Show Notes
This week, we speak to the leaders of AdHoc Studio, the developer behind the smash hit superhero workplace comedy game Dispatch.
In this edition, we discuss the team's 'hell' of trying to find a publisher, why the game was viewed as being high risk, and their experiences of self-publishing the title.
Plus, we chat comedy games, their relationship with Critical Role, the episodic model, and what the team is planning to do next.
