2. Playing the DROD series is a very unique experience. Where did the inspiration for the series come from?

I mainly just made the kind of game I wanted to play. I like complex problems that come from simple premises. I've got a bad case of gridlove, too. So after everybody else making games declared topdown grids old-school retrogarbage, I was thinking we'd barely scratched the surface. You just can't beat the capacity of a graph to show a detailed situation clearly. I still get excited sometimes by an empty sheet of graph paper, with all those little squares ready to be filled in. It's weird, I know.
