Hello again! This is a continuation of a series of audio podcasts, featuring myself and other independent developers.
Each episode will feature different developers or projects, and the format will be more like a sprawling conversation than a formal interview. Topics covered will vary depending on the developer in question, but some of the same topics will pop up with many of the guests. I’ll also interject some of my own opinions and views into the discussion.
Why am I doing this? Personally, I’m very interested in how other developers work. What motivates them? How do they deal with criticism? What do they find meaningful about games? (if anything?) What are the stories behind the development of their projects? I hope to learn a lot, and also help spread more knowledge around.

Ohio-based artist and designer Sara Gross happens to be one of the most entertaining people to follow on twitter. Sara has worked on a ton of indie game projects, and some may never see the light of day. But recently a swath of her projects have survived the dark mires of development hell. We discuss all of these projects, as well as how Sara got into making games, her opinions on gender issues in the game industry, her advice for up-and-coming indie game artists and MORE.
