Nathan & Mason: Exploring Social Anxiety Through Games - Indie Diary #82
Episode 22
Monday, 17 November, 2025

In this episode, I spent a lovely hour with Nathan & Mason, two longtime friends and co-developers of Hermit and Pig, a story-rich, turn-based RPG about mushrooms and... social anxiety, among other things! Nathan & Mason have really mastered the concept of pouring all of yourself into your creations, and their passion for the game they're making comes through in every second of the episode. Enjoy! 🎒💛-------Support Nathan & Mason (Heavy Lunch Studio) 🎒💛Steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/2408350/Hermit_and_Pig/BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/heavylunchco.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/uJ2GtYKESYInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/heavylunchco/?hl=enTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@heavylunchcoYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@HeavyLunchStudioWebsite and Newsletter - https://hermitandpig.com/---------Support the show 🎒💛Join the community: https://discord.com/invite/J84aPfSSvjBecome a Patron: https://patreon.com/theindiediaristYouTube: https://youtube.com/@TheIndieDiaristTwitch: https://twitch.tv/theindiediarist⁠TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@theindiediaristThreads: https://threads.net/@theindiediaristTwitter: https://twitter.com/theindiediarist⁠
