Hello and welcome to episode 148 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're joined by special guest David Hellman who is an artist on some incredible games like Braid and Arranger! David also created this amazing tribute to Mr. Iwata that really touched our hearts. Mr. Iwata's birthday just passed and it made us think about him and miss him. Even though he's gone, Mr. Iwata's impact still matters today in gaming. It's awesome to see his spirit continue to live on. Also in this episode, we do a fun drawing challenge with David that you definitely don't want to miss. We also talk about games we're playing and there are quite a few new December games like Antonblast and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that we've been diving into. We wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up!
