The Artful Escape & Australian Game Developer Award Finalists

The Artful Escape is another game to receive big praise out of the Explosion Network offices and Dylan talks about why it’s so great. Pair this with the announcement of the Australian Game Developer Awards shortlist, which The Artful Escape is part of, and it’s a great week for that team.

Also on the show this week we talk about not having playing Life is Strange: True Colors yet, the Pokemon Happy Meals at McDonald’s, Zing opening a marketplace and the Tripwire CEO getting himself thrown out of his office in a record time.
