This week is all about developing games! We are joined by Ashley, who is making a cool JRPG Roguelike called Last Gasp and Bibulous who is making his third Sky Ballet game. You can play His first two on Itch! Of course you can play Bluzo's first games as well, Along an Extremity and Hana's Light which were made with collaborators. The full credits for each are on the itch pages. Also keep an eye out for her work with Broken Rotten!
Please make sure you get your Top 5 for the year in! You can email us at hi@twcr-radio.online or DM it to us in Discord!
