The Sausage Factory is an interview-based podcast that lifts the lid on the makers of video games. It is often said by video game developers that the act of making games is not as nearly as interesting as actually playing them. So much so that many even liken it to a sausage factory in that while sausages are great, the act of making them is something no one should ever bear witness to. The Sausage Factory podcast aims to disprove this view by bringing the video game audience to the creators of the titles they love to play by interviewing developers. Split into two halves, the first delves into what makes the developers tick by asking about how they started, what and who inspires them and what games they are currently playing. The second half covers what game they are currently working on and the thought processes behind its development. So, if you really want to hear about a game in full undiluted detail then you have found the right podcast.

The Sausage Factory Episode 227: Inkle Studios
Show host and producer Chris O'Regan chats to Joe Humfrey of Inkle Studios about the development of Heaven's Vault.
Storytelling normally revolves around the characters more than the world they find themselves in. But what if a story places prominence on both facets of fiction and the world starts to overshadow the characters? Inkle Studios seeks to overcome this problem by making the characters of Heaven's Vault - and the world in which they reside - utterly fascinating. It is this that this episode of The Sausage Factory addresses, as well as the creation of a unique language for the game's players to fathom out.
