Podcast appearances and mentions of alex zandra

This week, Alex Zandra, aka Zandravandra, joins TW on the show to talk about the very first games she made as a teenager in the 90s, The Quantum Blade 1 and 2! These games were featured in Kusogrande 6, but they were very much worth talking about more because they are an absolute CELEBRATION of mid-90s indie games. So we get into talking the design ideas behind the game, the joy of starting and finishing a passion project regardless of quality, learning from mistakes, Final Fantasy MIDIs, and the state of the internet in the mid-90s (shoutouts to FFGaming, TW's long-dead Final Fantasy fansite with information that was just straight-up incorrect). Also Elden Ring. Thanks to Zandra for being on the show and sharing in the love of these and her other creations!
