"I'm making two games (The Tingler + the next one with the team from Hyper Light)"
Re-plugging my post from page 396, where we first see Chelsea's relationship with one of Hyper Light Drifter's devs Teddy Dief:

Reminder that Alex Preston was the lead creator of Hyper Light Drifter(especially notable for racing to finish the game because of potentially fatal complications with his congenital heart defect). Ted did coding, and was NOT the brainchild of the 2016 indie hit(still relevant, being ported to Nintendo Switch).

So the timeline is, Heart-Machine, the team that made a decently successful indie game in 2016 already had Chelsea trying to worm her way in via Teddy(Hyper Light Drifter is finished, sucks Chelsea's clit for an hour+ on podcast while acting like he's the big man behind the game), Teddy gets a little time in at Square Enix Montreal, leaves, and now the team looks like this:

Instead of Tingling, she's been sucking her way into talent to "write" and idea-guy around(and possibly trick them into finishing her game's coding/UI as a side project). Also note the Fez/Phil Fish connection with Square Enix Montreal's remaining staffers, who attacked Wolf Wozniak for milady.
Looking at those two pictures - not only is Zoe a dead-weight add to the team ("Narrative Design" sounds like a very lofty and needless title for a team of 12), but it looks like the new team and the old team are very different. It looks like there's only one "major" player still on the team (Alex Preson, who apparently could die because of his heart defect) and two minor designers (1 animator, 1 sound designer). It also looks like they've got 12 people but 10 "designers" and 2 coders, which is not a good mix.
