About Me!

6:12 pm About Me

Hello world! Welcome to my blog, “Game Design Theory”. Here, I intend to post regular commentary regarding articles about game design, how certain mechanics and engines have evolved through the years, and more. At the end of the day, I hope to spark some interest within you about the many areas within video games, and just how extensive this community has become in just the past few years alone.
I’d like to start by describing a bit about myself, my personal life, and the reasons why I’ve chosen both drawing and game design as career paths. I’d like to believe that I’ve always had an affinity towards the creative, the unnatural, and the fantastically unrealistic. As an introvert, it was wildly seldom seen for me to actively help shape this reality, and not one of my own design. While a large majority of my peers are content with their social lives, creating and maintaining new friendships, I’ve made great strides within isolation. It’s in those moments of browsing the internet or running through old games in the dead of dusk that really started to push the creative narrative for me. The courses that I’ve taken throughout my time here at UW Whitewater have all been somewhat geared towards different aspects of game design and world building, such as figure drawing and 3D modeling/animation classes.
I chose these career paths because like I said above, I’ve always loved creating new worlds, manifesting new stories for others to enjoy, but moreover, I’ve always found profound enjoyment in watching a project progress from a mental thought to a physical game, drawing, or work. This blog, I believe, will be just one more creative outlet for this endeavor.
I intend to post updates every Monday and Wednesday before 5PM (CST), but due to the rigor and demand from my last year of classes in college, that schedule may have to be pushed around a bit in the future. Regardless if there has to be a change, I will make sure to post an update here at least 24 hours in advance.
With that, I will wrap everything up. I really hope you enjoy the coming updates and posts, and wish you a great rest of your day!
-Ethan
