Thomas Was Alone

30 Years Of Play

Thomas Was Alone released in 2012 and went on to become one of the biggest independent hits of the past decade. It even secured a BAFTA for Danny Wallace, the creator of Yes Man and narrator of the experience. But how did it come to life? In this episode of the podcast, George catches up with Mike Bithell to find out how. They talk about Mike's career path at Blitz and it's eerie similarities to the plot of God of War. They discuss the democratising effect of Unity. And they chat about Mike's voice over day fears, while also attempting to say the word anthropomorphised confidently. -------- You can listen to the 30 Years of Play podcast on Soundcloud, Acast, iTunes and Spotify.
