My ambitions

Ever since me and my brother started making games together, so many years ago, I’ve felt that it’s what I want to do.
Story telling is also something I’ve realized I’m into. I’ve been drawing comics, and want to start doing that again too. But the creating of stories and interactive experiences are the two pillars of my true desires.
Why they feel separate still is because I don’t think games necessarily are story telling. In a way, they are, of course. But not in the same way as a book.
A game doesn’t need a story, a game can be only about what you do. About the interactivity.
Like Tetris. There’s nothing there but interactivity.

I believe that what connects all my desires are the creation of things. New things.
Not assembling existing things, not copying things. Coming up with new things.
I’ve studied programming to be able to do something more than work only for the money. I want to like my job.
And I want to be able to take time for my own projects, and my family.

Starting my own business is going to feel like the next step, eventually. But I’m not there yet.
Possibly, joining a team that makes me feel that I can contribute and get to vent my creativity will be sufficient.
Getting to have something to say about what I do will always be important to make me feel like a part of something.
