    Packed With Care (Part 1) Jan 13, 2023
    Show notes

    Hannah and Evan talk about the increasingly complicated logistics of packing and shipping games as small creators.


    In this episode, we talk all about packing and shipping. Where do you get bubble wrap when you need more than a roll, but less than a warehouse's-worth? What happens when a printer you've worked with for years really messes up, with no chance to fix it? All this and more in part 1, with part 2 to come.

    Imperfect Inspiration Jul 21, 2022
    Show notes

    Perfect media is untouchable. Hannah and Evan talk about looking to flawed, goofy, broken movies and books for creative inspiration, instead of looking to our favorites.
