The digital boardgame ARMELLO was how Melbourne’s League of Geeks made their name but seven years since that ground breaking indie game was released the studio this year will be sharing not one but two new games.

Kelsey Gamble is the Publishing Producer and has a hand in both the scifi anime colony sim JUMPLIGHT ODYSSEY and the hellish political game SOLIUM INFERNUM.

Listen to find out how the team is able to produce both games, how the games are progressing and what you can look forward to when you get your hands on these titles.
