What can portray a dystopian society where creating miracles with tech is applauded, an uncertain future is on the precipice, and the struggle for power is palpable? 2020? No! Cyberpunk games!
We’re thrilled to invite Mike Pondsmith to the (gamers) chair. The designer that pushed dystopian gaming to the limit at the time (1988) and it still rings as loud today. Mike joins Niko, founder of TOA, to discuss how he was influenced when writing cyberpunk, why Starwars would be better as an anime, and how much responsibilities matter when you’re Player 1.
