Notgames Forum

Hi, I'm Derrick.  I'm from the USA, and am coming to terms with the fact that I am a game designer and it is what I feel I must do.

I recently went back to school (changed my major field from engineering to game development/computer science) and am currently engaged in several projects that I am very excited about and can't wait to show you!

I do not have a website yet, but as soon as I make one (it is on my to-do list) I will post it on the forum so everyone can critique it and whatnot =)

I am elated to be part of this forum... I have been very disgruntled with the American games industry and have been having trouble finding where I "fit in", being someone who enjoys the experiences that interactive media can create, without needing it to be a "game".  I can say that I absolutely love Tale of Tales' work, and am proud to own a limited hard copy of The Path for PC.

The Path really was a "game changer" for me.  It was without a doubt the most immersive experience I have ever had (I played it for hours without realizing how engrossed I was), I truly felt as though I was in another world... similar to how audiences recently reacted to the Avatar movie.  I hope to be able to create similar experiences for those that see my work.

Glad to hear that The Path has been so stimulating for you.

Welcome to the Salon des Refusés of the games industry! ;)
You're home now.  :-*

I know how you feel :)

Welcome Derrick!  I'm happy to hear that you've found some like minds.  Can't wait to see what you're up to.


I was just reading about this in my art history book tonight. :P
