Hold onto your hats! This week's Pixel Pizza features a convo with Ubisoft Massive lead writer & narrative designer Aoife O'Friel. Aoife has helped bring Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora to life, and she tells us about the lore and research that goes into making those worlds as immersive as possible. And our music this week comes from Nicky Spacebum!

Is it cold in here? Maybe because there was no episode last week due to vacation, or maybe because this week we've got the Frostman himself, Digital Eclipse's Head of Production Stephen Frost! You might know Digital Eclipse for their in-depth collections of the Street Fighter and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games, or their interactive documentary Gold Master series. We discuss all of those and everything else Stephen has tackled and learned in his 20+ years in the industry. Music from Chosen Realm!
