Subliminal Seer
My eyes snap open, swimming with visions of magic and mystery. The dim grey lights of the predawn paint shadows on the popcorn ceiling. To me, images of castles, spaceships, and countless faces appear up there. I reach for my phone and start writing – because as surely as I sleep – most mornings I awake with fully formed game ideas bursting from my brain.
So many authors say all you need to be a writer is to write each day. I write game ideas every day – sometimes it’s just a few lines about a combination of game mechanics or unique plot ideas. But more often than not, like an epiphany, I get a whole game downloaded directly into my brain. I love it!
To me, game design is not a passion. It is not a choice. It is a vital and automatic process like breathing or the beating of my heart. If you’ve got it in your DNA too, then you know exactly what I’m talking about. If your imagination and your inspiration well up from inside you every day – then you are my people, and I am your man!
