Richard is joined by Dan Alcantara, one of the members of the Dragori Games team. Based in Brazil, this episode is a unique look into game development out side of the normal UK/EUR/USA areas. Arena the Contest sounds fascinating, with 6 years of development and limited financial backing, the team has worked hard to produce a game that will be repeatedly brought to the table with massive amounts of replayability. It's a brilliant chat, and I totally recommend checking out Arena the Contest as the artwork is stunning and the game looks like its going to do really well.  Check out the links below and make sure you sign up to the newsletter.   LINKS OF NOTES www.dragorigames.com www.facebook.com/arenathecontest www.twitter.com/arenathecontest www.dragorigames.com/contact __________________________________________________________   If you like what you have heard, please take some time to Rate, Subscribe and Review us on iTunes.  https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/were-not-wizards/id1084198405     YOUTUBE - PL

Richard is joined by Chris Davis from Windborn Games to talk about their first Kickstarter - Runes of Ragnarok. We talk to Chris about his first foray into Monopoly with his sister, then his movement into designing and how Runes sat on the shelf for 10 years.

He was a brilliant guest. We had a real good laugh. Please check out his campaign, Runes of Ragnarok and consider chucking it a buck. Biggest shock ever for the 3 games you would take question...
