73 - Make It Juicy

This week, we check out a new kind of object of discussion for the podcast: “Make it Juicy,” a game/presentation designed by Lonebot that demonstrates how to make a game more “juicy” without fundamentally altering its mechanics. After a brief discussion of what exactly game juice is, we speculate about whether juice is simply “better” or if it can actually alter a game’s theme in concrete ways. And Jordan talks about alien refuse, for some reason.
