Listen "Episode 040 - What Makes A Game Immersive?"
Episode Synopsis
In a rare continuation on the previous week’s topic – this week we’re talking immersion!
But what is immersion in a game? Is it a Scrooge McDuck style dive into a swimming pool of board games? Or is it something more design based? More player based? I’m sure curious to know what Robert, Evan and Steve dredge up from the depths of philosophy on this one!
