Episode 9: Elaine Gómez

On the last of the single digit episodes of Kritiqal Care, designer and community activist Elaine Gómez (she/her) joins me to discuss E-Line Media’s upcoming BBC partnership Beyond Blue, which adapts the Blue Planet documentary series into an underwater adventure game. She also touches on the challenge of working on personal projects while at a full-time position, gives some updates on her independent game Cooking with Abuelita, and discusses how Latinx in Gaming is adapting its work during the Covid-19 pandemic. Finally, she helps me pick out a plant neither myself nor my cat is likely to kill.

You can follow Elaine on Twitter @chulatastic, find out more about Latinx in Gaming @LatinosinGaming, and keep up with Beyond Blue on its official site.

Elaine’s Good Thing to Share
Collecting Plants - her current favorite is the Calathea Musaica Network, but for beginners she recommends a Snake Plant or a ZZ Plant
