    I think Scott was thinking of Jenny Nicholson when he mentioned a youtuber who has videos on Evermore Park and the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience.

    I agree that progression in a game needs to feel earned, but there is one exception if there is any sort of building mechanic, for me at least. When I want to learn the system and build spectacular sites. Here I have no qualms in using console commands to spawn building materials. At this point its only about the building.

    This is an excellent point! In that case, it is no different than going into Creative Mode in Minecraft so you can exercise those creative building muscles. But what about a building game where the structures serve a gameplay function (e.g. base defence)?

    Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to clean up the old video I grabbed of Season One interviews - but the audio lives on The Corner of Story and Game Podcast, which you can find where ever you get your podcasts. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/corner-of-story-and-game

    This podcast was brilliant. Thoughtful questions and great listening from the host, and clearly a brilliant, thoughtful, and creative mind from Alex. Great insights for storytelling, psychology and just some life inspiration. Thank you so much! I hope you get more subscribers soon. This is a lovely project.
