On this episode, Larry & Clinton talk with Amir Fassihi, Studio Director at Dead Mage Studios, creators of Children of Morta. Children of Morta is a hack'n'slash action RPG with a rogue-lite approach to character development, where you don’t play as a single character - but a whole, extraordinary family of heroes. In this interesting conversation, they talk about the creation of the studio in 2010 and how it's grown, how Amir's role at the company has changed over the years, some of the lessons learned while developing their previous releases, and how Children of Morta grew from a side project that was only supposed to take 6 months, into a game they spent 5 years on, and is the biggest release for the studio so far. Other games discussed include: Garshasp, Shadow Blade, God of War, Hades, Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, Risk of Rain, the Diablo series, ----------------------------- Find Children of Morta on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/330020/Children_of_Morta/ Visit the Dead Mage Studios website: https://deadmage.com/ Follow Dead Mage Studios on Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadmagestudio Follow Amir Fassihi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ahfassihi Learn more about your ad choices.
