Darkest Dungeon as a series grew out of one central and refreshing idea: "Being an adventurer is a shit line of work." What if all those horrors and killing your adventurers saw took its toll on them? What if they became stressed out and developed afflictions - both mental and physical - because of it? In this episode of One-to-One, we hear from Darkest Dungeon co-creators Tyler Sigman and Chris Bourassa about the creation of the series and the ideas behind it, and about their decision to make a sequel that is - at the time of recording - days away from being released.

In episode 02, we sit down with Benjamin Johnson, or Mr. Benja as he's known online, who is a designer and creative living in SoCal best known for being the lead designer on Rockstar Games Presents: Table Tennis and being a prominent open-world scripter for Red Dead Redemption. Early on, he was introduced to the arts, but when he came across video games, he quickly decided to make game development his focus. Benja obtained degrees in Information Systems and Software Engineering from Florida A&M University and Michigan State University, respectively. From there he went on to create and design video games for companies such as Sony Santa Monica, 3DO, WowWee, and, of course, Rockstar Games San Diego. Afterward, he turned his focus away from the corporate and has since moved into creative ventures including podcasting, gallery curation, and a fine arts project called The 8Bit Cubist. And as he explains, “Life Imitates Game.” ----more---- Chapters: (0:00) Who is Mr. Benja? (01:01) Intro Theme (01:27) Are Games Art?
