4w agoTap to summarizeIn episode 142 of Game Design Unboxed, we talk with freelance game designer Rosco Schock about his first published game, Diplomacy: The Golden Blade, released by Renegade Game Studios. The conversation focuses on the challenge of translating the “feel” of a classic, beloved strategy game into a streamlined and more approachable card game experience. We also discuss the path from prototype to publication, finding the right publisher and timing for a licensed project, and balancing respect for a 60-year-old franchise while creating something new. Rosco explains how Diplomacy: The Golden Blade now serves as an on-ramp to the larger Diplomacy experience, why understanding a game’s unique selling points matters, and how patience and persistence pay off in game design. Plus, we learn what a game triathlon is. Listen Now! (mp3) Featuring: Rosco Schock – Guest Danielle Reynolds – Host
