    Found your work on difficulty level from Brainy Gamer’s podcast. Hearing it I wondered whether there is anything to learn back in the education realm from managing failure:

    Well, yes, but realistically I think failure has been more systematically studied in education than games, hence some of the theories I have been using actually come from education.
