Lovely to meet you Gina! Thanks so much, I'll definitely take a listen!

Also: hi! Amazing to meet you! I loved the PMA demo and vibe, that's awesome! I'll definitely listen to your stuff and be in touch :)

Oh yay! Yeah, it was so great to work with Sugimori, but it was so late in the process that there was almost zero time for iteration. But at the same time, the whole vibe of the game only came together when the music did. So this time, I want to start that process from day one.

Oh Luke, of COURSE you've done something amazingly helpful like this, like you always do. You're a diamond! Thank you!

Oh amazing! I've seen you host a panel at BAFTA before, but I've let my membership lapse so I haven't been able to go to the socials for a long time 😅

I'll definitely take a listen to your samples! ❤️

Thanks so much! I'll definitely take a listen and add you to my list :)

(sorry about the UK requirement - due to possible funding rules. Would still love to hear from you if you're not UK based in case that doesn't pan out!)

thanks so much!

I think there might be a rights issue with that 😅

I quite like "Think Like a Game Designer" because a) it's relatively short and doesn't fuck around, and b) there's an audiobook.

You'd have to get through the utterly confounding first hour, which is abysmally tutorialled, but if you break through... doom awaits. "Just one more race!!!"

Also -- that person makes it very clear that they've never put their heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears into a project that they've cared deeply about. Creating at that scale, at that length, is all-consuming. You don't just STOP, you grieve. Even if it goes well, you grieve when it's over! Ugh.
