This episode we're joined by Gary Burchell, the mastermind behind forthcoming 'FTL on the high seas with a drop of Cthulhu', Abandon Ship. Obviously it sounds amazing, so I invited Gary to discuss how to make entertaining fail states, why procedural generation was the right approach for the game, how an indie game is like a newborn baby, the fun in attrition, and why you should quit your job - at least for a while!
