Yeah, so I am self-taught on everything. I did go to college, but I went to college for English, which is, I mean, technically I do. There's a lot of narrative in my game. But when I went to college, it was more for analyzing literature and not very much creative work. So I actually feel like I didn't really gain a lot of English skills from attending university.

So I will thank UCLA, though, because they have a game development club. And that's what led me to making games. Oh, wow. So in that, they have students kind of teaching each other. So in that way, I definitely got a lot of mentorship. But I've never taken a course. I've never paid to learn anything. If I don't know how to do something, I Google how to do this thing. On YouTube.

So I started just doing writing and games because that's all I knew as an English major. And then slowly I got to designing them. And I actually worked briefly for a mobile game doing some...

UI design, which is a huge aspect of my game. I just taught myself how to use Figma. In terms of Unity, I also just taught myself. I mean, coding, I had one friend. I was like, you know, about eight months ago, I was like, I need to learn how to code for this game. And I have a lot of friends who code. So I asked one of my friends to just come over and give me like a few coding lessons.
