    So funny to see: When he shows the Grim Fandango design document, Daniel turns into 100% attention mode. He is all eyes all of a sudden. 🙂

    Another fantastic guest that is capable of talking for 4 hours, very personable. Lol I'm glad Bret acknowledged after about 45 min, "You are very thorough." Daniel definitely is. Very interesting to hear the career story, including the massive grind in game development. We all have our journey, and it sounds Bret definitely has an idea where he wants to be. It was also nice to hear that he acknowledged near the end of the video that there were plenty of good times at his Lucasarts despite how tough it was.
    On a side note, I was also happy to hear the fact Ultima Underworld got a tiny mention, even though I don't think it had anything to do with him. I played that game every day for about 2 months over one summer break and finished it. That was the first BIG role playing game I got absolutely hooked on.

    Daniel, do you plan to interview Gary Brubaker? Great man. Spoken of very fondly by the fellow Lucasart alum you have interviewed.

    Great interview, very intetesting stuff.
    It would be great if you could interview Adam Schnitzer that mr. Mogilefsky mentioned at 1:56:54, If you have the time or energy to do it, of course.
    No pressure.
    Grim is my favorite game ever.
    Doing pre-rendered backgrounds or 3d side for Grim Fandango has not been talked about alot really.
    I'm fascinated by them.

      Thank you for the feedback.
      Unfortunately, in my current weekly release schedule, I don’t have enough time to handle the split to chapters.
      Once I’ll have some free time, I’ll add chapters to all of my conversations.

    All that talk about trying stuff just to break things and Grim, made me think of this video I made a few years ago during a let’s play to show funny glitches. It’s from the remastered version and probably not possible to trigger with the original tank controlled keyboard. But once you know this you’ll be taking every stair in the game in Fred Astaire style.
