I've always had a soft spot for classic games because they captured my imagination as I faced personal challenges and the constant need to reinvent myself in an ever-changing world. Those experiences inspired me to break free from convention and create something that resonated with me. 

As I (still) delved deeper into game design, I discovered a renewed desire to learn and found the inspiration to create AquaVenture, a project born from a very personal place. Despite my lifelong fear of water and my inability to swim (though I've recently begun to overcome that), I felt an overwhelming urge to save people from the relentless threat of sharks. I know all too well what it feels like to be on top of one world, only to find oneself at rock bottom in another. In AquaVenture, I use a trusty submarine as my shield, symbolising my determination to explore the depths safely and rescue those in danger. 

This project became my playground. A place where I could experiment, fail, learn, and ultimately succeed. Every challenge during its development taught me something new, and I wanted to share that journey with anyone on a similar path. AquaVenture symbolises the skills and insights I've gained as a game developer and my determination to confront challenges in other areas of my life. 

As I step into a new chapter, I hope my fellow gamers realise there’s always a chance to make a splash and rescue ourselves and others.
