So as you get older, you hit moments of realization of what you are good at and what you are bad at.

I’ve hit a few of these during my life and career.

There are days and moments where you evaluate past events and discover both new skills, and new things that you shouldn’t even try.

Basically I’ve gotten to an age where I’m going to play to my strengths as a developer. And that means figuring out what they are. Yeah I went through this in the past, such as discovering that I’m a shitty level builder…

So you may ask, why am I writing all of this shit? Well, as of January 31st, I am no longer with SCEE. As of February 4th, I am with Recoil Games. I’ll be leading up the design on Earth No More.

It’ll be good. I’m moving to Helsinki, Finland, mostly because it wasn’t cold and dark enough in the UK. What does that mean for this site? Dunno.. But I’ve had about a year worth of thinking and overintellectualizing about the nature of game design, game designers and more, so there should be a fair amount of shit going up.
