So I can't deny that Double Fine are having to find additional funds for Broken Age - it's true and they've been using multiple different ways. However, I think that's mainly because the scope of the game increased significantly due to way

As a software engineer in the UK - in my experience, the companies who want you to list very specific programming languages aren't worth working for. If they don't/can't understand that programming experience is transferable between languag
