Hey all! This is kind of a “bonus episode” of sorts, only 30 minutes long. Here’s some of the topics covered:

• A bit of navel gazing about my own theory and approach to games and how it has changed
• A short essay I wrote about “speaking the language” and how building off of existing designs means a higher floor and a higher ceiling
• Some stuff about 4X games and scope. Will 4X games ever do anything about this? Maybe Against the Storm will provide some answers.
