Martha took a blacksmithing class! Also, her instructor told her this was a perfect forge weld.

Martha brought up fighting scope creep on our GDC 2017 Special. GDC 2017 Special (Part 1) Project management is a way to combat scope creep that we’ve covered before, in the episode "We joke here." A core concept for your game can help focus ideas as well. We go over this in our Game Design Primer topic in our episode "That makes me retroactively nervous."
