It\u2019s no secret that I\u2019m a big fan of video games, so when I learned about Derrick Fields and Waking Oni Games from the Wholesome Direct Indie Game Showcase back in June, I had to have him on the show.\n\nWe talked about how 2021 has been going so far \u2014 a new gig and a new baby! \u2014 and he spoke on why he created his own gaming studio and gave some history behind the studio\u2019s first title: Onsen Master. Derrick also shared his inspiration behind getting into game programming, the indie gaming scene for underrepresented designers, and he gave some great advice for anyone looking to start making their own titles. If there\u2019s a video game out there that you would love to see, hopefully Derrick\u2019s story will inspire you to create it!
