We go under the sea this week with lead game designer Thomas Bardet to talk about Under The Waves, the new narrative-driven adventure game from Paris-based Parallel Studio. Thomas explains the challenges of making a game set underwater, the team’s visual and narrative inspirations, striking a balance between cozy gameplay and emotional storytelling, and more. Timecodes:  Find Thomas on Twitter @TomBuston, and check out Under The Waves here. Follow the podcast on Twitter and YouTube @RealTimeStrats, and email us questions at [email protected].
