Exploring sonic galaxies of clay and twine with Claire Morwood

Claire Morwood (she/her) is an indie game developer whose work explores multimedia interactivity, handmade assets, and introspective narratives. She joined me to discuss her most recent project, Asterism, an interactive concept album about exploring the galaxy. We touch on writing music for play, how creating the game from physical objects impacted its design, and the value of a detailed dev log. Later we remember how good libraries are.

You can learn more about Claire’s games on her website and follow her on Bluesky @shimmerglitch.bsky.social.
