New week, new guest! This time we're chatting with talented voice actor Alana Marie Cheuvront, who's appeared in hit games like Observer: System Redux and Trials of Mana. As a fellow voice actor it was a real treat to talk with her about getting into character and giving honest performances. Enjoy the discussion and the music courtesy of KELChip!

This week we have not one, but TWO guests joining us to talk about their games! Denny McCorry and Lesther Reynoso run the indie gaming outfit Possum House Games, where they make pixelated projects of all kinds, from shepherd sim Heavy is the Crown to the upcoming shooter TankPig. It was especially cool hearing both an artistic and technical perspective! Plus great music from another upstate NY native, HangOnGetReady!

This week, I had a really great chat with Kathryn DeFeo, artist at WayForward! She's the first person so far on the show who I haven't known prior, but even so we had an awesome conversation about her journey in games, getting into the gaming scene in Rochester, the challenges of working on games for kids, and even how dreams impact her art design! And, of course, some sick musical interludes courtesy of Defense Mechanism!

Here we are, back again for episode 2! This week on Pixel Pizza, I'm joined by an old grad school friend of mine, Naomi Burgess. We reminisce on our time creating interactive experiences at Carnegie Mellon, and discuss her time since developing VR educational tools in Switzerland with the University of Lucerne, as well as her current gig in Sacramento as a Gameplay Engineer for Exploding Kittens! Lots of fun talk here, combo-ed with fun music from Remute!
