Sup Holmes every Sunday!
[Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great video games. It airs live every Sunday afternoon onYouTube, and can be found in podcast form onLibsynandiTunes.]
Not long ago on Sup Holmes, we were luck to chat with Mark Venturelli, game designer onChroma Squadand co-creator of the truly free-to-play action maze crawlerRelic Hunters Zero. We talked about a lot of fun stuff, like how growing up with Brazilian television influenced the development ofChroma Squad, what it was like hearing from Saban’s lawyers about the game’s similarities toPower Rangers, and other things that I’m straining to remember but I know were great.
The part of our talk that surprised me the most was hearing about the development ofStar Vikings,Mark’s latest game. It was a concept that he came up with during some down time years ago, though he was never sure that anyone else would like it. The story on how game ended up on Steam Greenlight is pretty inspiring, especially if you’re one of those people who struggles to see the value in their own ideas.
Thanks again to Mark for hanging out with us, and be sure to tune in this afternoon at 2:30pm EST when we welcomeEric Blomquist, co-creator ofThe Song of Sevento the show.
