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

Okay, so last week I started talking about the design of Champions of Kamagawa, but I didn't finish.

So this week, I will continue. So when last we left, our intrepid design team was working on bringing to life a world

inspired by Japanese flavor.

And last week I talked about how they had come up with Soul Shift and Beshito, but they

really were trying to find an identity for the set.

And when I got handed over to development,

so as I mentioned last week,

although I'm credited in the designs,

I was not on the design team.

I just came up with the Splice Mechanic,

which I'll get to today,

and I was giving credit on the design team.

I was actually, though, on the development team.

So the development team was run by Randy Bueller,

and it was a very interesting development team

because the set when it came in was in a rough place.

As I explained last week,

the set decided to try to do something interesting.

It started by making all the creative first, and then it went to build the design around the creative.

But the problem, as I explained last week, is design is just a lot more flexible.

I'm sorry, creative.
