Mentor Meeting with Greg

Had my first meeting with my mentor Greg. It was really helpful to get the perspective of someone who does game design full time and runs a company that designs game. He was able to share a bit of his process and it was very insightful.

I was getting a bit into the rabbit hole of what altruism is/means to different people, and realized it’s actually like a big philosophical debate. In fact, just looking up the definition of altruism I saw different “requirements” as to what altruism actually means, like on a scale. And I talked about this a bit with Sarah and Mimi, where depending what the definition is, it’s not very clear what is considered “selflessness”.

Talking with Greg made me realize (even more) how important it is for me to narrow scope and determine what I actually want to make. I was feeling like I had to “figure out” altruism before I decided my final game, but he encouraged me to figure out what kind of game I wanted to make, and then find ways to create altruism (generosity,kindness,etc) within that. And then even more narrowly, figure out one key mechanic (ie in Mario the main one is jumping). I think the reason I was feeling overwhelmed prototyping is because I hadn’t nailed down the framework of the game, or any mechanics. Therefore there were too many variables on how it would go. Feeling a lot more excited to prototype now.

He also said FOLLOW THE FUN which I love!

  7. I have realized that over the course of building a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to come to understand that, in every real estate transaction, a payment is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the commission payment. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by means of doing a good agent’s task. In doing so, they expend their money as well as time to conduct, as best they might, the tasks of an broker. Those tasks include disclosing the home by way of marketing, showing the home to buyers, developing a sense of buyer desperation in order to trigger an offer, organizing home inspections, managing qualification assessments with the bank, supervising maintenance, and aiding the closing of the deal.
