my approach
I believe every game/system is like a timepiece where all the components have a distinct purpose which work together harmoniously to achieve the best intended result. Hence, I like to design precise systems, focusing on a rich player experience with minimal compromise to functionality.
​
Scalability is important. Building up or down on the design should be hassle-free with least complications.
Clear and Straightforward. The process of game development should have fewest overlapping layers and a clear overview of the current situation.
​
Teammates = Friends. In the highly collaborative field of game development, it is important to treat fellow teammates with respect, gratitude and support.
A stitch in time, saves nine.
