Introductions...

Hello People, thanks for stopping by.

This is your host, Chris Kagel.

Host of what, you ask? Let me explain.

I am a video game designer. I have worked at many different studios in many different design capacities for many years. Many, many, many. The realization recently dawned on me that at the ripe old age of 30, I have still never made the game I really want to make.

Don't get me wrong, I am fiercely proud of the titles I have made (well, most of them...), but I still want that one game. The one game I can look at as my masterpiece. The one that defines me as a designer.

In an effort to help other designers (and keep myself focused), I have decided to start a design blog. You should expect it to consist of the usual blog fare: reviews, rants, etc. It will also chronicle the steps I take, triumphant and otherwise, towards making what I consider to be the Ultimate Game.

Enjoy,
chris
