Episode 11: Jay Tholen

On episode 11 of Kritiqal Care, I was delighted to get to talk to Jay Tholen (he/him) the developer of one of my all time favorite games, Dropsy (2015). Jay is an indie game dev now based in Germany, who last year released the faux-internet moderation game Hypnospace Outlaw (2019). He joins me to discuss Dropsy’s storied history from boss-sprite to unlikely video game hero, how the internet has evolved (arguably for the worse), and how very good it is to have a dog right now.

You can follow Jay on Twitter @jaytholen, and play Dropsy and Hypnospace Outlaw on Steam.
