The Winding Road of a Gaming Addict

The Winding Road of a Gaming Addict

For over 35 years, I've lived and breathed games from middle school days. I cut my teeth at scrappy startups before the gaming giants ruled the world. I managed to achieve as CTO , some notables such as 'Dungeon & Fighters'(Online action RPG) and 'We Make Price'(Social Commerce). I tried hard and failed hard. After 18 years as CTO at a game dev company that felt like home, I set off on a new adventure.  

I've always loved this saying: "Where there is a will, there is a way." I took it to mean that conviction drives purpose, and kindred spirits unite on shared paths. So I met unbelievably achieving like-minded people , but has been trapped in the closed circle. Now I am making further steps to openness. 

Now at 50, I remain a gaming addict, as Confucius would say. Have I unlocked life's secrets? Discerned the way of the world? No, but I know this: I must create delight. With blockchain's trust and AI's imagination, I dream of games never played. 

The Leap of Faith 

Making something new begins with 10% of the vision. Rare geniuses may see half. I start with the spark of an idea, build 10% of a world, and step into the unknown. Based on what I find, I either fill in the rest of the picture or abandon the 10% in disappointment. But I've always been able to see 40-60% further - that's the leap of faith required to build. When I glimpse the future's thrilling potential, I must chase it. This is who I am, after decades refining the craft of experience. To pour passion into creative work is profound happiness!

When Dreams Call, I Follow

I can't abandon the gaming path, though I've felt the pull of burnout. Like quicksand, the more I struggle to leave, the deeper it draws me in. But I must embrace this calling. With self-care and drive, no dream is impossible. Such wonder can be built! I'll follow this winding road, create joy, guide loved ones, help people - that's my purpose as long as I'm here. 

I used to lament having too many ideas and too little time. I has been obsessed only by illusions. But I'm foolishly hungry, imaginatively inclined. You are safe invest in me! 

The Future of Play 

To build next-gen games that delight, AI planning takes center stage. Even visionary directors can't foresee everything. But AI can statistically fill the gaps, learning from gaming's rich history. Master toolmakers will craft systems for turning ideas into plans, with AI offering insight. We need AI innovation scientists or algorithms that unlock gameplay genius. For AI accountability, we must provide clear direction and assess its capabilities wisely. Because, unclear directions or unfulfilled capabilities could not lead us to the goal.  As time passes, all will be clear and fulfilled! We must be prepared! As AI progresses, the human role will be just prompting dreams. Let's stretch our imagination muscles daily and give AI thought-provoking tasks! I am developing AI tools to do that! I don't believe only I can do that. I believe I can do something different and useful for game development. I will open when I feel 10% satisfied.

Dreaming Wide, Moving Forward 

I hoped AI would let me instantly manifest the games of my dreams. The tech isn't there yet. I feel unsettled, like jaywalking as cars race by. To focus, I need direction and worldview. I'll study AI, build creator tools for my dream games, and entertain wild ideas! Let's connect if you also dream. I want to meet, collaborate, and imagine together. I'm meeting incredible minds at AGI Town In Seoul. Let's band together and prosper! I'll do my part.

Wishing you wild success on the winding road. Peace and play!
