Join David with game designer Shawn Alexander Allen to chat about his recently released turn-based beat 'em up RPG Treachery in Beatdown City! The conversation also turns to the beat 'em up genre, how New York is depicted in games like Double Dragon, stories of racial tension, and how those stories influenced the writing in his game.
You can pick up Shawn's game now on Nintendo Switch, Steam, and itch.io.
