To be able to explain why I chose to give Games Development a go, I probably need to start at the beginning. Growing Up with Gaming So, at the beginning, there was the Big Bang ... I know, you've heard it all before, so I'll skip ahead a bit. I grew up in the 90's, when smartphones were science fiction and home gaming was a fairly new concept.  LEGO was the creative toy of choice, and TV was full of fantasy, science fiction, and hope for the future (that worked out).  Even documentaries were about discovering the world around us, not how much damage "we" as a species have done to our planet.
