Welcome to a special bonus episode of Character Creation Spotlight! For this episode, we sit down with Andrew Gillis, designer of the game we'll be shining a light on today, Girl by Moonlight, a Magical Girl game about exploring the heartbreak of denying who you really are, fighting for what you believe in, and the transcendent power of building relationships while embracing your true self. This game is funding on Backerkit right now, so check it out after you hear all about it and hear about our amazing group we created this episode!
