It’s funny that Richard III has a reputation as “England’s worst weasel” when his brother George is so obviously worse. I knew his revolt against / execution by his brother Edward but this from @mattlewishistory.bsky.social is a new one: abducting Warwick’s daughter to seize lands.

Each episode begins with me and @mattlewishistory.bsky.social chatting about an Assassin’s Creed game, & then I interview a dev or expert who worked on it- with an aim to demystify the process of developing a historical videogame, the tensions and opportunities, & the curatorial role of developers
