  1. hi

  2. I know we make games. but...

  3. Why do you make games?

  4. No, really.

  5. Sometimes we can't make out what we are here for.

  6. So stop and think. What do you really want from

    making games?

  7. Experiences

  8. Feels

  9. Emotions

  10. Messages

  11. Then...

  12. are you making those games? Why?

  13. Life can be really crappy.

  14. Working in the game industry can suck really hard too

  15. But no powerful experience is made out of thin air

    You have a lot baggage as a playful and imperfect human. You have been through a lot. And survived. So...

  16. So why not make a game about that shitty moment

    in your life?

  17. That nasty break up

  18. That awful night

  19. Your awful boss

  20. The journey with a health condition

  21. Direct this unhappiness into something good

  22. As good as a game

  23. The game you wanted to make

  24. It won't be an easy journey It is not easy

    to face your demons. It isn't a comfortable spot to be in.

  25. It won't be an easy journey But it will also

    be insightful. And besides yourself, you may also help others.

  26. You are a game developer. Make Games.
