Notable quotes
“So we knew that we wanted to do the concert game and I had a pretty good idea of how, in general, I wanted things to go.”
“There's a lot of risk-reward in this game, and it's going to take players a while to fully grasp all the concepts, I think. But once you do, you'll realize there's a lot of strategy there, certainly more so than meets the eye.”
“I actually wanted it a lot simpler than how it wound up, which is a little bit stunning to hear, I'm sure.”
“I vastly underestimated the amount of time that it would take to do the light shows for sure.”
“It's one of those things where for the first time, I feel like when I've been working on the game, I feel like it was a lot more fluid of a design than like usually I will have things laid out to begin with.”
“Well, I'm just saying theoretically. I got you. You would not know just his general demeanor, you would not know that he is the god of guitar. So he doesn't wear a top hat when he goes to get a sub?”
“The problem with that whole setup is that you have perfect information when you're buying that extra ball... So if you're in that case, why wouldn't you hit the extra ball and make the two shots during the extended ball saver time and get to the end of the game?”
“Yes, it does. Wow, good stuff.”
“I could have it done in a day, and then everyone would have it. So it's just that they haven't spent the time, dedicated their resources to do it yet.”
“You spend a whole credit to buy one ball instead of a credit to buy three balls.”
