Besides beta testing, did she offer feedback on other elements such as the towers or the humor of the game?Īnswer: My wife was actually a major inspiration for the game, and she acted as my target demographic. Question: That’s cool that your wife was part of the development process. I had my wife and a few friends play some test games once it was finished, but that’s about it. Question: How many people worked on Tower Defense Tycoon and what roles did they have?Īnswer: This game was an entirely solo project. I began using Blizzard’s editors when I was a still in school and students generally don’t have access to the necessary budget and team members to make custom art assets, or a way share and promote games. The best part is that you already have a distribution system to share your work: the StarCraft II Arcade. It has built-in models, sounds, APIs, etc., so you can immediately focus on creating games rather than relying on custom-made assets. Question: What made you want to make games with the StarCraft II editor?Īnswer: In my opinion, the StarCraft II editor is the most accessible way to create video games. I also created all kinds of games, puzzles, and mazes for my school's newsletter, long before I had access to a computer and learned to program. We regularly played a paper game where each player had to quickly draw the next component of the machine until there was no more space on the page. Question: Do you have any examples of the paper or card games you made?Īnswer: I introduced the concept of Rube Goldberg contraptions to my circle of friends.
I have a passion for computer programming and playing video games so video game design is the perfect creative outlet. Question: How did you get started in game design?Īnswer: I’ve always been compelled to create games, but it used to be games on paper or games with a deck of cards.
