Games?

I am interested in creating games of many different genres but will probably stick with arcade, role-playing, and strategy. I want to make enjoyable games that bring together innovative mechanics, general silliness, and a retro feel.

Manifesto

• Fun

  Games should be fun, duh! Specifically, I want to achieve fun by providing challenges, silly environments, and player-game relationships.

• Mindful Mechanics

  The mechanics are the key message of a game! Behaviors and outlooks reinforced by the mechanics should be tied to the overall message of a game.

• Relationships

  Meaningful experiences come from relationships. A game should strive to create and explore relationships with the player.

• Challenge

  Challenges help the player learn and grow. They also provide the best reward.

• Legibility

  Visual and auditory readability is more important than realism. Flashy graphics shouldn't get in between the player and the experience.

• Silliness & Humor

  Games are for fun and should never be taken too seriously.
