That’s a cool idea but it’s not out yet. We work really far in the future, and I often volunteer for the less fun work anyway. :)

Actually, a funny moment happened a while back - I was talking to a producer about some ideas I had for a card set and they told me they liked my enthusiasm but I should probably stick to what I was hired for. I tried not to laugh as I told them I actually was hired as a gameplay designer. I’d been jungling so much they didn’t realize I wasn’t officially on the systems teams, I was just helping out as needed.

I need to pick a LoR follower's art for my author avatar when I eventually post dev blogs. I figured you folks might have suggestions. :)

I tend to prefer whimsical art but I'm open to lots of ideas. What'd be a good choice for a game designer? Or just someone that loves Runeterra?

EDIT - Wow, so many great suggestions! I strongly considered a bunch of them but the Sneaky Zeebles suggestion won out, because when looking up the full art after seeing the suggestion I've learned the Zeebles are SO sneaky that the best Zeeble is playfully hiding below the card frame. How can I resist? He's literally behind the scenes.

Our legions grow! I'm sure they'll see this post, so if you want to welcome them this is a great chance. :)

Hey Dan! Just wanted to say I’m really happy the team has still been focusing on PoC. I exclusively play LoR for PoC and I buy the premium set so I can get shards for PoC. I hope the team doesn’t have plans to abandon the mode!

Thanks. I'll pass it on. :)

Nice try. Nab only takes jobs from the bottom of the resume, not the top.

This is so stupid. I love it. What other songs would fit?

Months ago I saw black and white placeholder clip for this with an animator singing his heart out.

I want it as an alt version for my collection so much.

Ok but why do you use light mode on Slack?

It is a tragic tale. I went into it in another comment here. :(

Why would you do this to me?

Well, if my name was Bob I'd have chosen Bilgewater. :)

Demacia before bilge because demacia starts with D and D for Dan

...gods damn it, Dan. XD

Thanks for the humorous peek behind the curtains. ^_^

Glad I got to share a little of the fun. I love my job. :)

how are we meant to take you seriously now that we know you use light mode?

It is a tragic tale.

I've been using dark mode mods for so long that I got used to turning them off for work stuff because they used to invert the colors of normal images and it was a big pain to toggle constantly. Now I'm so used to toggling them off on work apps that I'm too used to them in light mode.

I flew too close to the sun.

i figured it was because tk and vayne were added, but there was only 1 targon champ added and it was yuumi and i was like hey has a bandle city champ ever been required for an encounter?

but guess it's just arbitrary lmao.

Heh, choosing which regions would be required had real thought behind it. This was just about the order the four chosen regions should be displayed in, from left to right.

We didn't want to require bandle city and targon in the same adventure because if you complete it with Yumi first it would fill the left-most slot even if you wanted it to fill the right-most slot right now. We try to avoid any potential feel-bad moments when possible.

Oh no! I’ll look at this in the morning and fix the too easy Azir

As a game designer on LoR, I often get asked what my day to day looks like. A large portion of game design is having fun answering the thousands of little questions that pop up on a day to day basis. Here's an example from the other day:

Ah I see. Well I had waited about 60 minutes I believe or close to it, but I guess checking it may have reset the timer. Thanks for your help

Checking doesn't reset the timer - it's just the maximum duration that the game can play. If you check again in about 30 you should be fine. Sorry about that!
