Miyamoto said something this week I keep thinking about.

At a Nintendo press conference in Kyoto he said they always separate "creating" and "doing the work". Polishing and filling gaps feels productive, but it doesn't make the design better. So if AI takes more of that work, maybe people have to think harder about what they are actually making.

For our 2027 game this is my fear and my hope at the same time. Very easy to spend a whole day on things that feel like progress. Much harder to sit and ask if the idea is fun.

And about the future: "There's still plenty we can do." From the man who made Mario, I take it :)
