Probably around 1st grade or so. My parents would drop me off at my grandparents for the weekend occasionally, and my Grandmother and I would play her NES collection all the time. She knew all the secrets to the first Zelda and Mario 3 and taught me exactly which bushes to burn and where all the magic whistle were hidden.

Got together with a few good friends I went to college with and decided we wanted to make a game. It was a passion project as most of us could only work on it during the weekend. But we kept at it, and finally released Whispering Willows which has now been ported to about 8 different systems.

EVERYWHERE. Movies, tv shows, music, comics, manga, browsing art sites, talking with my girlfriend, working out at the gym- the list goes on and on.

Man that’s a tough one… But I guess I’d have to say Chrono Trigger. The pixel art is beautiful. The music still sounds amazing. It really sticks out to me too because it was the first game I played that had consequences for your earlier actions and multiple endings depending on when you fight the final boss.

Betrayal at house on the hill. My friends and I have played this game so many times, and yet we still haven’t encountered all the story lines. And man do I love being the betrayer.   >: )

Hmmmm. Working with the guys from the Youtube channel Super Beard Bros seems like it would be really fun! Jirard, Alex and Bret are are all so funny and professional that any project seems like it would be a blast to work on.

All the projects that I have personally made art for (Whispering Willows, The Weaponographist , Markiplier’s animated Damien video, etc.) always get a lot of praise for the art. It’s quite rewarding when you put so much of yourself into a project to know that it was all worth it.
