A veteran modder, game developer, game design consultant.
I worked for Datarealms as a content developer for Cortex Command, as well as provided countless feedback and encouragement to various indie games, in which I saw potential.
I have researched and developed Super Game Technology.
http://www.reactorcoregames.com/supergame.htm
Its a design technology that produces games with the best possible game design in terms of longevity, replayability, fun, consistency, persistency and as a new way of lifestyle.
They're also very profitable and respectable as a business model too.
In terms of overall game design, this is the best you can get. |

| As a game developer, your project can have the potential to have infinite longevity, offer a much richer experience of gameplay and not leave you in a state of emptiness after you finish that usual linear scripted game that you used up fast anyway. |

Ah, you 're talking about ...

This issue goes beyond just ... This issue goes beyond just online games. Some people grow up in environment, learning not to trust others and assuming everyone is out to get you, thus creating all sort of twisted strategies to milk customers when it comes to business. r n r nI say this because I 've ... |

Bummer, I thought that word ... Bummer, I thought that word was suitable since the way it sounds at face value made sense in this context too. r n r nBut yeah, thanks for the feedback, Ian Hamilton. I replaced accessibility with approachability. r nHopefully now its correct. |
