“The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they traveled through the computer. Ships, motorcycles. With the circuits like freeways. I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see. And then, one day… I got in.” Kevin Flynn - Tron: Legacy


Game Design:

"Would-be designers often ask me, “How do you become a game designer?” And the answer is easy: “Design games. Start now! Don't wait! Don't even finish this conversation! Just start designing! Go! Now!” Jesse Schell, The Art of Game Design: a book of lenses, 1

"I've never met a game designer whose only interest is games. Good game designers are passionate about the world and they are passionate about people." Daniel Cook, Chief Creative Officer, Spry Fox

“Innovative teams need to navigate ambiguous, uncertain, and often complex information spaces. What is unknown usually far outweighs what is known. In many ways it’s a journey in the fog, where the case studies haven’t been written yet… Voyages of discovery involve greater risks and more failures along the way than other endeavors. But the rewards are worth it.”Dave Grey, Sunni Brown, and James Macanufo, Gamestorming: A Playbook for Innovators, Rulebreakers and Changemakers

“Do weird and difficult things.” Masaya Matsuura 

"A good game impresses you with what you're doing. I think that's a fundamental difference - that I, as a game designer, need to recede in the background." Sid Meier   



Imagination and Play:

“For since most of our living is unconscious, play is like matchstrokes in the void, bringing into light the structures we behave by, illuminating for us, however briefly, our deep meanings” M C Richards

“Play is a phenomenon of nature and has directed the course of the world from the beginning of time: the formation of matter, its organization into living structures as well as the social behavior of man.” Manfred Eigen
