    I really enjoyed the whole conversation, but I LOVE that we got a detailed behind the scenes look. &nbsp;I would’ve never thought about those editor tools. &nbsp;Seeing a professional workflow in this way is really cool and helpful

    I love the art style for this game; it definitely looks like a detailed Renaissance oil painting.

    Probably my favorite game developer/designer today, and he&apos;s pretty much brilliant in that lane. Wish we had more like him today, but that&apos;s not what we&apos;re incentivizing.

    Thomas Mahler is just the coolest!

    I absolutely fucking love this guy. The more I hear him talk the more I love him. He&apos;s like &quot;The Dude&quot; of game dev, but like &quot;The Dude&quot; is on a warpath of awesome.
