I like maps. It’s been that way since I was young. I enjoyed viewing maps of places that I knew well, and I also liked looking at maps of places I’ve never been and wondered what it was like there. I would draw maps of imaginary places that I’d dreamt up, and I naturally began playing in that world. I mostly played alone, but when I was about 10, during recess I began making up rules to play with classmates in those maps. This was the beginning of my path as a game designer.
