This is the Gameries with Jobs Conference call for Wednesday, July 5th,

2023. I'm your host, Amanda Nolton,

and today our show is about character creation and joining me to talk about that topic and so much

more. In the second chair, I've got Erin Ann Madola. Thank you again for joining us. Welcome.

Of course. Thank you for having me. It's a pleasure to be here.

Yay. Also joining us, I've got Andrew Beck, our editor-in-chief. Welcome.

I am glad to be here. I am all decked out in what is probably the best Father's Day gift.

My kids know me. They bought me a Zelda Tears of the Kingdom t-shirt.

Yes. Wow. Oh, okay. Amazing. Now I feel bad for telling everybody to turn their cameras off.

But, um... Yeah, right? So, uh, recording locally, I'm traveling. So, um, things are a little bit

different. If there's any background noises, apologies for the sound.

But thank you all for joining us.

So as I mentioned before, our topic today is character creation.

It kind of bounced off the topic of last week of RPGs.

We're going to get into that in a little bit,

but first we're going to go ahead and talk about games that we're

playing. I'm going to steal the mic here, I guess, and just go ahead and get into what I've been

playing, which is Dave the Diver. Now, you may have already heard of this one. It is currently

on the Steam Summer Sale, which is going to be going on until the 13th of July.

So you still have time as of listening to this. If you listen to this the day that it comes out to

pick it up, it's in like the $20 range. It's such a delightful game. Now, this is a pixel art

style sort of side-scroller in a sort of a fictitious bay that you as a diver have been diving in.
