Secret Boss - A Video Game Auteur PodcastShow Notes
We talk about Stephen "Mortdog" Mortimer, most famous for being the current ongoing lead designer behind League of Legends's autobattler Teamfight Tactics, but also responsible for the mini-Mario games in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series and... other games at Nintendo of America! Does Mortimer have a throughline in his work? Is Crosswords Plus secretly the best game in his ludography? Has anyone ever had a non-toxic relationship with League of Legends? All the questions and more answered in this episode. Galvan wrote this description by the way. Stephen Mortimer Research Document: https://sb-stephenmortimer.odie.us/ Edited by Galvan.
