Episode Description
Gareth Damien Martin (They/Them) is an award-winning writer, designer and artist. Their first game, In Other Waters won the Jury Prix at IndieCade Europe.
Most recently, they’ve released the critically acclaimed role playing game Citizen Sleeper which places players in the role of an escape worker on a lawless space station on the edge of interstellar society and explores themes around capitalism, gig work, precarity, and more.
We talk to Gareth about the genesis of Citizen Sleeper, the cyberpunk influences that inspired the game, how their own personal experiences with gig work helped shaped the game, and so much more.
