Bioshock franchise, and what this means to the games industry. The Titanfall beta is also fresh on everyone’s mind! What did we think? Find out all of these things and more!
