Trent Reznor Quotes

Before I became a game designer, I was a software engineer.

I just wanted to make video games.

I've always wanted to get involved with designing a video game.

There are now college degrees in game design and interactive media, so if I were starting now, I would probably do that. When I started, you had to break into design from QA or programming or art, but it's really not true anymore.

I think you need to understand games to write them. There's a learning curve, just like there's a learning curve in anything. It's not precisely the same as film or television, but you're using the same muscles.

I have a couple of games I've wanted to make in the 'Tobuscus Adventures' universe.

I am interested in computers and technology, and art, photography, and design.

In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises.

Sometimes it's not always about what you can see or hear but what's under the hood of a game that's most impressive. Between those thousands and thousands of lines of code, magic happens. Sometimes the most amazing feats of gaming wizardry happen without you even noticing.

My earliest interest in game design came when I was in primary school, and my parents bought a Commodore 128 computer. I taught myself to write programs in BASIC, and then I made my own games.

When I am starting a new game, I have to program it for the Apple, because I want to get all of the markets.
