    S1 Ep.11 - Tremblay Island

    You can buy me a coffee here: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/carlosrios⁠ Today I got to talk to Ethan Hill, solo game developer of the game Tremblay Island. This game was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2022. It tells the story of Maple, Enoki, and Aaron Tremblay. It goes something like this: "When Maple introduced her college roommate, she didn't expect them to get married. She REALLY didn't expect them to blow their life savings on a castle, either. So, she decided it was her responsibility to talk some sense into the two. This backfires on her, BADLY, when she inexplicably gives them the idea to start their own tiny island nation."
