We speak to the creator of Terracotta and the upcoming Surf Club, independent game developer and artist Olivia Haines, about her practice and digital art.

The discussion with ACMI's videogames curator Arieh Offman will explore the influences and inspiration behind Haines' instantly recognisable aesthetic, her love of anime and JRPG, her journey as an independent game developer and the potential for the medium of videogames to tell personal and moving stories.
