Q: What caused Adam to go into AI psychosis, and how did he recognize he needed to slow down?

Q: How did you get into game development and meet each other?
The hosts describe meeting during a 24-hour game jam in a water tower, with collaboration growing from there into continued projects and shared storytelling.
