Star Signs as Game Makers
Sorry this is silly and deviates a bit from the usual tone of this blog. But sometimes being silly might be the gateway for understanding things, so, here goes. This has been a Twitter thread, bringing it here for good measure. Please don’t take it too seriously.
Aries
Who needs a design document? Let’s just make the damn thing already!
Taurus
Sorry, can’t talk, deadline is tomorrow and I’m like in the flow now.
Gemini
Oh, I’m working on seven different games right now. I think I’m starting a new one, though.
Cancer
PLEASE HELP ME THIS PROJECT IS A MESS! People will know I’m TERRIBLE at making games!
Leo
Hey team, please finish the game for me as I dress up for my 236534786th award ceremony!
Virgo
Everything is in this extensive color coded spreadsheet. Basically, the whole game. It already works.
Libra
Look how elegant my game mechanics are. They work in beautiful harmony with my aesthetic. I’m such a pro.
Scorpio
We need those characters today! Have the bugs been fixed? WHY DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING HERE?
Sagittarius
This is a great adventure! We’re learning so much! Can we deliver this in two weeks?
Capricorn
Look, this thing is great but I’m here for the money, really. We could have shipped this last week. Why is it not out yet?
Aquarius
The game is great, everyone loves it. So I’m changing the whole design now. I’m bored.
Pisces
Hey team! I love you all! Also, I baked cake! Are you feeling good today?
