Description
<p>Nina Freeman is an American independent video game writer and designer. While a student at <strong>Pace University</strong> in New York, she was drawn to the work of <strong>Frank O’Hara</strong> and other poets of the New York School, who documented their lives through witty, confessional verse. She began to explore ways in which she could employ a similar tone, not in poetry, but in video games.</p><br><p>Her 2014 game “<strong>how do you Do It?</strong>,” puts the player in the role of an awkward tween who is desperately trying to figure out how sex works while playing with dolls. The game established a tone and themes that my guest explored in her subsequent work, most famously <strong>Cibele</strong>, an adventure video game about a romance developed through an online multiplayer game.</p><br><p>Her memoir-like approach has proven influential. The video game designer Francesca Carletto-Leon recently told the <strong>New York Times</strong>: “Her work has been hugely inspirational to me and important to the larger industry.”</p><br><p><strong>USEFUL LINKS</strong></p><br><p>Nina's Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/PersocomNina/?hl=en-gb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Persocomnina</a></p><p>Nina's <a href="https://itch.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Itch.io</a> page: <a href="https://starmaidgames.itch.io/sizezero" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Size Zero</a></p><p>Increpare's <a href="https://www.increpare.com/2012/12/slave-of-god/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Slave of God</a></p><p>Diego Garcia's <a href="https://radstronomical.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a></p> <p>Be attitude for gains. <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console">https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console</a>.</p>
