NEW: After my last piece about what's slowing down game development, folks wrote in to ask "why didn't you talk about bad leadership?"

It uhhhh never came up. So I returned to the well and asked devs to explain why better leadershipโ€”not AI or any other toolโ€”is vital to efficient game development.

Just heard Drew Struzan passed away ๐Ÿ˜ž His incredible work has given me and countless others so much awe, joy and inspiration!

I had posters of his work as a teen, I began using color pencils because I thought he used them too. Always inspired by him. Just utterly heart broken.

RIP Drew Struzan.

In case you didn't know, "understand the concept of love" is a quote from a speech by Black Panther Stokely Carmichael (aka Kwame Ture) at the Free Huey Rally on Feb. 17, 1968.
Read the entire speech here, it's unfortunately still relevant.
