Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 8hI made this video! It was the most intricate video project I've ever worked on, and it meant pulling an all-nighter, but I'm so in love with the song Alligator Orchestra put together for Kart I really wanted to give it my all. 2133
Reposted by Johnny DaleLeder Games @leder.games · 9hWe're big fans of local Saint Paul band Alligator Orchestra. After hearing songs they wrote about Root, we commissioned them to record a Kart theme song. They came back with "Don't Look Down!", two minutes of raucous pop-punk that's perfect for Kart's reckless downhill races. 1339
Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 30/09/2026I helped with the Kart KS video trailer, but this is the first full video I've produced for Leder! It was super-fun and I have a lot more of these interview compilations in the queue. 0142

Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 26/09/2026I was just catching up with a former coworker from a previous corporate job. She told me the bosses were really excited about the watermarks that AI providers are now embedding in text output: “Now they can test what we send them to see if we’re really using the AI tools they forced on us.” 1111

Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 23/09/2026Oof, yeah. We definitely do our share of testing to ensure the ruleset can't be exploited, but video game QA is a whole other level of monotony. Sure, we try to find edge cases in the rules but at least we're not doing "pick up the vase and hop 100 times. Now equip your sword and do it again. Now-" 230

Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 23/09/2026When people learn that I work at a board game company one of their first questions is "Do you play board games at the office all day?" Which...yeah, we do, but that's really reductive. There are good parts of the job as well. 4598

Johnny Dale @johnnydale.com · 20/09/2026We’ve definitely joked about that. Like, the humans only get two meeples and they’re both giant feet. My idea is to make the human meeples miniscule, as though they’re much smaller than the animals, just to screw with everyone’s pre-conceptions of the game and raise more question than we answer. 120
