Lead Designer of Undying 'Roakana' Q&A/Interview

Audio can be a bit echo-y at times, unfortunately nothing that I could've done to solve that post production. I wasn't meant to be there to begin with so had to do an emergency setup and didn't have time to test it. Still, I didn't want the interview to go to waste, so please do enjoy. Please use YouTube subtitles. This interview was from September of 2024.
