Episode 8: True Innovation in Games and Gambling with Kim Lund

Game developer Kim Lund joins me to talk about the difference between surface changes and recontextualizing games and why gambling needs a Dungeon Master.

‘The most popular spot in our casino right now is whatever is on that one machine that is placed in one specific corner.’

“The gaming industry needs a dungeon master.”

In this episode of the Talking Shop Podcast, I chat with Kim Lund, the Founder and Chief Product Officer for Aftermath Games.

Kim and I chat about everything from a Skype group we were members of a decade ago to his experience in the online poker space to his current job, which is developing new, innovative games.

One of the big themes of the conversation is an industry-wide reluctance to change.
