Neoscape: Techpocalypse
Why are you studying games?
I'd like for people to experience art in a very personal, hands-on way, and I think video games are the perfect vessel for that. I'd also like to provide some meaningful changes in the game industry.
Describe your favorite project made by a classmate.
Right now it's a game being developed by Masaya. I don't know its name, but it's a roleplaying game about being a congressional board in Florida! It's very fun and wacky, and a great commentary on the issues of Florida, where I happen to be from.
Describe your most embarrassing playtesting moment.
While walking past the playtest tables, I was so absorbed in watching other people play that I forgot that I was carrying a cup of tea, and nearly spilled everything.
How has the Game Center changed your thinking about games?
It's really made me appreciate programming a lot more! But aside from that, I've got some really great experiences working on teams for games and balancing creativity and demand.
What do you hope to accomplish after school?
Hopefully some nice visual design position at some game company. I'd like to climb the ranks and become an art director maybe, but I've got a long way to go!
What's the last great game you played and what's great about it?
Ghost of Tsushima! It's innovative mechanics, beautiful scenery and clean UI make it a game I enjoy coming back to. Samurai/ lone gunslinger stories have a special place in my heart.
What's your favorite New York City spot?
Right now, it's this small yubuchobap shop called Yubu! It's a great place for a quick lunch.
