Episode 41 - Every Game a Painting

Critical Distance: Keywords in Play

We end this year of interviews with Mark Brown of Game Maker's Toolkit.

Mark Brown went a different direction with his video based video game criticism. Instead of interviews, opinion shows or holistic game examinations, he devoted his channel to the exploration of craftsmanship in video games. Devoting his energy to explaining a singular thing in each video, what it does and how it is accomplished. We discuss how he explores a game design concept, the use it has found in various different audiences, and where he hopes to take the channel into the future.
