Q: Do you have any specific "rituals" you do when building (i.e. listneing to music, drinking a certain drink, etc.)?

A: I ALWAYS listen to music, and I love to livestream while building, it forces me to be on task and get more done

Q: What/Who inspired you to become a Game Developer?

A: Nothing really inspired me to be a game developer, I just loved the feeling of having thousands of people playing what I've done, and enjoying it.

Q: In your opinion, what's more important? A clever game title, or a clever game picture?

A: A clever game title is more important because all a game picture needs is some bright colors to stand out.

Q: What tips would you give to the average player that wants to be successful?

A: If you want to be a successful game developer you need three things.

     a) Scripting knowledge

     b) Some minor ability to build, at least

     c) Time

Q: What do you feel is more important? Building, or Scripting? Why?

A: Scripting is more important because it keeps the game flowing smoothly. Would you rather play an ugly game thats fun, or just stare at a broken pretty game?
