Episode 20: Designing games with Asian themes ft. Banana Chan
In Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall, players take on the roles of a Chinese family running a restaurant in 1920s San Francisco. They must go through the challenges of running a restaurant and keeping the family morale up, while dealing with customers giving them a hard time. Night time holds another set of challenges — jiangshi (hopping vampires) come out and roam the streets in search of victims. This was streamed live at twitch.tv/aznsrep!
