We sit down with the Bakers to talk about how games and art grow out of everyday family life. We dig into creative conflict, staying unstuck, and why shelving a project can be a sign of craft rather than failure. 
• building a household that supports making through space, tools, and tolerance for mess 
• handling creative disagreement by keeping vision ownership clear 
• collaborating across different styles from solitary drafting to talk-it-through ideation 
• separating feedback from co-opting, asking for help without losing control 
• switching modes with small rituals, momentum, and “one step closer” progress 
• letting unfinished work exist, then choosing what to keep or release 
• abandoning broken designs, saving parts, and avoiding years-long dead ends 
• finding creative community through weekly meetups, check-ins, and lightweight support structures
