  • not pagan?

    came in expecting discussions of idolatry, enchantment, divination, etc. barely if any mention of these topics. thought the episode about amulets would be a course correction, turns out it was just some dude’s name. they seem like nice guys and the music is okay, just probably not into Baal or anything :/

John Snyder Goes BIG TIME

There wasn't a single moment of completion; the team treated Big Time as an evolving platform, with some features solidified and others still in refinement through beta testing and post-release updates.
John Snyder Goes BIG TIME
Q: So I guess my first question for John is, how over it would you say you are?
John explains the development fatigue is real but is balanced by ongoing momentum and a sense of purpose; the team kept moving by switching between related projects and using those learnings to improve Big Time, rather than rushing to finish it.

It opens the opportunity for exploration and growth as a musician as it serves many uses and its creative potential unfolds over time.
