Week 1 Intro

Hello everyone! I am Kae, and I am a senior majoring in Creative Media Industries.  I am taking this course as part of my Digital Game Design and Culture Certificate. However, I also want to take this class because I want to learn as much as I can about video games and how they work. I want to be a video game writer in the future, so learning as much as I can help me in the future. I also am just a HUGE video game nerd and love to not only play video games but see how they work. As you can see, I do have two games uploaded on my page already because I took Dr. S's Intro to Game Development class last semester. I highly recommend it was so much fun! (Even if the coding was scary at times) I had so much fun creating those games that it has only rooted my desire to create more video games deeper. 

As far as what kind of games I play, I really play a variety of them. I like classic  FPS games like COD, Valorant, and Apex, but I also strategy games like the Civilization series. I will say my all-time favorite genre is the open-world RPG. I am currently re-playing my way through the Batman Arkham Series, and love other games such as Elden Ring and Dragon Age Inquisition. Assassins Creed is another good one. My favorite of that series is Odyssey (Kassandra is the best hero of the two and I stand by that) I also am a huge fan of story-based games. My all-time favorite is The Last Of Us series. And yes that includes the sequel. Anyone can fight me if they disagree that Part ll was a great game. :) Anyway, I could talk all day about the games I have played and enjoyed, and really just any video game-related topic in general. 

I am really looking forward to this semester! I cannot wait to work with you all!
