Gil and Scott are delighted to welcome Martin Wallace again to
the present. Martin was first on the present on
Ludology 46 – Getting All the way down to Brass Tacks again in 2012 with
Geoff Engelstein and a really enthusiastic Ryan Sturm. On this
episode, we meet up with Martin to see what he is been as much as within the
final 9 years.

Martin is the designer of many well-loved technique video games, like
Brass, Age of Steam (and all its associated video games, like Railways of
the World), London, A Research in Emerald, AuZtralia, and A Research in
Emerald.

Technical word: Martin’s recording has some dropouts in it;
sadly, these appeared to come back straight from his microphone,
so there wasn’t a lot we may do about them. We hope you benefit from the
episode anyway!
