Intimates: We talk to Wren Brier and Tim Dawson of Witchbeam Games about their game: Unpacking!

Uncategorized

Checkpoint Intimates is a podcast where members of the team go one-on-one on a topic that they both feel strongly about, and sometimes conduct interviews with industry insiders and game developers!

In this episode, Elliot and Pedro talk to Wren Brier and Tim Dawson of Witchbeam Games, a Brisbane based studio who will very soon be releasing their upcoming game Unpacking. Many folks may have already played the demo on steam, or heard about it at PAX 2019 where it was much loved with attendees. We talk to them about the origins of the game and what lead them to create an interesting simulator like this one.

 

Giving a 1-UP to diversity in gaming.
