missing something what do we need you know and it's like that you kind of taste in the soup all the time instead of going no this is it which is how we used to work on the lego games it was all pre-approved and we would make it to spec so you you know you have to really kind of beg to kind of change things when they've been pre-approved whereas here it's like you just keep tasting it then i sometimes it's too much and sometimes it's not enough and you just have to wait until you get the right

Hmm. That's a good question. Um, did you guys have any like specific, not what we're doing now? Um, I think I can't wait to hear a lot about that. A big influence on those games was like the Ghibli, the Ghibli style and very specifically spirited away. Um, it's the best one.

aspect you know and it's that balance that kids bring when putting these these uh very very alien places and it was just something that worked for that world we were creating and it's not something we slavishly stick to it it's always at the needs of the game dictate um and the way we felt with little nightmares was i think one of our pillars was um it's a child's perspective.
