Some pretty wild adventure game design theories in there, too: “Death as a reward for exploration”. They probably played one Sierra game too many. ---

The Museum of Arts and Digital Entertainment in California interviews David Fox. If you’re a patron of The MADE on Patreon, they also posted an interview with Ron Gilbert, which will probably be made available to the public next week. Prior to this, they did several podcasts talking about adventure games in general. Have a listen! [https://art19.com/shows/the-madecast](https://art19.com/shows/the-madecast) ---

THE KEEPER of RETROGAMING TOWN Have you ever wondered how a video game is created and what are the stages that lead to its completion? I had the honor of interviewing Daniele Spadoni, an independent developer who has been dedicating himself to this fantastic art for years, creating fantasy multiverses based on films and video games, from Back to the Future to Ghostbusters, passing through Terminator and The Knights of the Zodiac. His philosophy is this: “My goal is to revive the magic of the 80s. Creativity and spirituality have a strong energy to create and share love and transmit passion to others”. Here the full interview. Good vision!!! [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/9xxxtTBe2nU/maxresdefault.jpg "Come si fanno i videogiochi (indipendenti)? Intervista a Daniele Spadoni") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxxtTBe2nU) PS. There are subtitles … I hope you can understand something. ---
