The real value of games comes not from their ability to simulate reality seamlessly, but from the space between that simulation and the real world, which allows for reflection and meaning.

I aim to create games that absorb players into an activity while also allowing them to reflect on their engagement and the nature of their goals.

Games can be both hypnotic and reflective, providing opportunities for players to analyze their experiences and improve their skills through self-reflection.

Games serve as an aesthetic form of thinking and doing, enabling players to pursue goals, solve problems, and understand systems in an engaging way.

Games exist at the intersection of logic and emotion, combining mathematical thinking with artistic expression to create meaningful experiences. Games are the aesthetic form of thinking and doing, occupying an important overlap between engineering and art.

Games like Red Dead Redemption allow players to explore at their leisure, which is a compelling aspect of immersive experiences.

The idea of being in a simulation raises questions about consciousness and the nature of reality, which are complex and not easily answered.

In VR, the focus should be on creating potential stories where users can interact and discover the core values of the narrative.

Our design philosophy, called 'social first', prioritizes community features and social interactions before integrating game mechanics.
