Julien Ribassin is the Founder of Dejima Games. He is the Lead Developer on Firegirl: Hack 'n Splash Rescue DX (2021), currently available on PC, Switch, Playstation, and Xbox. I have featured 3 other individuals involved in the development of Firegirl here on IGI. Gabe Miller (Lead Artist), Philippe Wyart (composer), and Aubrey Serr (additional artist) have all been featured previously. I love Firegirl. It is one of my favorite games of 2021.

In this episode we will discuss why is Firegirl a roguelite and not a roguelike?, why it’s important not to fall in love with your ideas, acquiring a publisher, procedural generation, the benefits of collaborators in opposite time zones, rereleasing a game, and much more.
