Hearthstone: Dev Interview with Ben Brode and Mike Donais

Two of the brilliant brains behind the cards you love — senior game designers Ben Brode and Mike Donais from Blizzard — stop by the Happy Hearthstone this week to chat about the new Goblins vs. Gnomes expansion cards, the process of making the game, and the future of Hearthstone.

Pull up a chair, sit down, and share a chat with these fun designers from Blizzard’s HQ.

NOTE: Apologies for the unusually poor audio quality of this episode! In an apocalypse-like scenario, my headset died 3 minutes before the interview, and I had to record using a spare pair of earbuds that had an 18th-century-quality microphone attached. We’ll be back on track with pure audio bliss next episode.
