28 - Timothy Staton-Davis of Melanated Game Kitchen

Melanated Game Kitchen is a co-op studio and collective of BIPOC game creators focused on the creation and curation of unique interactive experiences revolving around culture. Fittingly, they run a game jam series called "Culture Bytes.” Every quarter they host the jam, and the theme of each jam is something that is relevant to members of the connected diasporas they represent. It’s an honor to have Creative Director Timothy Staton-Davis on the show today to discuss MGK’s mission, goals, and outlook on games and the folks that create them.Join MGK or Inquire About Business Opportunities! https://mgamekitchen.notion.site/About-Us-Services-27fdf32a14aa801fbb9ad48b56701270MGK on Itch! https://melanatedgamekitchen.itch.io/ MGK Newsletter! https://itch.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=b4ca6cd4e18b897a9b55ffd37&id=1c86b86412Tim's personal site: https://beacons.ai/timstatis MGK on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dh46nqnxce2azkpmkcgozyda MGK on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOB_265ZPEAHwLJglYNiZGgClock Out at 2 on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3235690/Clock_Out_at_2/ (produced by Borderless Studios, a studio that got started at the Game Kitchen and is part of their collective)More games from MGK to check out!!
