: There are other people like me? : Derrick March 10, 2010, 09:39:46 AM Hi, I'm Derrick. I'm from the USA, and am coming to terms with the fact that I am a game designer and it is what I feel I must do.
I recently went back to school (changed my major field from engineering to game development/computer science) and am currently engaged in several projects that I am very excited about and can't wait to show you! I do not have a website yet, but as soon as I make one (it is on my to-do list) I will post it on the forum so everyone can critique it and whatnot =) I am elated to be part of this forum... I have been very disgruntled with the American games industry and have been having trouble finding where I "fit in", being someone who enjoys the experiences that interactive media can create, without needing it to be a "game". I can say that I absolutely love Tale of Tales' work, and am proud to own a limited hard copy of The Path for PC. The Path really was a "game changer" for me. It was without a doubt the most immersive experience I have ever had (I played it for hours without realizing how engrossed I was), I truly felt as though I was in another world... similar to how audiences recently reacted to the Avatar movie. I hope to be able to create similar experiences for those that see my work. : Re: There are other people like me? : Michaël Samyn March 10, 2010, 12:15:49 PM Glad to hear that The Path has been so stimulating for you.

Stout March 13, 2010, 03:35:02 AM The Path really was a "game changer" for me. I know how you feel :) : Re: There are other people like me? : God at play March 20, 2010, 06:27:10 AM Welcome Derrick! I'm happy to hear that you've found some like minds. Can't wait to see what you're up to.
Welcome to the Salon des Refusés of the games industry! ;) I was just reading about this in my art history book tonight. :P |
