​​To celebrate Black History Month, RPadTV spotlights Afrime Studios, the creative force behind the upcoming game Unyverse. Company founders Crandon Dillard and Erik Reynolds join the show to discuss how a chance meeting led to the creation of a majority Black-owned game studio and their vision of Afro-futurism that permeates Unyverse.

In this interview, we dive deep into the challenges of launching an indie studio, the rich lore and story behind Unyverse, and the founders' dreams for Afrime Studios.

Topics Discussed:
✅ How a chance Uber ride led to the formation of Afrime Studios.
✅ Navigating the industry as a majority Black-owned business.
✅ Unyverse gameplay details and Afro-futurist concepts.
✅ What Unyverse’s character creator means for African and African-American gamers and developers.
✅ What’s next for Afrime Studios.

RPadTV host Raymond Padilla was thrilled to have this conversation with Crandon Dillard and Erik Reynolds for a few reasons. Firstly, it was fantastic chatting about a game focused on Afro-furism for Black History Month. Secondly, while he’s known Erik for decades, this was his first time meeting Crandon and he was incredibly happy to meet a person he’s been hearing stories about for years. Lastly, Erik is a big Tottenham Hotspur fan and Spurs have been having a wretched season; hopefully this chat made him feel better about his garbage team.
