We're joined by special guest David Hellman who is an artist on some incredible games like Braid and Arranger! David also created this amazing tribute to Mr. Iwata that really touched our hearts. Mr. Iwata's birthday just passed and it made us think about him and miss him. Even though he's gone, Mr. Iwata's impact still matters today in gaming. It's awesome to see his spirit continue to live on. Also in this episode, we do a fun drawing challenge with David that you definitely don't want to miss. We also talk about games we're playing and there are quite a few new December games like Antonblast and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle that we've been diving into. We wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - Welcome David Hellman 9:15 - David's tribute to Mr. Iwata and what its like working as an artist on video games 51:22 - Live Luigi drawing challenge 1:06:29 - Games we are playing (Silent Hill 2, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Antonblast, Infinity Nikki) 1:30:42 - News news news 1:40:36 - Questions from our Patreon community Find David Hellman here: http://davidhellman.art/ https://twitter.com/davidhellman https://bsky.app/profile/davidhellman.bsky.social https://www.instagram.com/davidhellman/ Patreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social -Kit & Krysta
