Honest Indies Podcast EP. 1 - The Many Hats of Saffron Aurora - Kitten Cup Studio Interview

Honest Indies Podcast EP. 2 - The Doctor Developer, Miko Charbonneau - prettysmart games Interview

I was lucky enough to with the Creative Director and Co-Founder of prettysmart games, Dr. Miko Charbonneau, shortly after the release of the studio's latest title, The Spirit Lift. We talked about the many somewhat obscure consoles Miko grew up with access to, a $10,000 camera starting on fire, running a remote indie studio, making games with your partner, and dive deep into The Spirit Lift. The first video episode of the podcast wasn't intended to be the second episode, so there will still be at least one audio-only release coming up. But with The Spirit Lift have just released a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to get this one out asap.

Honest Indies Podcast EP. 1 - The Many Hats of Saffron Aurora - Kitten Cup Studio Interview

This release is long overdue. I had the pleasure of chatting with the Creative Director and Co-Founder of Kitten Cup Studio, Saffron Aurora. We talked about formative childhood games, university in Canada, breaking into the industry, starting the studio, and a Capy Castaway. Stay for the very end for a detailed, inside baseball chat about Pekoe remaining in Early Access. While I have been a part of several different podcasts for a few years, none of those have been around since 2020. So please bear with me on getting my recording setup & audio settings more locked in. Things will never be perfect but hopefully as I get more into the swing of things, they'll steadily improve. Give Capy Castaway a wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2890240/Capy_Castaway/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2890240/Capy_Castaway/] Checkout Pekoe in early access: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1626350/Pekoe/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1626350/Pekoe/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1626350/Pekoe/https://store.steampowered.com/app/1626350/Pekoe/] And keep up with Kitten Cup Studio: https://kittencupstudio.com/ [https://kittencupstudio.com/] This is a public episode.
