I made a couple of big games, countless little ones. Now that games are popular and every kid wants to do it, I’m always asked for advice on how to break in. I know you are not asking, but I always say the same thing.

Make your own game first. Then you will know if that’s really what you’re supposed to do or you’re just caught up in the hype. Also, no better portfolio piece than a game you finished on your own that doesn’t suck.

So you’re on the right track. I dropped out as well. If I wouldn’t have, I wouldn’t have changed gaming.

And the guy who for some reason has to belittle you to feel better about his son? I doubt he has a real close bond with the kid. He sees his son as some sort of bragging rights award. Know a lot of these families, I’m very old. They think they’ve done everything right, but they chose bragging rights over their kids true purpose and having a real connection with them. They missed out on the only truly fulfilling experience in existence.

Deep down inside he knows this and is taking it out on you. His kid probably wanted to do something creative when he was young. He squished that. That’s evil.
