Description
*Life-permitting, there will be a new episode every Friday!* A casual podcast by Bit Waffle Games documenting our journey in designing and publishing board games. We talk about a bit of our lives, a bit of our design process, and a bit of board games. Bit Waffle Games is an independent board game studio made up of two friends, Ralph and Stephen. We've been playing video games and board games for years, and wanted to tell our own stories through games. With Ralph's extensive experience in design and illustration, and Stephen's experience in UX design and graphic design, they have a strong foundation to be successful in this industry that they love.
