Taking a look at small-town Ontario-inspired Rollergirl [SyrupArcade Cast 4]
Description
On this episode of the SyrupArcade Cast, Brad Shankar and Dean Daley speak to Indigo Doyle, game designer and the creative lead at Toronto-based Pushing Vertices on Rollergirl. Rollergirl is based on the life of Doyle, a Black woman who grew up in Belleville, Ontario. In the game, you roll around town on rollerblades exploring the neighbourhood as Naomi, a Black 17-year-old doing odd jobs to afford to fix her first car.
During the podcast, we ask Doyle about her journey as a game developer and discus representation and diversity. Given it's Black History Month, we felt it was important to highlight the difficulties Black people face when breaking into the gaming industry.
