EmilianoPireddu​ - glad to see so many people already hyping this! Just tried out the demo and it blew my mind. I've been trying to do that same "port over" of tabletop/turnbased gaming principals into tools for years but never made anything this pretty 😎 - thanks for sharing and giving your thinking process. 

Nerdy question; do you have a favorite video game at current? Darkest Dungeon was too much for my speed (and the controls were wonky on the Switch), but I'm on my second run-through of BG3 and loving it all over again 💖

    Hi Rachael_Silvano​ —love nerdy questions :D
    I’m a fan of every kind of RPG, and of course I devoured and loved BG3 with all my heart! You’re right about Darkest Dungeon—it’s really punishing and hardcore—but stylistically it was a big touchstone for me (the action zoom idea came from there).
    Right now my current favorite is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33: I just finished it and it left a huge void!
    But if you asked for my all-time favorite, I’d say without a doubt: Persona 5 💘
