Rett rides solo this week and asks about subverting game design elements to strengthen your theme or deliver a message. Then he takes a spin in to talking about popular story structure, such as JK Rowling’s 7 point plot structure.

Taylor is a homeowner, Rett is sick? And everyone has new jobs. With life rushing by at full speed neither have furthered their own game dev’s quest. But perhaps with a home and hearth of his own, life may again equalize for half of our heroes. Only time will tell…

This is a windy one. We pull our usual when we don’t have a topic lined up: BS for an hour like good friends do. This week, we talk about Game of Thrones (no spoilers), Lost, Rett’s musical, and a deep dive on an ethical conundrum with one of our favorite metal bands growing up. Enjoy!
