I love games.
I love games so much that I wish to someday be confident in calling myself a game developer.
But I believe that it could be benificial to having some level of understanding for what makes games so good before diving straight into the deep end. How can you hope to achieve the same feelings in your own work if you don't understand the hows and whys they were so prevalent in your inspiration?
That's the point of this journal series, I want to understand why I love the games that I do, to really try to dig my hands around and analyze the different components and moving parts. I want to know how their mechanics work.
The personal goal is to play through a few of my favorite games and get myself to write down my experiences, to try to break down the elements at play. And, as a bonus, hopefully working on this series might help me imporve my writing.
