  • DwarvenJester: So now that Seth is an experimental vegetarian, does he still celebrate MeatPieceWeen? Does it become PotatoSliceWeen instead?
  • challosis: Are there any jam/trash/tiny/flash games that you sometimes still go back to?
  • Butterscotch Atheist: Do indie developers avoid the polish stage to save time, or is it because of the AAA studios' relatively massive budget?
  • Gua: Do you believe that for an average indie game developer gameplay innovation usually pays off, or does it more often lead to a complete financial failure? Is it better to make genre games if one does want to continue making indie games?
