Intro post

Who are you?

I am a game designer.

No, you're not.

 I am a game designer.

What kind of a designer?

 I am a game designer.

You mean you play games. 

 I am a game designer.

The excerpt above is from the book "The Art of Game Design" by Jesse Schell.
I want to be a game designer. I want to design games. Games are commonly misunderstood as just time wasting toys or something lesser than books or movies. This is very debatable but I would like to believe the opposite. Games are extremely powerful forms of media. Imagine giving a powerful message among a crowd of uninformed masses. I believe that this has been done by music decades ago. If music, which is a lot lesser in complexity than a game, can do it, then why can't games do it? Because games at this period lack substance. That's why.

Let me introduce myself.


I am a student of the University of the Philippines in Manila. I chose to study computer science not because of games, but because I've always preferred the ability to create, rather than modify what's already there. I know that there are medical fields where you "create" but I really hate how you are restricted to the human body. With computer science, you can probably do anything. Probably. Don't judge me. I'm still a first year student.
I come from a high school known for only picking out 240 students every year and is funded by the Department of Science and Technology, as opposed to the other high schools ran by the Department of Education. I should have taken my stay there seriously.

Satellites. These are things that orbit a greater body because of the greater body's gravitational pull. This is what I'm calling a game (right now it's still a toy but sooner or later it will become a game) I'm making right now. You could probably guess what the main characters are (hint: sun and moon).
And yes, I'm naming my blog satellite.

I may also post ramblings about college life here. Well.
Yeah.
