CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains discussions of trauma, abuse, and mental health.

Rina Purdy hitchhiked her way to PAX South 2019 to showcase her game, Floating Wonderland. A nomad partially by necessity, she found her way from Vancouver, BC to San Antonio, TX then flew to Spain almost directly after. Bubbly and good-natured, she’s kept working on her game even while dealing with homelessness and more.

During the interview, we talk about her life, her game, and her dream of making a dev studio out of a double-decker bus in London. We also talk about some of the resiliency she’s cultivated over the years, and the ways her struggles help her overcome adversity...including some that comes up directly during the interview.
