"Hello there! I'm Long, an aspiring game programmer and designer with a passion for making games. From my earliest days playing games on consoles like PS2, Wii, Nintendo DS, and PC gaming, I've always been drawn to games that tell incredible stories. This love for storytelling has shaped who I am today.
As a child, I enjoyed a wide range of games, including titles such as Dark Cloud, Typing of The Dead, Resident Evil 4-5, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Pokemon, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Fallout New Vegas, Metal Gear Solid and Monster Hunter being a particular favorite(it is GOATED). These experiences taught me the power of stories and how it can positively shape our beliefs and outlook.
The gaming industry gave me these wonderful memories, whether it be coming over to a friend's house and enjoy Mario Party or crying over how Lucius will have to leave his brothers in Final Fantasy 15. I am now I'm determined to pay it forward by contributing to the creation of the very experience I have felt and continue to feel all these years.
I have had multiple experience in game jams and with personal projects so I am well adapted to making games and know the process of designing and developing games. I also know how to write game design document and know its importance as the first step in any game dev process.
Here is an example of a game design document that I helped put together for a game jam: https://gray-potato-6dc.notion.site/Rise-of-the-Cult-GDD-b05a11f7c7b74812a4759705faae5daa
I consider myself a fast learner and a dedicated workaholic, especially when it comes to pursuing my passion for developing and designing video games. My ultimate dream is to craft a gaming experience with its own captivating story and fun game play of my own within a game someday.
