Projects By Ren Hughes

A Dark and Stormy Night
Why are you studying games?
I like telling stories, and I like the avenues games have to tell them. Not just through the written words on a screen, but through their visuals, their sound, and even their mechanics. (I'm also a bit of a jack of all trades and games let me really use that to it's full potential.)
What do you hope to accomplish after school?
My main goal is to see someone cosplay a character I wrote into a game. (Otherwise known as I want to write characters and stories people love as much as I do.)
