Some of you may know that I live in Korea. I've been teaching English here for the last couple of years (when not writing about or making computer games/notgames
. Well, I'm going to be heading out in October, for the next phase of my life, which is going to be some extended traveling. The reason I'm posting this here is that I thought some of you might be interested to know that what I'm hoping to do during my travels is make notgames about the things I see and experience. I just started a
Kickstarter project saying as much, and assuming I can meet my goal, that's what I'll be doing.
I just wanted to say that I'm really excited about the idea, and thank you all for inspiring me in a big way. This website played a large role in re-igniting my passion for the interactive medium, and especially my passion for making notgames (which I've been making ever since I found this place).
Preempting Michaël's concerns about my project: I know that I won't get everything right. Heck, maybe I won't get anything right. I know that
Freedom Bridge failed in a lot of ways, but when I read a comment like the one at the bottom of
this page, I can't help but think that it succeeded in some ways, too, even if only for some people.
I want to do better, I want to experiment, I want to fail and have you guys tell me why, and try again and again. I'm ready to give this notgames thing my sweat and blood for a solid while.
So wish me luck
