Notable quotes
“I think the biggest thing about game theory is that you want to be on the player's side. Reward them with something that lets them survive longer or see more or do more.”
“You eat the elephant one bite at a time. You keep testing the game and making sure it fits and works.”
“I do, in the next update, I turn on the ball safe for that entire mode. That is excellent news.”
“I want stand-ups between every shot so I know if a player missed. In case if I wanted to do a star rule again.”
