This week, we talk about demo shenanigans, sound design, and player feedback. Seasoned players and newcomers have very different experiences of the same game. When getting feedback, devs need to be careful in their analysis to make sure the adjustments they made actually have the intended effect. Every player’s opinion is valid, but not all opinions are equal!
