The Thoughts of One Game Developer

I do have lots of idea that lingers on my mind and I want to express it on the blog but it always been hampered down by the scope of the blog which revolves around independent game development. But since I'm no longer an active independent game developer, then I guess why bother limiting the scope of this blog to just independent game development? So from now on, I'm expanding the scope of this blog to cover a lot of area which gives such a flexibility and latitude to express myself.

Instead of limiting myself to talk about independent game development, I will expand myself to talk about wide area of subjects that interests me and I do have a lot of subjects that interests me. Just because I am a game developer does not necessarily mean I have to focus myself to game industry, technology and the stuff. In order to be a game developer that thinks outside the box, I have to expand my interests to cover a wide gamut of subjects to enrich my experience and to broaden my thinking horizon.

For instance, I have a difficulty in implementing relationship based gameplay in Dream City game as I don't completely sure how certain people get connected or attracted to each others. After doing some readings in human psychology and studying how subconscious mind have a greater role in making people get attracted to each others, now I have a clearer view on how to implement relationship based gameplay in the game.

So it's always a good idea to expand your interest and get to know other things as that thing can be beneficial to you in the future. There's so much thing you can learn in this world...
