Episode 89: q1

q1 (he/him) is a musician, writer, and game developer who makes playful and sometimes haunted tiny games. In this short and sweet episode we discuss the curious social experience of riding the subway, the beautiful limitations of small game engines, and viewing the game creation process like writing a song.

You can learn more about q1 on his website, follow him on Bluesky @quewon.bsky.social‬‬, and play his games on itch.
