Hey! I really enjoyed making the GMTK Mini on God of War, last month. It was a nice opportunity to talk about something topical, and it was a fun challenge to make a video in a short time period.

So I've done another one! Playing Fortnite's world-ending season finale at the weekend inspired me to talk about the way Epic adds and removes content, and how that can be both a positive and a negative, depending on how you play the game.

This will be released publicly in an hour or two.

Cheers! I'm now working on the last vid of 2022 - my annual "most innovative game of the year" video. So I'll speak to you soon!
