In this episode, I spent a lovely hour with Nathan & Mason, two longtime friends and co-developers of Hermit and Pig, a story-rich, turn-based RPG about mushrooms and... social anxiety, among other things! Nathan & Mason have really mastered the concept of pouring all of yourself into your creations, and their passion for the game they're making comes through in every second of the episode. Enjoy! 🎒💛

In this episode, I spent some time with Eugene, developer of Dead Cells-inspired roguelike Katanaut. From handling player feedback to battling perfectionism, Eugene's journey is definitely worth hearing about! Also, I could probably listen to his voice to relax before sleep. Enjoy! 🎒💛

NOTE: My audio capture pains around my microphone continue in this episode, but I'm getting closer to a fix 🥲 sorry everyone! I'll have them sorted for Episode 81!

In this one, I spent some time with Joseph McCormack, a solo developer working on a third-person RPG called Aetherfall - which blends martial arts and elemental interactions. Joseph is working on a very ambitious game for a solo developer, and he has many learnings to share for others doing the same! Enjoy! 🎒💛
