Podcast appearances and mentions of Nina Freeman

Nina Freeman is an American independent video game writer and designer. While a student at Pace University in New York, she was drawn to the work of Frank O'Hara and other poets of the New York School, who documented their lives through witty, confessional verse. She began to explore ways in which she could employ a similar tone, not in poetry, but in video games.Her 2014 game “how do you Do It?,” puts the player in the role of an awkward tween who is desperately trying to figure out how sex works while playing with dolls. The game established a tone and themes that my guest explored in her subsequent work, most famously Cibele, an adventure video game about a romance developed through an online multiplayer game.Her memoir-like approach has proven influential. The video game designer Francesca Carletto-Leon recently told the New York Times: “Her work has been hugely inspirational to me and important to the larger industry.”USEFUL LINKSNina's Instagram: @PersocomninaNina's Itch.io page: Size ZeroIncrepare's Slave of GodDiego Garcia's website Be attitude for gains. https://plus.acast.com/s/my-perfect-console.

We got the Awesome Sphere...now what are we gonna do with it? Nina Freeman joins us to discuss the centrist politics of Final Fantasy X-2, stealing uniforms to set up a heist, and how the game's portrayal of more overt sexuality is actually great worldbuilding.

Nina Freeman joins us on the podcast to discuss the process of Level Design in games as well as her foray as a partnered Twitch Streamer.

We're talking video game romances this week on Kotaku Splitscreen. First, Ashley fulfills her life-long dream of discussing the best and worst of BioWare romances. Then, the team collaborates on their dream dating sim. (It's a bit unconventional.) And finally, we're joined by game designer and Twitch streamer Nina Freeman (twitch.tv/ninamarie), designer of Cibele—a game about love, sex, and the internet. Listen to hear Nina and Fahey discuss some of their gaming romances from years past.

Nina Freeman (Video game designer ('Cibele'), formerly Fullbright games) challenged fate itself to brave each and every one of my vaunted ninety-nine questions. Join Nina and I as we discuss how she takes criticism of her deeply personal games, environmental storytelling all around you, Magic 8 balls, fresh eggs, Tootsie Rolls, and the greatest euphemism for sex ever spoken aloud.

A big part of being a game developer is being in-between big projects. Sometimes, the in-between phase isn't just a few days or months, and it can feel like you're losing steam if you're not kicking off the next big game. Regardless of the timing, there are always small things you can do to improve yourself and your work if you need/want to use that time, without instantly embarking on another years long development cycle. This talk will explore some ways Nina Freeman, an indie game designer, has dealt with these challenges personally. She'll share some ways she found to make small improvements to her career, workflow and creative momentum, without actually starting a new game project (until she was really ready!)

We talk her life long love of Final Fantasy X-2, the absurdity of playing Sims with no context, how cities make scenes, the Fullbright videogame mixtape, how to quit Final Fantasy Online for real this time and why videogames (mostly) suck at sex.

How do you open your game with a bang, hold the player's attention through hours of gameplay, and wrap things up in a way that feels satisfying and complete? We sure the heck don't know, but special guest Nina Freeman (Cibele, Tacoma, how do you Do it?) does! In this episode, we discuss game introductions, how difficulty progression and story can both drive player engagement, the value of vignette-style storytelling, the way that sports tell stories, and whether games even need endings, plus lots more incisive and indecisive discussion about your favorite games!

Despite a variety of exciting sonic interruptions, Steve and Nina soldier on to talk through her work a s Nuovo Award-winning indie game designer of titles like how do you Do It?, Cibele, and Lost Memories Dot Net, and her experience becoming a level designer on Tacoma at Fullbright.

