Cave Paintings and Campfires

Jay talks with Bob Krzykowski, the writer, producer and director of The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then The Bigfoot and the creator of the Elsie Hooper comic (and short film). They talk about the movie's title, the making of the movie, and movie trailers and reviews. After the conversation, Jay talks about movie spoilers, and about how a movie isn't always what you think it's going to be based on reviews and promotional material, and how it could, in fact, be something completely different (for better or for worse).

In this first episode, Jay talks with indie game evangelist, developer, and content creator Tim Ruswick. They talk about Tim's game Philophobia: The Fear of Love, the development process, and indie game development in general. They also discuss motivation and important things to note when starting a game development project, or any creative endeavor, and how you most likely don't really have an excuse not to get started.

In this introductory episode, Jay explains a little bit about himself, what Cave Paintings and Campfires is all about, and why he wanted to start this show. He talks about creativity and storytelling and his relationship to both of these topics. He discusses videogames, how games and other stories don't necessarily need to be fun, and the importance of knowing your storytelling medium, and leveraging its strengths instead of mimicking other media. Jay also talks about future topics for the show, the types of possible guests going forward, and how each of us is a natural storyteller. Show notes: www.cavepaintingsandcampfires.com/episode0
