    Thinkpad T530

    Their words

    My second machine is an overly solid 15.6" Thinkpad T530 with an SSD. What I love about this machine is the keyboard. Each keystroke is a joy.

    Skype

    Their words

    The bulk of our conversation happens in Skype. We've got each team set up in chat rooms and then we have on topic conversations throughout the day. What is great about this is that it is asynchronous. If you are in the middle of something, then a message from someone is stored until you are ready to read it.

    Google Docs

    Their words

    For writing, we use Google Docs. The ability to collaboratively edit documents in realtime and share them over the web with the click of a button has really changed how I write design docs.

    Adobe Illustrator

    Their words

    I've been using Adobe Illustrator for interface design. My favorite technique is to set up all the UI elements on separate artboards and then I can quickly export them out with full name to all sorts of different resolutions with a single dialog.

    Dropbox

    Their words

    We also use Dropbox for our file storage and everyone has a variety of iOS and Android devices for testing the latest builds and playing Drop7.

    Wacom tablet

    Their words

    There's also a Wacom tablet as well for when I do digital paintings but lately my art has been leaning towards a more graphic vector style so it doesn't get quite as much love.

    Unity

    Their words

    For the games themselves, we've used Flash, Unity or HTML. Essentially, we want to be cross platform so that once we've found an interesting game mechanics, we can quickly distribute it to as many people as possible.

    Google Spreadsheets

    Their words

    Many of our prototypes store their balancing data in Google Spreadsheets and then we can quickly tweak a value and have it published live to the game. So you get all the version control and group editing of Google Docs feeding directly into your game… this is much nicer than throwing XML files back and forth.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
