One of the things I do is build video games.

I’m going to start putting together some design ideas in the form of game walkthroughs (as if the games actually worked). This format will allow me to capture and convey the type of game experience I want to put together. I’m making these games for me, because I want to play them. I have no illusions about being able to sell them or make any money (although the trend lately towards “Indy” games is encouraging).
