On the design process:
As noted above, design ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, and at anytime. We take great pride in
leveraging not only ideas from our team, but also from our community and fans. We o en start with a high
level vision of what the game should be, and more importantly, how it should play. For example, if we decide
that the game should be ???fast and ?¬‚ uid,??? then everyone on the team can integrate that philosophy into their
work. When ge ing into speci?¬? c designs, we utilize the pod structure I previously described, which includes
rapid brainstorming and prototyping to generate the most successful ideas.
On the next ?¬? ve years:
I??™ve had the good fortune of working with a fantastic team and creating some amazingly fun strategy games.
I hope to continue having the opportunity to work with talented teams and collaborate on innovative design,
and perhaps even someday get the chance to lead my own team to success.
Advice to designers:
Be passionate and be persistent. Play games from all genres and platforms, read about the industry on a
daily basis, and constantly search for internships or entry-level positions.
