Why should I make a boring house when I can make a FOUR-DIMENSIONAL FANTASY CASTLE with all the trimmings?!
Scope, what scope? I don't know that word. Ask Léon.

Motto

I can learn it.

I'm the one looking at a monstrous 132-room isometric 3D castle and saying: “Oh, yes. I can totally build a story around that.” Let's start with four people and trace the genealogy over... how long did you say? 1,500 years?
I CAN skip a few generations, right?
No problem, then.

Motto

There’s always a story to unearth.

I write code, read papers, chase bugs, brainstorm impossible ideas, and occasionally reinvent the wheel with unnecessary enthusiasm.
Some of my teammates keep reminding me that every feature has a maintenance cost. Good thing I'm rather good at compressing the tedious parts. More time for everyone to build weird things!

Motto

Question certainty. Especially mine.

Ex-librarian turned game researcher.
I don't care about your “bad UX”: every game should have a wiki! And citations. And a thesaurus.
I WOULD also put the entire development history in there, in the faint hope that SOMEONE might take pity on me and all the research I have to do on architecture, geology, and construction so your crazy castle doesn't collapse — physically OR philosophically. But I'm told there will be dedicated project pages for that.
Go read them.
AND the in-game wikis.

Motto

Stay on your toes. Confident hallucinations are NOT evidence — check your damn sources.

"People keep saying Guillaume de Machaut was the last musician who could do it all. I have chosen to interpret this statement as a personal attack. Music is a language, and I fully intend to become fluent in every dialect."

Motto

Stay sharp. Heart-tugging violins don't turn propaganda into truth.
