Hello everybody,
I'm really glad to join this forum which I've been silently reading since the first days.
I've always loved videogames, very much. But i finished very few of them as I get easily tired of repetitive tasks (like kill, kill, kill... or quest, quest, quest... ) and I feel frustrated when I'm confronted with content put there merely to make the game of an industry-acceptable length.
Since the 90's I asserted in conversations that videogames could be real works of art, but wasn't able to provide any convincing example. I would have been more credible stating that I believed in aliens...
Then I almost casually stomped into The Path.
The joy I felt starting playing it must have been similar to that of Jodie Foster when she first heard the alien message in Contact!
I work as a professional programmer.
And recently I've started dedicating myself to making games.
I almost finished coding my first little project, in the meanwhile sketching the design for the second one, a bit more ambitious and personal.
The goal is to iterate, possibly increasing complexity, aesthetics and meaning
