Caleb and I discuss how we look at spaces we learn about and incorporate them into games. From our regular haunts to places we only read about, there are many ways to look at interesting places and integrate them into a game. It happens in video games all the time &#8211; this picture shows the Freer Gallery of Art vs the Diamond Heist in Payday 2.
