• I am willing to take risks in life, in games, and in-game making
• I am okay with my game failing, If every game was a success there would be more successful games than hairs on my head every day
• I am willing to put myself out there, be uncomfortable, be unsure, and be scared. While making games I am putting my own design out in the world for people to judge, critique, and analyze.

Games are for everyone
