Episode Synopsis

For this third episode of the 1st Consim Game Jam podcast interview series we met with seminal designer Volko Ruhnke, who founded the COIN series which provided the basis of the challenge laid for participants in the 1st Consim Game Jam.
Pull up a chair to hear Volko's thoughts on the Consim Jam and what it means for the hobby, his experience as a judge and the difficulties of working out how best to fulfil that role, and advice both for future Jams and gme design in general.
We then make a turn in the second half of the podcast to explore such topics as knowing when a design is going to be viable, the pitfalls of translating history into games, some designs Volko is currently working on, and what motivates him as a designer.
Recorded in February 2021.
