Grace Bruxner | On Life and Frog Detective
27Cressup chats to Grace Bruxner, the creator of the quirky and IGF-nominated video game series Frog Detective. They talk about what it feels like now that the final game in the series has been made (and the games have been ported to console), where the idea for the game came from, what it was like getting nominated for an IGF, their favourite Frog Detective character and what they're working on at the moment.
