About Me

Become a better game designer.

This is because I have a lot of project ideas that I want to make, and I want to have game design knowledge and experience to help me with those. I find that I can usually complete simple projects like making a fun minigame or creating custom decks of playing cards. But, for the bigger projects, ones that are too complex to be contained in my head, I would have difficulty trying to prioritize features or would get stuck when faced with technical limitations. I hope that those problems will become easier to handle as I gain more design experience.

Become a better artist.

Once, I got myself stuck in Montreal with no internet at home. All I had was my phone, my tablet, a pen stylus for the tablet, and a limited data plan. That was when I started learning to draw as a way to pass the time. Fast forward a couple of months, I continued drawing here and there, and even drew on the side while I was taking my online classes. While learning to draw is currently not a high priority for me, I am still excited for whenever I will be able to dive deep into it in the future. There are many drawings I still want to create and ideas I want to express.

Understand Japanese fluently.

I was bored during COVID-19 and, out of curiosity, went looking up how you can learn Japanese. It turns out that the path to fluency is VERY LONG and VERY ARDUOUS — but also very clear! In fact, it actually seemed very straightforward and completely doable if given the time and effort. So I decided, "why not?" It has been almost two years since then, and although I cannot yet write or speak well, my Japanese ability has been progressively improving to the point where I now feel comfortable playing certain games and watching certain movies completely in the language. Overall, it has been quite an enjoyable process. Sometimes, I think back to that night and about how casually I committed myself to this multiple thousand hour endeavor. It was truly one of the least thought out decisions of all time. Yet, I have never regretted it.

Achieve Grandmaster rank in Teamfight Tactics.

Teamfight Tactics (TFT) is a competitive multiplayer game that has almost all of the things I like in a video game, and almost none of the things I don't. Playing TFT engages me in a combination of strategic planning, probabilistic reasoning, BIG GAMBLE moments, applying lessons learned from external resources, a fun social environment, a laid-back atmosphere, and intense, high-pressure endgames. These are all various elements I see myself enjoy in other games, like Fire Emblem, Apex Legends, and Risk of Rain 2. Here, in TFT, I can experience them all in one piece. So far, I have only been able to reached Master rank in every set of TFT I've played. This is already pretty good, but I enjoy the game a lot and want to go further.

Learn music production??

I like listening to music, and creating it seems like a similar process that of my other interests, so perhaps at some point...
