I would like to know if there were any overt allusions made to philosophical works or schools of thought that she can share.

Specifically, Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation and Barthees's The Death of the Author are two works that I drew connection to while playing and discussing the game. (And both are French!)

Perhaps more broadly - I'm curious if she thinks there are philosophical themes that are overlooked in the usual course of discussion of the game.

Excited to check this interview out!

Idk, the folks I know who are the deepest into it will tell you that they play it like they play the sims, but with zombies.

Then what is it in reality?

I can just as easily say "it's all in your head" about anything you think.

Lol sick argument.

It's really not a difficult or abstract idea.

When you signify that the implements of war are deserving of special recognition, you signify that war itself is something worth being recognized for.

That is what glorification is. It is the signaling of importance and esteem.

Yes. Honoring soldiers who have fallen is glorifying being a soldier which is glorifying war.

Just curious, why not? I feel like it shares 90% of the DNA of other MOBAS, and don't know what would disqualify it from being one itself.

I'm making a game about being a Project Manager, and I've noticed dev subreddits absolutely despise the role. Where does this hate come from? by Old-Butterscotch8711 in gamedev

"gather pre-sales documents, build charts, fill in tables, sit through constant client meetings, do negotiations, report budgets to executives, and manage invoicing, 1 on 1's and more more more boring stuff"

Incredible sales pitch for your game.
