Episode 37: prophet goddess

Cassandra Lugo (they/them) creates compact procedural games under the name prophet goddess. Their work explores the unique abilities of generative content, the lack of win conditions, and glitchy digital aesthetics. We discuss the origins of their interest in procedural generation, the frequent pitfalls with how it is utilized, and the sorts of games prophet goddess wants to see more of. In the close, we remember that it’s never a bad time to listen to Prince.

You can follow prophet goddess on Twitter @prophet_goddess, play their games on itch, and catch their streams on Twitch and trash.cloud.
