Hosts: Arthur Marris, Max Brown Episode 27 of the Toronto Indie Guys includes special guest Shawn McGrath from ][, and also the creator of ‘Dyad‘ – a tunnel racing puzzle shooting PSN game. It was released on July 17 2012, and we were luckily to ask some questions about it. In this EP we discuss the various aspects of Dyad, and go into an in-depth discussion on interaction in game, and how it tells a good narrative/story. Look out for Shawn at Gamercamp 2012! You can buy Dyad on the PSN, and look out for the PC release later this year, or next. THE MACHINE!
