This episode of Making Games Is Fun is with Ho-Yee Li.

Ho-Yee is a producer at Mediatonic, and has just released their first game, Murder By Numbers.

We talk about how it feels to be, at the time of recording, on the cusp of releasing a videogame. We also chat about extracurricular activities, such as Ho-Yee’s contributions to the upcoming Animal Crossing podcast, Asstown (the name will be explained). We also talk about growing up with social gaming and arcades, and how we try to replicate that in modern times.

We also get into Ho-yee's route into the industry and how difficult it was to find a way in, as well as explore the ever-expanding breadth of roles available to people in the industry.

Finally, we chat about the amazing, now-released picross / murder mystery / visual novel crazy hybrid that is Murder By Numbers.
