Creativity is a fickle thing, and it's unlikely that steps X,Y,Z would produce the same inspiration as A,B,C.
I agree that modern version control would offer benefits, but maybe in moving to git Tarn would decide to sha1 everything internally, which would have some ultimate impact on the game that results.

- bashinator 5y agoI think you're talking about the artistic _product_, and the ethernet bridge is talking about artistic _process_. Like, you don't care what kind of paintbrush a painter uses, but it matters a lot to them.
