I was recently interviewed for the True Avatars podcast about my indie title, Three Days to Chicago, and my talk at QGCON about "attainable fantasy." Zoey Wyeld had some awesome, thoughtful questions, and we got to really dig into it.

FYI, I am on a stream break until the end of October! There will be a Book Club stream on Oct 24, but for the most part I will be offline to help take care of family.

Happy Fall!!

go play Three Days to Chicago!!

not only is it gorgeous to look at, not only does it have amazing queer representation, but it’s also super affordable! 🥰✨

Schroyer @schroyer.bsky.social · 1d

Thank you for the awesome questions and great conversation! What a pleasure it was to chat about the game.

One of them is visiting a friend in Chicago. The other wants to shake things up in New York City. It starts in San Francisco, but where this relationship goes is all up to you.

I retweeted this because I think they missed the opportunity for the sucker punchline… 🥁

I like following video game sales figures, but honestly since Nintendo never gives a full picture of their sales data, and these are usually just physical copy sales in one country, it’s really not enough to know if a game sold better than the other, if you’re someone who has an interest in that 🤷🏻‍♀️
