Game design is a very fun, engaging, interesting, and sometimes taxing job, and I love doing it. I have been in game design for about 5 terms now and I have enjoyed almost every second of it. One of my favorite things in game design is honestly just coming up with ideas for games whether it be based on a predetermined topic, a quick design challenge, or just for fun. When it comes to actually making the games though I usually tend to think really big and end up biting waaaay more than i can chew which sometimes is a good thing while other times it is definitely not. In most of my games I really enjoy putting in a lot of humor where I can along with some "intentionally" badly drawn/funny art and the occasional rickroll from time to time. When it comes to the actual game part of the game though, I tend to stick to the relatively simple and straightforward types of games like platformers and bullet hells so I can spend a lot more time trying to perfect it, make sure it at least looks presentable, and create a bigger world and story within a small and simple game.
