Oliver — great story, thanks.

It featured cute and fluffy bunny, gore, and rock music.

That sounds a hell of a game!

Sonia — you have a fan here. Love your writing.

Melissa — another great story, the most satisfying successes are often the ones that felt like they were going to be the biggest disaster. Wonderful in retrospect, terrifying at the time.

As for you question at the end of this, it really made me think of all my projects in film school and not one in particular although some gave me a faster heartbeat then others. I felt I worked really hard in school and created projects that were interesting, memorable and quite different and weird, I even remeber being in directing class in undergrad for theatre and created a comedy skit that involved a projection camera and a startrek theme, my some of my actors who were in it, almost were to embarressed to do the production and were almost regretting it, until they went for it, and they class loved it to the nth degree and my actors left saying positive things and were praised on their roles. I was just happy to be able to give them the best guidence I could as a director and also was proud that I made the experience enjoyable and something that people talked about for weeks. Those moments of making others happy and forget about their lives are the best!

I personally would like to get slightly more famous than the slightly famous I am now. So far, slightly famous is tons of fun.

Yeah, I remember such a time. When I was still going to school I loved game design and game programming, and I still love it.

I don’t remember which summer it was but one summer I created a jump’n'run type of game, you know, a Commander Keen-like. It featured cute and fluffy bunny, gore, and rock music.

After giving it to just a handful of good friends, the game spread around school and one fateful summer day a whole bunch of kids came up to me and praised me, asked me for more levels, a sequel and after a while those people started to create mods with new graphics and music by themselves.. people who didn’t really know me came up to me and asked “so you are the dude who made that cool game, huh?”

Me and some friends formed a group and once or twice a week we met in a basement, hung out, played drums and guitar, and worked on our games. I even made a little game for a girl I had a crush on. I remember her cursing at the difficulty, saying the game sucked and turning me down.

It was an awesome summer.

Thanks for bringing back those memories through this article.

Thank you so much for the kind feature. It’s things like this that help keep me motivated, and it’s an honour to be mentioned alongside Susan and Arin. I wish them, and you, every success both now and in the future.

Thank you again.
