I'm pulling on my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for their drive to work.

Okay. Today is another lessons learned. So I'm going to talk about the making of Crimson Vow.

For those that don't know, but my lesson learned series, I examine sets that I led or co-led, and I talk about what I learned from leading

them. So this is an introspective podcast. Okay, so Crimson Vow was an interesting case

Anyway, we didn't.

But the fact that it was called clubs for golf clubs,

who wanted the golf.

And the idea was when we added it in,

we knew we were doing it a little bit of a last minute.

So the idea of taking a known world and expanding it felt a lot easier to do

than making, you know, making a brand new world that we were trying to squeeze in because we knew

that would be tough. And so basically what we did was, and I got put in charge in it just because

it was being done a little faster than normal. I don't, for example, I'm not sure if we got our full exploratory design time.

We had the full vision design, but it was a little tiny bit rushed.
