Happy Tuesday and welcome to today's AMA with @Len [he/they], who have generously agreed to spend the next hour with us answering questions about their experience at Kitten Cup Studio, their current open 2D Character Artist role, and their ultimate tea-making tricks.
<aside> 👋 Len, thank you for being here and sharing your insights with the Work With Indies community!

<aside> 😻 Hello folks! I am Len, the community manager for Kitten Cup Studio. We're a Toronto-based studio currently working on our first game Pekoe, a game about hanging out with cats in a village all about making tea. You'll be hanging out with residents and making tea for them as well as guests who come to the town.

<aside> 🍵 Tea sounds so good right now.
</aside>
<aside> 🍵 Let me go ahead and share the beautiful trailer for Pekoe.
</aside>
<aside> 😻 Len: Working on Pekoe has been really interesting as I have always been more of a coffee person and it's making me explore tea more.
</aside>
<aside> 🍵 Have you acquired a favorite tea? - Katherine
</aside>
<aside> 😻 Len: Genmaicha! It has more roasty/popcorn flavour that is a bit.... less delicate? than lots of teas which I feel has been a nice transition tea.
</aside>
<aside> 🍵 With you being more of a coffee person, what was the inspiration behind creating a game about cozy vibes, tea, and cats? - Katherine
</aside>
<aside> 😻 Len: The idea for Pekoe came from our Art Director Saffron, who was very tired after working on too many projects and made herself a cup of tea, then though "What if cup of tea.... but game???"

<aside> 🍵 Interested in applying, but I don't live in Ontario. should I still send an application? (I am in the US) - Color
