Yes the rumors are true; I am leaving Loopt to do my own venture. Loopt has been a great place to work with many awesome people but my time to shine has come. I've been creating video games ever since I was 12 years old over 15 years ago. After graduating DigiPen I was so starry eyed to make the next big thing. Then I came to realize how the game industry REALLY works: publishers, licenses, advertising... Where was the originality, the creativity, the raw passion for creating a real work of art? I left the game industry to work for Loopt, but the game industry never left me. I loved working at Loopt; helping create the next big thing as I saw it and I became an expert on programming just about every type of cell phone. Programming cell phones is the hardest, most stressful programming anyone can do: this is why it is so hard to find people willing to do the job. I've come full circle and now realize that deep down inside I am a born game creator, not a cell phone programmer no matter how good I am at it. Programming cell phones will never satisfy me the same way making an interactive work of art will. Thus I find myself at a crossroads in my life yet again and I have decided my path: Social casual web games.
