150: Galen Drew | Ice Water Games | Pattern
Galen Drew is a game developer and visual artist. He created Pattern (2022) and worked on Pine Tar Poker (2022). He is a member of Ice Water Games. I previously featured Pattern's development on IGI when I interviewed Michael Bell, the game's composer. Pattern is a walking/hiking simulator with deep musings on what it means to create art and make games. I had a genuinely excellent experience when I played Pattern. The visuals, music, and mystery are all thoroughly appealing and evokative. Pine Tar Poker is an ultra fun, creative, and odd poker game on mobile. Pattern is available on PC.
In today's episode we will discuss procedural games, playtesting, the music of Pattern, programming, and much more.
