Xalavier Nelson, Jr.
In the early 90s, there was this show on ABC called Phenom about a tennis prodigy. If Hollywood were to reboot that for the digital age, Xalavier Nelson Jr. would no doubt be the star of the show. His body of work rivals those of people in the gaming industry for decades!\n\nWe kicked off our conversation talking about his studio, Strange Scaffold, and he spoke about several of the games he\u2019s either worked on or created, including An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs and the popular 90s Internet nostalgia title Hypnospace Outlaw. Xalavier also talked about his newest game, Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator, and he shared how his work as a pre-teen game journalist helped him become a narrative designer. Xalavier\u2019s prudent vision for finding better, faster, cheaper and healthier ways to make video games is so important, and I think that if he\u2019s making waves like this now, just imagine what he\u2019ll do in the future!
