Welcome to the very first episode of the podcast! In this episode I chat with my very good friend and champion of change Jennifer Estaris. We discuss games as a climate solution, her path into the industry, the freedom of failure, the power of the human spirit and what ‘good’ means to her. Rounded out with tangents, jokes and random ramblings. Come join us. About Jennifer: Jennifer is a game director and climate activist. At ustwo games she directed Monument Valley 2’s The Lost Forest, which petitions for forest conservation, and is game directing the next Monument Valley. She has over 20 years experience in game design, at SYBO, Nickelodeon, Disney, and social change indie studios, and speaks regularly about social impact in games.
