This session dives into the process the team employed to validate this emotional impact early through playtesting and iteration. The talk explores what worked, and what didn’t, in early prototypes of the Death Rites in Ambrosia Sky. And emphasizes sharing early versions with the team, trusted developers, and potential partners.
