About this listen


Don Carson started as an illustrator, but soon his work expanded beyond the sketchbook to focus on the design of physical and virtual spaces. He worked as a Senior Show Designer, as an Imagineer, he designed entire lands for the Disney Parks and he is now Sr. Art Director at Mighty Coconut, the team behind Walkabout Minigolf, one of the most popular and loved apps on the Meta Quest. In this conversation we look at:

  • How the team has embraced the low-poly graphics to create worlds people love

  • Some of the major challenges when it comes to building worlds and telling stories

  • His secret for engaging and keeping players hooked

  • Don offers me a guided tour of Raptor's Cliff to experience firsthand some of the storytelling techniques that make Walkabout’s worlds so popular and of course, I get the chance to showcase my terrible golfing skills
