Video games, their worlds, characters, stories and the impact they have as a medium are a big part of who I am. When I set out to make a game, I think about the kinds of experiences I want the player to have, and strive to bring that drive to the table. No two players will have the same experience. But if I can be a part of something that helps players create happy and long lasting memories and friendships through those experiences then I am doing my job not just as an entertainer, but as a creator as well.
