Please enjoy this interview that pmc did with Adelaide Jenkins, the game director of Phantom Brigade, a mech PC game that had its v1.0 launch on Steam at the end of this past February. Adelaide had a lot of excellent things to say about her own experience with mechs as well as how Phantom Brigade is influenced and inspired by other mech media.
