episode 1: Martin Noutch (Steam Highwayman)
S02E01 - For the Season 2 premiere, I sit down for a chat with Martin Noutch to discuss his open world series Steam Highwayman, and the state of gamebooks.
We talk about...
- The importance of looking forward in the gamebook community
- Why exploring genres other than fantasy is worthwhile
- How Martin thought about the business side of launching his series
- How specific details (like the way a beer looks, smells, and tastes, vs "its beer") create a world
- Innovative Mechanics in Steam Highwayman
