Wow Robert, what a lovely read. This reminded me of games journalism of old, full of soul and whimsy.

Congratulations! πππ You're brilliant.
Not at GDC this year, but hereβs a couple scraps of free advice on networking for new folks:

Would love to get another medieval game from you. Pentiment was such a joy to play.
Classic
Truly the best! Well Montreal bagels are the best bagel, Fairmont are the best Montreal bagel (St. V is very close second).
Can spot a Montreal bagel from across the Atlantic. Oh how my heart yearns for a Fairmont bagel at 5am.
Yeah, it makes me puke.
Firewatch is a special one. I hope we'll get something like it again one day or something else from the Campo Santo crew.
That's brutal. I'm so sorry to hear that, you folks were doing great work. Truly unfair.
That's totally fair. It's my hope to one day rework the relationship systems and deepen their connection to the rest of the game.
I'm currently rereading it. It's like eating the best food. So many nourishing sentences!

Wow, this is stunning!
Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right β you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.
10 thousand words would be a pithy exploration for him. This is a man of ideas! A mind of his measure needs a certain amount of real estate to lay the truth bare.
I mean, why do actual game dev when you can write about how good you'd be at it?

When I wrote this a year ago I had no idea how bad things would get. Today, eight years after she left us, I'm trying to follow Ursula's advice: write and worry. Write and act. Worry and keep writing.

Too real. How is this so prevalent? π’
Please report back on your findings. So many AI things I'd like to block but don't know how.
All the episodes have been great! It's what finally got me to sign up to the Patreon. I've intended to join for years but catching an episode of this early was the catalyst.
Really love how you captured Tallin, it's one of my favorite places to visit.
