Thanks Rodney :) I might have to rewatch some of your older vlogs for parenting tips!

Thanks Rodney! Yes, I miss running into you as well, I hope life is treating you kindly. One day I'll have to come to PEI and visit :) Although harder with a 1 year old...

Really interesting design idea! You see it a lot in abstract games where you win if your opponent can no longer take a move.

Next time! But that's awesome - have you signed Walkable City? Would love to see what you've done too :)

Yes! I've had a few people ask - just a case of me working out how to actually do it :p I'll try and get onto it soon.

Yeah it can be tough no matter what stage you are at.

I’m so sorry to hear that :(

I’m not sure how different this is to just having a larger advance? Certainly it can help financially, but a lot of these issues are about better working conditions for designers.

Yes, sadly it still happens to me! But not with every publisher, to be clear.

We've come a long way! But it was your idea that started it all Rory :)

Thank you for these - and I’m sorry about your experiences with your ideas being stolen :(

Very good point. As an Australian who lived in Czechia for some time, while both of my countries didn't have amazing songs this year, both are already at a disadvantage when it comes to having few or none other countries where we can depend on some regular support in the public vote.

Yes! I didn’t think about how deadlines can even spark creativity. So glad it worked for you!

That’s a next level tip!

Its a really tough thing to define, I've had many similar experiences. I don't really have an answer either :(
