    Ep. 27 || How Nodnin Studios Made a Video Game

    I had the chance to sit down and chat with Nodnin Studios, made up of a large team of passionate video game developers and artists building a world of their very own. It was great to learn about how video games are developed and the number of hours and passions that go into them! Go support them on Kickstarter and if that ends check out their Patreon!
