Welcome and thanks for tuning in!
I’ve started this blog as a way to show my learning as I strive to achieve my dream of becoming a game developer. This has been an ongoing goal as I move into my third year studying my Bachelor of IT at Deakin University.

If you’re interested in knowing why I want to become a game developer, jump onto my ‘About Me’ page and read more there!

For now I’m going to focus on trying to make these updates semi-regular, but for now, here’s a quote that really speaks to my design philosophy:

“The “joy of discovery” is one of the fundamental joys of play itself. Not just the joy of discovering secrets within the game, but also the joy of uncovering the creator’s vision. It’s that “Aha!” moment where it all makes sense, and behind the world the player can feel the touch of another creative mind. In order for it to be truly joyful, however, it must remain hidden from plain view—not carved as commandments into stone tablets but revealed, piece by piece, through the player’s exploration of the game’s rules.”
