I got the amazing opportunity to interview Tanat Boozayaangool, the lead developer of Building Relationships — the dating sim where you play as a house who dates… other buildings?!
Tanat gives a clever and hilarious window into his thought process behind this wacky and adorable video game, including the reasons it’s so queer at its very core and what to expect from the full game when it launches this year.
In the first half of the episode, it’s just me as a I cover a bunch of headlines: The Last of Us Part II Remastered got an exciting update, Ghost of Yotei had a PlayStation State of Play, Gayming Mag hosted their annual Gayming Awards, Nintendo is sadly ending their Game Voucher program, and there was even a followup on the #StopKillingGames petition.
