26 years old game designer with 2 years of semi-professional experience as designer and producer, with passion and determination I have designed and developed 6 games with good results. The best thing about game design is that I get do use my creativity along with analytical skills while creating interactive entertainment; I enjoy the development process where the big price in the end is to watch people play and enjoy my games.

For 7 weeks now we have been developing break a Leg, final version of Gameplay is complete and 70 % of the graphics are done. Except from that one of my programmers broke his arm two places we haven’t had any huge obstacles yet … here is a new video!
The physics programmer Lars broke his arm ice skating, but he will still work on his tasks. Hopefully this won’t affect his work velocity that much, but he will be disabled trough the rest of the Dare competition. (Programmers should not go ice skating)
Hi Charlie I totally agree with you, it seems to me that a lot of game designers Both young ones and seniors have forgot about that simple addictive game mechanic that hooks the players for years. A game does not need to contain a story, but the game can become ...
Hi John Great blog article I see that you have read the same book as me, The Art of Game design: a book of lenses by Jesse Schell. Great book and I totally agree with you that game design is art and the most important skill for a game designer ...
If you got some programming skills you should use XNA and create a simple engine or else try to hook up with some programmers in a XNA community. Or you can join a team and just make a cool game that shows your modeling skills.
