Pretty cool interview.
I still haven’t really got passed that big game project problem, and I’ve been programming for about 9 years.
I’m 19 years old.
My projects always head to something bigger, or I think I can do more than I actually can.
Then at one point I decide I don’t like the project, or I think it’s too hard to complete, or impossible.
It’s a hard thing to get over.
Maybe I’ll try the one game a month challenge…

Every engine needs a spark of inspiration, he’s got it, go Pro Style! He conveys his message with great candour, and projects a stalwart wherewithal in his affinity towards building mutual assurance. I can relate to his outdoors stream recollection. As a kid on a family trip, we ended up in Land Between the Lakes Kentucky. My dad found a Maple branch, cut it in half, took one for himself and gave the other to me, I’ve still got both halves of those walking sticks. Keep on keepin’ on, so now, off to the show, #1GAM.
