Qt3 Games Podcast: Andy Schatz and Tooth and Tail

Join me for a discussion with the guy who brought us Tooth and Tail, the latest RTS that makes it a good time to be into RTSs.

This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at http://www.quartertothree.com/fp/2017/09/21/qt3-games-podcast-andy-schatz-tooth-tail/

Why wasn’t Wind in the Willows brought up AT LEAST ONE TIME

Is that the one about the rabbits that escape from the World Health Organization? I haven’t read that one.

-Tom

I think it’s the movie with all the smarty rats living in the bush with the Christmas tree lights.

You’re both crazy, it’s the one with the hobbit and Val Kilmer.

Plague Dogs

just think about that book or movie

Now you are depressed.

Very cool to hear Andy talk design decisions with Tom.

… the latest RTS that makes it a good time to be into RTSs.

Tom, what other games did you have in mind when you wrote this?

Well, there haven’t been a lot lately, which is what I meant to imply. It’s a good time to be into RTSs because of Tooth and Tail. Otherwise, well, Total War: Warhammer, of course. Infected Planet. Uh, I’m sure I’m missing some. Someone help me out here. MOBAs don’t count.

-Tom

Gotcha. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on any other titles.

Sometimes it feels like innovations in the RTS genre are few and far between, so it’s really cool to see Tooth and Tail do something new.
