Qt3 Games Podcast: Deep Sixed: Flowers for Ursa

I speak with Ryan Hewer from Little Red Dog Games about Space Alert, Papers Please, Serenity, and Flowers for Algernon, which all relate to Deep Sixed, his game about flying a spaceship unfit for space.

Thanks Tom, this was an awesome discussion. It totally sold me on the game.

I’m a little behind on my Qt3 Games podcasts. I just listened to this one on Tuesday.

This was a really great podcast. I loved hearing the deep dive into the mechanics of Deep Sixed, and how it was made for Engineers. It made me want to play it so badly. And then there was further discussion on how the game wants to punish you, and why it is unabashed about punishing you, and I respect that too, and I’m glad I got to hear about the game in such detail, even if I never actually get to play it.
