Sim Game Design Talk and a little bit of Housecleaning

I must be in the mood for setting records because I have yet another podcast for you. During this show I start of by taking care of some house cleaning. I then move on to a much touted topic Sim Game Design. I talk about the systemic and the mimetic sims and what can be done to improve these sims based on basic game design theory (game world, player motivation and context) and how these lessons can be applied to game design as a whole.

For my next prerecorded podcast I pan on doing a detailed review of FSX!

In the meantime, you may send me comments or questions by emailing me [e-mail].

And don't forget that this weeks episode of Let's Talk Trains is available on this feed. Just scroll down an entry or three.

Until next time,
Nicolas

P.S. Does anyone know of free MP3 encoding software? Sound Forge is whining about letting me encode in mp3 for free. Silly Sony.
