Hello Patrons!

Bit of a weird bonus video this month - but one of the most enjoyable we've ever done. 

I cover most of this in the video intro but we're doing a little collaboration with Alex Austin (Gish, Sub Rosa, Bridge Builder) to dip our toes in game design. It should be a fun project for the crew channel while we're also doing a short doc on his career and physics games for the main channel.

This video is a meeting myself & Jeremy had with Alex where we both pitched five game ideas and tried to figure out which one we should ask him to prototype. The plan right now is that we'll hire him to create something rudimentary and have the community play it and tell us what they think. Maybe we keep working on it and stick it on Steam one day, who knows? We're kinda just rolling with it. 

I've added chapters so you can follow along with each pitch;

Well the sandcastle idea was really awesome - invokes feelings of my childhood, which is a bit bittersweet. I was also a big fan of the Blood, Debt & Gears game - envisioning swapping a patient multiple times between a few ambulances (or the idea of running people over making more opportunities for your opponents to score) was really cool. Also, I'm loving this "behind the scenes" type stuff - keep it coming!

I do like the ambulance idea. My kind of humour.
