Polygon | The true story behind BioShock Infinite's Bread Boy @polygon | Uploaded April 2022 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
BioShock Infinite's Bread Boy went viral on Twitter in February, so we asked developer Gwen Frey to weigh in on how exactly she made this king of crumb. The reasons the Bread Boy exists in the Burial at Sea DLC point to the strange, specific problems that developers have to overcome every day. Gwen is now hard at work on a satirical puzzle game called Lab Rat, with her own studio.
