At times life can be tough. I can't speak for anyone else, but what I can say is the life of pursuing Game Design is difficult. During these tough times however, I do my best to keep a healthy mind.

Not to mention, life in general can be challenging. But all of this is okay because what keeps me moving, is the same thing that keeps me alive. It's my Lord; Jesus Christ and my faith in him. Whether you're a believer or not is fine, I'll love you the same. I'm just so happy to feel his strength reside within me. He gives me the skills needed to do what I do and he gives me the undying courage to keep pursuing my dreams, because who I am, is who I was born to be; a game designer.
I know some may say that gun-toting marauders and sabre wielding soldiers isn't the most christian-Esq thing. But it's alright, because it's not. However, I do believe there can be something positive gained from having a clean fun time and in that, I believe the Lord is giving me a chance to shed a positive light into the gaming industry. Wouldn't the world be more at peace if we could resolve our conflicts through social recreation, such as gaming?
One of the things that excite me the most about fantasy is it's escapism from the terrible things that happen in everyday life. I do feel it's important to acknowledge those things, but it's great to have a way to get your mind focused in the right place if needed. I truly hope that someday my games can reach out to many people and help them, whether it be for escapism or pure fun. Luckily I'm aiming to succeed at both!
