Episode 224: The Outer Worlds' Nitai Poddar & Brian Heins on Making a Late Stage Capitalism Universe

The 1099

On this week's episode of The 1099, The Outer Worlds narrative designer Nitai Poddar and senior game designer Brian Heins join Joe to talk about how they made such a weird and comedic universe full of sci-fi late-stage capitalism. The guys talk about creating complicated communities like Edgewater, how each companion reflects a different point-of-view on the plight of the universe, and how gray area game design fills in all the gaps. If you love hearing about how narrative and game design intertwine, this is the podcast for you.
