Episode 88 - What We Talk About When We Talk About Visual Design

This week we are back with another in our series of what we talk about episodes focused on game design. In this episode, we touch on a topic we don't often give enough credence to in our game deep dives -- visual design. We discuss why visual design is more than just graphic design and illustration, share examples of games that we think incorporates visual design well, and even pitch visual design focused board game ideas at the end. Now, sit back, enjoy, and thank you for flying Interdecisional Spaceship Air!
