The game begins with "I hope this hurts" and it DOES hurt: it also provides much to dig into regarding the capacity for harm and "taking responsibility"

In an frank discussion about the highs and lows of game development, Episode 4 of Devs Down the Line looks at Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 3.
Being told nobody cares about match 3, technical debt, a 24hr pivot, the "pain box" and is any of this healthy?
We get INTO IT!
