Ep. 229: How Accessibility Can Improve Animal Crossing

This is an incredibly important episode of Haken. Sergio will be taking a break from the show for an undetermined amount of time. We see him off with a special guest, a ton of great topics, and our love. We understand his need to take time off and focus on his mental health. This week, Tumeg joins us to discuss her art for the show. From there, we get to know her a bit and her background in Animal Crossing. We talk about the new Animal Crossing icons that are available on Switch. Finally, we get into how Animal Crossing can improve through additional accessibility features. After that, we get a special message from Sergio. We close out the show by asking our patrons what they find fun about Animal Crossing.