Josh, Ruben, and Sarah perform a hat trick by all playing games with a female lead. Ruben chills with his robo-pals in Horizon: Zero Dawn. Josh gets chills from the voices in his head during Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. Sarah is decidedly unchill during the jaw-clenching, finger-swiping combat in Severed. Other honorable mentions include NieR: Automata and Nex Machina. We goofed and couldn't play the FGOTW this time, but we WILL play Lost Memories Dot Net by Nina Freeman and Aaron Freedman for next time. We also binge Avatar the Last Airbender, Game of Thrones, and the graphic novel Montress in this week's Out of Bounds. Music: "Intro" by Slime Girls, "The Runaway" by Kronstudios

On this week's episode, Nina Freeman, a level designer at The Fullbright Company and the creator of Cibele, joins host Josiah Renaudin to talk about creating indie games both big and small. Nina details her work with Fullbright, how the team made major changes to Tacoma deep into development, the differences between working with a team and doing smaller, more personal projects, what games she's jealous of, and how she deals with game reviews.

This week, our experiment focuses on Nina Freeman, lead designer of Cibele. In addition to exploring the nature of intimacy in video games, we learn how to hate ourselves for playing MMOs, that we're too old for Undertale, and that if I ever want to make Spencer quit caring, I should just bring up sales reports.[MP3 AUDIO]Nina on TwitterCibelePlease help support my Patreon!Try out Loot Crate and support the show!My latest Unboxing video[LINK] Steam estimated to have brought in $4 billion in revenue.[LINK] Why 2016 will be the year of esports[VIDEO] Smite releases a new cinematic trailer[LINK] Undertale is tearing Gamefaqs apartFor a video of this episode go to: https://youtu.be/WpPvhb6un4c

“Here comes the real Yuna!” Contrary to what I say in tonight’s episode of My Favourite Game, this is not the first time in two years we’ve had a Final Fantasy on. What I meant to say was it’s the first time in two years we have a different Final Fantasy game on that isn’t […]

Game designer Nina Freeman joins Miranda, Mike, Meghan and Kallie to talk about the magical girl genre. What qualifies girls who use magic as magical girls? Which have the best familiars? And, most importantly, what can we learn from the great shows in this genre? Remember, Homura did nothing wrong. Anime mentioned in this week's episode:   Sailor Moon Digimon Adventure Tri She and Her Cat Only Yesterday The Boy and the Beast Psycho-Pass: The Movie Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad Nana Erased Peach Girl Lovely Complex Robot Carnival Perfect Blue Kamisama Kiss Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories Wakakozake Oruchuban Ebichu Hamtaro Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World Princess Tutu Revolutionary Girl Utena Puella Magi Madoka Magica Himouto! Umaru-chan Cardcaptor Sakura Magic Knight Rayearth Fairy Tail Tokyo Mew Mew Sailor Moon Crystal Shirobako  

This week's episode looks at the game Cibele and Bogost's term: empathy. Cibele, like many of Nina Freeman's other games, is orientated towards the female player. Because of this, we thought it would be interesting to see how male and female players react to the game and how empathy plays a part in these reactions. Included are an interview with a male and our personal opinions of the game, as well as an analysis of empathy.

Cibele is Nina Freeman's autobiographical look at a first experience of love in an online space.   So, it seems somewhat fitting on the day after Valentine's Day for the Moving Pixels podcast to consider what we can learn about romance and courtship through a video game.

Laura and Raygan discuss Cibele by Nina Freeman and Star Maid Games. Autobiographical and naturalistic to a fault, Cibele tells the story of game designer Nina's first romance (?) with a boy she meets in...

Matt and David play Cibele, an autobiographical internet love story by Nina Freeman.

Game Designer Nina Freeman explains how Star Maid Games' Cibele uses a virtual desktop and a faux-MMO to tell a story about the complicated (and sometimes hasty) relationships of the internet generation.

In this episode, Adam Saltsman interviews indie game developer Nina Freeman, who is best known for her personal vignette games How Do You Do It?, Freshman Year, and the upcoming Cibele. She is currently working at Fullbright as a level designer on the upcoming game Tacoma. They discuss why all VR games are about sitting in chairs, how a background in poetry influences her work, and how to write about your own personal flaws in a game.

In this episode we speak to Nina Freeman about how she got started in game development, talk about her process and team for making games, and her recent move to Portland to work with Fullbright on their upcoming game Tacoma.
