Ep. #225 - Simon The Sorcerer Origins with STS' Art Department

The classic point-and-click adventure from the UK is back again, this time coming from Italy's Smallthing Studios and published by Inin as a prequel setting you out to an adventure before the events of Simon The Sorcerer of 1993, and we had the pleasure to welcome back the people behind this creation, this time in the flesh of the whole art department responsible for the game, named Fabrizio Rizzo, Georgio Maioli, Giulia Valentini and Federica Fringuellini. The interview starts at minute 34:21
