RimWorld Director Tynan Sylvester Calls Himself a 'System Crafter' at NDC26

At Nexon's NDC26, RimWorld director Tynan Sylvester described his role as a 'system crafter' who designs systems that generate stories rather than writing narratives directly. He discussed the game's approach to morality, noting that cannibalism penalties reflect character reactions, not value judgments from the code.
