We talk about spoken vs written comedy, being funny "for a girl", comic devices we love, what makes a game funny, and being funny in a team.
It also features @darmato.bsky.social spontaneously reading in a Monkey Island scene with Alasdair, which was rather magical!

TR-49 is our best launch, ever, in 14 years.
I admit I'm surprised! Made in 9 months, mostly as an experiment to learn Godot, and an excuse to play with some actors. (And for me to do some acting.)
One thing I think IS cool: it's a "one-sitting" game. 4 hours; $7. No commitment required.
