    00:46:19 Greg Kasavin interview

    00:54:17 Did you grow up wanting to become a game developer? Or did you grow up wanting to be a game reviewer?

    00:54:57 Was there a conflict or dissonance between your interests in creative writing as versus the demands of mathmatical, methodical demands of game programming?

    01:04:59 What were some lessons learned from reviewing games when it came time to making games?

    01:11:37 When did you first become interested in Greek mythology? And when did you decide to invest that into a big money game project?

    01:24:00 Historians, archeologists, and classists like to say that “there is a kernel of truth to all mythology.” Are there any stories, or truths, from your own life that got adapted into the version of Greek mythology we see in the game?

    01:23:58 How much of the studio’s revenue comes from merch sales, versus game sales? Is merc a bigger avenue for making or breaking a studio’s success that more fans should be aware of?

    01:26:14 Do Supergiant consider *themselves* to be a top-tier studio?

    01:30:13 Since it was planned for early access from the ground up, do you plan on making more Hades content? And when do you know it's time to call it quits?

    01:35:42 As an early access game, was the "final ending" written up early or later in the develop ent process?

    01:41:56 Do you think there is a big future for short, linear, "close-ended" campaign games?

    01:44:40 How early was the decision to build it for early access?

    01:49:44 Matt leaves

    01:50:11 Did Kojima have a big influence on Greg Kasavin? Are games inherenly "postmodern?"

    01:53:42 Is there a particularly obscure, off beat, hardly known work of art (game or otherwise) everyone else calls trash but you know better?

    01:56:41 What was working with NoClip like? Do you think that Hade's development process changed due to it, even if unintentionally?

    01:58:31 What about remote work? Will Supergiant still be hitched to San Francisco after transitioning to remote work?
