Hi Tim, it’s us, Everyone.

The typical programmer answer: "It depends."

I would love to see Tim work on a fully fledged horror game. He seems to be really connected to the player experience which I think would help significantly in developing a successful horror title.

Ave, true to TimCain

Well, I take that as great news for my Fallout Farming/Life Sim Visual Novel pitch!

In my experience, people that believe money is everything aren't capable of understanding people that don't.

Seems like people at Obsidian really know how to get you to do what they need you to x) (console game, hire Leonard, etc)

Making sure fallout 5 is good would be new and different

If Tim was working on Fallout Again, it'd be great! Now we just have to figure out what Fallout Again would be.

You're not in a privileged position to say no, you're the artists position to choose, it's where you say no based on what you want to create, that's a great place to be for an artist, no matter if you're a painter, sculptor or a game developer.

"Tim, do you want to go to the Moon?"

I have a feeling that Tim makes thumbnails with every emotion for us to make animated Fallout 1/2 style talking head. Also he records anwsers to dialogue tree below.

Tim I really appreciate your candid nature when you speak about your time working on games over the years. I spent a much smaller chunk of time working in the games industry and it seems like a lot of people were very guarded about troubles and disagreements and at best it would be very gossipy and hush hush. It's nice hearing about your experiences both good and bad. Most people in the industry don't talk like this and it's a bummer.

It's so interesting to hear you talk about your time with Troika. I wasn't doing any gaming in the period where games by Troika were taking off, so I only picked up Arcanum and Bloodlines in the 2020s. And even this much later on and with no awareness of how it played back then, I could see how much of a labour of love they represented. It feels oddly comforting that these games which "speak" so impactfully came during a period that you talk about with so much energy looking back on.

That's interesting. I was expecting something about whether or not there was more story to tell in that world and about how much freedom he had to tell his story. That's the typical answer anyway. Instead, it's "what would I get out of it?" That's a brutally honest answer, but perfectly valid. Artists are driven to create, and when that drive isn't there (whatever the motivation is), it can be soul sucking to force it.

You're the only person I can just watch and listen to from start to finish with my full attention.

Good morning, Tim! I am just a humble Mechanic, and an enjoyer of your games. I watch you videos every day, because it feels like I am having my morning coffee with an old friend. I know we don't know each other, but it feels that way. Never change, Tim!

It's not the answer I would have liked, but it is a respectable answer.

My biggest take away from this Tim, is you followed you passion, and what an awesome ride it has been!
