Release the Kraken - With Orvar Halldorsson!

This week, Jess sits down with Minecraft creative lead and DigiPen senior lecturer Orvar Halldorsson! They chat about taking gaming classes at 3AM, rotoscoping Liam Neeson's beard, and how Orvar's team enables Minecraft players to craft their own experiences. Then they play a Stupid Little Game about *totally* real Minecraft mods. Shout out to Butter Dog! Thanks so much for listening! Please consider leaving us a review on Apple or Spotify. It really helps out. Special thanks to today's sponsor: Bean Sidhe: the new narrative walking sim from Sealbee Games. Available now as pay-what-you-want on Itch.io with all proceeds going to trans and Palestinian mutual aid.  _____________________ Stupid Little Games is a podcast all about gaming from the inside out! Each week, I (Jess Pardue) sit down with an insider from various parts of the gaming industry, from indie to AAA. We talk about our current gaming obsessions, tell stories from projects past and present, and then play a Stupid Little Game I write especially for each guest.
