BD_DESIGN'S PROFILE

Just another ex-gaming industry hopeful, going to school and learning as much as I can. I don't think making a game will directly affect my chances of getting a job, but it will teach me the process as well as organization, something I sorely lack. I'm no longer working for Zynga, which is too bad.

What else? I like Japanese food and cinema (but I'm not an otaku), CRPGs (of course), electronic music (90's Industrial FTW), Belgian ales, meat cooked over fire, 420, CGI, 3D animation, cats, SNES, subversive or black comedy, dystopian sci-fi, and any epic fantasy brave enough to step out of the Tolkien shadow.

My dislikes include all forms of bigotry, country music, fast food, factory farms, multinational corporations, warfare, social networking, romantic comedies (in general), and politics.

A Game Designer's Manifesto

"No player is interested in a game where there is no conflict, where there is no trouble and just happiness and everyone gets their jollies."

Definitely agree with the ego thing. As they say, "Hubris is the game killer."

A bit wordy in places, but good information. I see a lot of anecdotes. Any book sources?

I was about to say that "art collage" is wrong, but it looks like all you're making is a collage.

Also, "im makeing the game as i go so i dont have a script or something that im writing it from."

Please don't do this. Write a script.

I'm fulfilling my own ka at the moment, so all i can offer is my support for this project. I was extremely disappointed with Discordia, and hope that you do the series justice. Damn, I can already see the boss fights and minigames that could go into this. I'm also interested in how the beams will be portrayed (this could easily be screwed up).

Bonus points if you use the term ka-babbies.
