Show Notes
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. Hosted on Acast.
