    I had an amazing brainstorm live consultation with Shane, and he is super easy going, super sharp with amazing ideas. He helped bootstrap a lot of lore and gameplay ideas for my game prototype, he lit a fire in my creative brain!

    All the reviews about Shane are wrong because he deserves 6 stars, not only 5. Shane has amazing knowledge of the world and it is incredibly useful for concepting and coming up with novel ideas because he has so many places to pull inspiration from. He provided a lot of great playable ideas for our game...
