Jon and Dirk are paid a visit by regular guest Soren Johnson, who stops by to talk about his brand-new studio 'Mohawk Games' and their first project, 'Mars', an economic RTS built out of the legacy of Dani Bunten's venerable M.U.L.E. They discuss the challenges of and goals behind Soren setting up his own shop, and what he hopes the unique game will achieve. Soren also reveals the first game to ever make him cry. And trust us, it's fitting.---------------------------Contact InformationJon Shafer - @JonShaferDesign, www.JonShaferOnDesign.com, [email protected] Knemeyer - @DKnemeyer, www.artana.com, [email protected] Johnson - @SorenJohnson, www.Designer-Notes.com, www.MohawkGames.com---------------------------Episode Outline0:01:00 - The story behind Mohawk0:08:12 - 'Core' strategy games0:14:50 - Kickstarter & Steam Early Access0:35:44 - Mohawk's first game: 'Mars'0:48:40 - The ups and downs of economic competition0:54:22 - Real-time VS turn-based1:02:48 - M.U.L.E.1:14:50 - The tech behind strategy games1:22:20 - Past lessons applied1:27:05 - The first game to make Soren cry
