I'm setting out on the very first steps of my journey of becoming a game designer. First I have to get used to PC gaming (still working on it). Then I want to download and try out a couple of mods (done), and see if I can figure out how they work (not yet--and not any time soon if my level of frustration is any indication). Once that's done, I plan to create some mods of my own (not for a long time yet) so I can test out some ideas and, eventually, make my own games (light years away). I'm a writer, so I could approach game design from that direction, but mods sound like fun and I'd like to play around with modding some.
