“Tasty Tasty Complexity” - The Adrián Mejía Interview

This week! Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined by lead producer of Koboa and new game Beasts - Adrián Mejía! Adrián shares how a childhood trip to Brazil and the moment he first saw Super Mario Bros. 3 ignited his love of imaginative worlds, later deepened by discovering the TTRPG Nephilim. He dives into the South American inspirations that shaped Koboa, the careful research and cultural grounding behind its lore, and the determination to challenge stereotypes by creating a space where South American players feel truly welcome. We also explore his new game Beasts, which made Jeremy’s teenage heart grow three sizes. Expect themes of dehumanisation, the weight of an unwinnable war, what remains of you afterward, and a clear thread of Animorphs-style intensity. The episode wraps with Adrián’s Tale From The Table, plus a little insight into future episodes...Adrián will be returning to run Beasts, so stay tuned, Halflings!
