GAME DEV’S QUEST e28: HOLIDAY HATE

Taylor and Rett share their distaste for the holidays and holiday traditions. Taylor had some unity issues to sort out. Rett was busy and doing some writing. They’ve been listening to more coffee with butterscotch. Then they talk about brainstorming for the upcoming game jam (that already happened for those following along!)

Plus the guys have picked up Pillars of Eternity and been plucking a long!
