The idea makes perfect sense for game design talks, I'm surprised it hadn't been attempted until now. I had played older versions of GDC Dots (Raspberry) and Andean Bird before the talk, but it was nice to have you guys explaining your design as we played. The big take away for me was playing The Marriage, which I was lukewarm about at the Experimental Gameplay workshop but it really clicked when I actually got a chance to play it.
