Video games are still a relatively new medium. They are different from books, paintings, and film in that the people observing the art created (the video game) interacts with it and feels as though they themselves are the ones engaging in the story. You may hear someone mention that at the end of a game Mario saves the princess, but you are more likely to hear them say “I saved the princess!”

I have been fascinated with video games since I was young and our family purchased our first Nintendo Entertainment System. I believe this medium of expression opens up new modalities to play, learn, and grow. Through video games, we are able to put ourselves into the shoes of someone very different from ourselves, in a way we would not be able to in our regular lives.

So, I love games, and the vastness of experiences that they can offer. I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, with a focus on video game and simulation design. As I go into my senior year, I will be chronicling my experiences with my capstone project. I am hoping to work on a project that directly relates to game development, but if not I will be trying to see how what I am working on and learning can be applied to game development. It should be a wild ride, lets have fun with it!
