Chris Bourassa on Creating Darkest Dungeon - a podcast by Dr. Michael Mallen, The Id DM

My guest this week for Episode 2 of Ego Check with The Id DM is Chris Bourassa, Co-Owner of Red Hook Studios and Creative Director for Darkest Dungeon. Mr. Bourassa spoke with me about his sources of inspiration for Darkest Dungeon, and the realities of the lifestyle of an independent game developer. He shared the trials of the long hours in making the game, the joys of its successful launch, and the daunting task of mustering the resources to start over on a new project. We discuss the Stress mechanic in Darkest Dungeon, which forces the player to consider the mental health of their heroes.
