Lily Valeen and the final boss of mobile games

Lily Valeen (she/they) is a game designer, writer, and artist who recently released BOSSGAME: The Final Boss is My Heart, a mobile action game about lesbian devil hunters. She joined me on the show to dive into BOSSGAME's development, the frustrating preconceptions around mobile games, and writing queer romance. Later on, we encourage you to befriend your cool mutuals.

You can follow Lily on Twitter @ItsMeLilyV, and play her games on iOS, Android, and itch.
