>>36640272>another retard doesn't know about GF's "20% time" policy (like Google used to do)Basically, staff are allowed to use up to 20% of their work week working on personal game projects. If they can convince a handful of others what they have is worth merit, they get allowed to do a bit more work on it seriously and if the higher-ups like it after that, it gets funded and ratified as a project (there's an old Iwata Asks interview when GF released Harmoknight which touches on this). Town's got the feel of a 20% project from what I can see, doubt its development and Gen VIII's development impacted much on each other, but we'll definitely know more when we find out who's directing Town.
