Picture of me

I've been a game developer by hobby for over 10 years and got into my professional career back when I was 19; just before the "game development school" boom (lucky me!). In short, I now work for a company called BioWare Social in Sacramento, CA and hang out with my wonderful girlfriend Kat Leroux. That's about it... any questions?


Ask.

originalcontentparadox: Hey again ... I want your opinion on one thing (^-^). What is your opinion on text-adventure games? or text games(interactive fiction) in general. Do you think it is even impressive to be able to make one? I've been having a little trouble designing my games in order to fit into 2d/3d format ... they only work as text based rpgs. Do people even play text based games anymore. I do ... I love me some Zork ^-^. So thanks in advance ^-^

Zork was the first game I ever played :) I used to telnet into some server and play Zork 1-3 and I think some others. They are impressive because it takes a hell of a lot of planning to make them fun :) Myst is probably a prime example of how to do a “text adventure,” but with pictures. I don’t even know where I would start with a text adventure game, I’m not a very strong writer :)
