Episode 21: MadameBerry

Ex-game dev MadameBerry (she/her) joins me to talk creative burnout and becoming a Twitch painter. Having begun as an indie dev with games like Fragile Soft Machines and Visual Out, MadameBerry has since left games and is now pursuing live painting on Twitch, along with and helping others overcome their creative blocks. We dive into a lot of things surrounding creativity as a deliberate act and the nature of online audiences, then close out with a surprise album by Joey Batey of Netflix’s The Witcher fame. You can catch MadameBerry’s streams Wednesdays and Saturdays on Twitch, follow her on Twitter @MadameBerry, and find all of her work on her official site.
