(once) Issues covered: Tim's audio quality, community event, mind blowing, needing a certain number of cubes, a discussion of QR codes, every QR code a Fez puzzle, not being sure you should follow a QR code, stepping through the 32-cube door, metaphysical reflections, stepping back through bit depth, meme sunglasses, seeing how the world is built, debug tools, keeping a secret, independence and control of marketing and secrets, time pivots and traversing quickly, glowing gates and time of day, the low gravity space, Fez notes, Brett tries to talk around figuring out how to translate the language, talking yourself into being on the right track but not being, the lore in the world, subverting expectations and norms, exploring consequences of innovation, inspiration and subversion of classic games, not overstaying the welcome of its mechanics, changing how you think of the game, always having something going on, the artifacts and treasure maps, a more approachable platformer, difficult twitch reflexes, so you're saying it's possible.

Tim had some unscheduled travel come up this week and so we were unable to work around that and instead reach into the Discord Game Club interview archive. This time around, BioStats and Calamity Nolan interview Michael Betts, a member of the Discord who is also a developer and who played his studio’s game Tower Song in this past January’s charity stream event. We expect to return to finish off Fez next week. Twitch Discord DevGameClub@gmail.com…
