Developer's Twist

1. When you finally beat a boss you've been struggling on, only to see that it has a second, even more difficult phase.

2. When a game, such as a platformer, is advertised as one genre only for it to be a different genre entirely in the actual game.
1. "Oh shit, this is a Developer's Twist kind of boss, isn't it?"

2. "The person who made this RPG pulled a Developer's Twist! I thought is was gonna be cute from the ads, but it's terrifying!"

Cancer Development

A large suburban development, or sprawl, involving the decimation of natural forests for cheap tract homes, environmental scaring, & mind numbing uniformity.
100 acres were sold to a housing corporation that will jam in 475 homes starting in the low 300s!

From above, the surrounding landscape will look like it has cancer.

serial developer

A person who is continually developing, selling and moving to a new 'home' as often as the tax laws allow them. Superficial neighbour with no real interest in community who uses their home as a way to climb the social ladder and/or make money. For example, may sell and move house every 13 months, if the law requires them to stay over 12 months to avoid paying a tax on the profit from its sale.
Partner1: I met the new neighbours today at the old place over the road, they seemed nice but were keen to tell me all about themselves...

Partner2: Yeah, we I talked on the weekend - I gather they dont plan to stay, if they do to what they did to their last place - they are just serial developers, it seems to me.
