How I make games

[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1/3″][vc_single_image image=“830″ img_size=“full“][vc_column_text]

Starting with the end

At the very beginning, I am not thinking too much about art or story. I am thinking about what the EXPERIENCE will be for the player. This is a videogame after all.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1/3″][vc_single_image image=“827″ img_size=“full“][vc_column_text]

Make it playable

There is no way to tell whether a game mechanic works without building a prototype. I am working in Unity from the very beginning to make the game testable as early as possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=“1/3″][vc_single_image image=“831″ img_size=“full“][vc_column_text]

Finding your audience

I aim for innovation. I work hard hard to find a hook or style that is unique and that resonates with people.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
