Notable quotes
“I completely changed the entire display system based on your feedback.”
“The players are going to suffer for my deep, deep desire to have that joke in the game.”
“I can build more narrow and niche experiences. I don't need to design a game that appeals to everyone.”
“As an independent developer I can do things I can take risks and do things in this space that maybe you couldn't rely on someone buying an entire cabinet.”
“I think that this is something I'm enjoying. I'm challenging myself. I'm trying new skills.”
“For the price of $1.99 US, it is a great value. And I hope people will be happy with it as a complete package.”
