"You are not actually the general... because... ” - Astrid
Crispy Creative are an Indie Team who specialise in UX/UI design for other companies. They're hoping to fund queer sci-fi game A Long Journey To An Uncertain End through Kickstarter pledges. Astrid (they/them), Alex CG (they/them) and Samantha (she/her) are joined on this episode by Kylan Coats (he/him) and Rowan Williams (they/them) to talk about representation in other games, along with how studios can be a little nicer and still get things done.
There's a little bit of audio trouble during the record, so this might not be our best sounding. Hopefully you'll forgive this (we've fixed the issue so it shouldn't impact any of our future content).
