My guest will be Matt Fantastic. Matt primarily does freelance game design and development for publishers around the world as the creative director of Forever Stoked, the creative studio he founded over a decade ago. He also owns a game shop/library (Elm City Games), is sometimes an adjunct instructor of game design, publishes indie games, books, zines, vinyl records, and other creative weirdness with killjoy and Prettiest Princess, is a Creative Director at Vice Games, founded the New Haven Game Makers Guild, organizes Fantasticon, and does consulting/fixing across the game industry as well as for corporate clients like Netflix and Yale. Growing up in a house of gamers, educators, artists, and community organizers along with an adolescence filled with basement shows and political protests, Matt’s professional life is rooted in collectivism, art, nerdery, social justice, and DIY punk rock.
