Inside Track 041: Martin Wallace
 |
Martin Wallace has been designing some outstanding game titles since the mid 90s. Some you will recognize include La Strada, Runebound, Age of Steam, and Struggle of Empires. His work can be seen on the shelves from several different publishers, including his own company, Warfrog Games. He loves to work with historical themes and has an educational background which inspires some great conversation in today’s show. |
| The game that got the most attention today was Toledo. It is scheduled for release in June of 2008. In keeping with Martin’s love of historical themes, we work in 17th century Toledo, Spain to gather the right resources and have the finest and most beautiful swords crafted to present to the emperor. Toledo sounds like a dangerous place where protecting your honor may require some swordplay. We will be looking closer at Toledo very soon. |  |

If any of you guys get a chance to visit the UK jump on it. The place is amazing. I went last year and visited Manchester, traveled through Leeds some and spent most of the week up in a town called Skipton at the southern tip of the Yorkshire Dales (just a short hop from Wensleydale Creamery where you can get the favorite cheese of Wallace and Grommit). After coming back I found out that the guys who do Yog Radio are in the Leeds area as well. If you are into the Call of Cthulhu thing you might be able to do a combined show with them.
Oh, and what Martin said about Manchester is true. It is industrial feeling but it still is pretty cool if you like the historical events that took place there.
