Hey all,
Just a quick update to say that the chat between the developer (me!) Tom Betts and occasional collaborator Jim Rossignol is now on youtube. The interview was originally screened as part of the LudoNarracon steam festival during May 2025 (hence the banner running at the base of the video)
Its just under an hour of us discussing the various design considerations that have gone into making the game, along with examining some of the influences that fold into it. There's also a bit of chat about how the game started up and my approach as a solo indie developer. Hope you find it interesting!
