Super Gamer is back with an all-new episode featuring James Van Niekerk, creator of Valor & Villainy: Minions of Mordak, which has already raised more than TEN TIMES its Kickstarter goal.
James is a fellow Winnipegger, where its currently -32 degrees, so grab some cocoa and listen in on how this game went from pen-and-paper prototype to where it is now.
Daniel Voth is a super nice guy who’s always gone out of his way to say hello to me at events. He’s also a major contributor in the Winnipeg gaming scene. He’s a project manager at Bit Space Development, administrator of IGDA Winnipeg, and co-coordinator of Winnipeg Game Jam.

No matter what I’m doing, if it isn’t gaming, a part of me nags: Isn’t this time you could be spending leveling up? I’ll be 31 this year and I’m not sure I’ll ever learn to ignore the fact that video games reward those who play them. Continue reading
Friend of the show, Jonny eSports is here and he’s gamejamming a game in the coolest way: he’s letting FanQuest attendees design his monsters. Wicked!
