In this, we talk about how Boiling Point came to be, how Peter wrote the first drafts, Kickstarter, the Base Raiders setting, and how playtesting comes into the process. Once Boiling Point is done we will try for a followup interview to talk about the process after the Kickstarter is done.<\/p>\n<div itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/AudioObject\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Game Designer&amp;#8217;s Workshop: Interview with Peter Nielsen\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2014-10-09T10:13:44-05:00\" \/><meta itemprop=\"encodingFormat\" content=\"audio\/mpeg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT1H27M24S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"Our Kickstarter for Boiling Point is still going on and we could use your support!
