This month we sat down with Game Director and Co-Founder Oli Clarke Smith, Technical Director and Co-Founder Phil Crabtree and Art Director Rachel Noy from Kaizen Game Works to discuss their latest video game, Promise Mascot Agency.

We go into the game's origins, how the team found designing an open-world game, the struggle to not overbear a player, the collectables, how the van was implemented and much more! 

A huge thank you goes out to Oli, Phil and Rachel for taking time out to talk to me but also for being as open as they were.
