I would be very excited for that.

Jakub RemiarHOST
So this started scaling somewhere in, let's say,
Felix BrabergHOST
the game design question before you get into that.
Felix BrabergHOST
So if you have a match three game, it said that basically what you do is you look at time to complete levels.

Heather FlowersGUEST
So I think a lot of my game design practice these days comes from observing the general trend of what is going on in the games industry and trying to react to it in a way that is creative and unique while also likely to continue paying my rent.

Mm-hmm.
Heather FlowersGUEST
I also agree that like there is a pareidolic element to how gamers view game designers through the lens of their games.
Stephen McGregorHOST
Yes.
