Kate Olguin champions humor in games and learning from your mistakes
It’s episode 10 of Kritiqal Care and on this episode I talk to the delightful 3D artist and game designer Kate Olguin (all/any pronouns). Kate has worked on games such as Friend Sighting (Gungus, Wungus, & Jimmy, 2020) and joins me to discuss her upcoming project, Call of Karen (Trumbus Games, 2020), why games culture is so humorless, and the stigma around game design students.
You can follow Kate on Twitter @DragonDirigible and check out her work at kateolguin.com. You can also join the mailing list for Call of Karen at callofkaren.com which I highly recommend doing as it looks like a joy.
