Scope Creep Saloon

Scope Creep Saloon

The lawless game pitchin' podcast. Here's the deal. Each episode, we draw 3 words from a hat and try to turn them into a brand new pitch for a video game. Then we take those 3 words and alternate between independently brainstorming off mic and then discussing on mic. We truly don't know what the words will be or where they will take us, but we will always find a way to turn them into a pitch. We try to cover the core concept, some details about gameplay and the story, and then finally a title. At the end, we write up our final pitch and deliver it to you - the listener. Every episode we're on a journey to figure out what the game will be and we hope you have fun tagging along with us.
