Hey, Leo here! Back in March, you lovely patrons flew me out to spend a weekend with my best friend of ten years Cobysoft Joe (and my partner for the industry redefining gaming news show Games Are Dumb And For Kids) as he showed his upcoming game Dome-King Cabbage at Day of the Devs and at SF MoMa. This was during the same time as GDC, you might remember seeing both of us in the GDC travelogue. It was one of the best weekends of my life and I have put a lot of time into giving it the edit I think it deserves.

Joe hasn't had a huge presence on MinnMax (just this stream from 2020 of him walking through his animation process) despite his huge presence in my life, so I hope this helps you get to know him and love him like I do! He's such a talented artist and incredible person to know, and he had so much to share about the complex emotions of putting your heart into your work and watching people dissect it in real time. Went in hoping for a strong sense of that developer perspective and that's precisely what I got.

I could never thank you folks enough for the support that allowed me to do this, I really hope you get something out of it. Take care! Keep supporting indie devs! Oh, and you're welcome to wishlist Dome-King Cabbage on Steam.

Hey everyone, Leo here! I hope you enjoy this chance to better know my best friend Joe ( https://x.com/cobysoftco ), who I collaborated with all those years ago for the seminal gaming news show Games Are Dumb And For Kids (https://www.youtube.com/gadafk) back when we were killing time at our restaurant job spitballing nonsense ideas. It was a joy to crystallize how far we've come with this video. Thanks to all our patrons for the support that made this trip possible.
