At that time, the cliche that girls shouldn't play video games was strong, and it filled me with embarrassment. None of my friends at that point liked gaming, and I didn't want to be seen as weird for loving them. But video games were a love only I could relate to. The cool new characters I had unlocked or unique moves I learned were always on my mind. But I also wanted to show off my creations to those in my real life, something I wouldn't have done previously.īack during my young elementary school days, right as I was starting to find my passion for video games, all I wanted to do was talk about them. I would keep the park clean, build massive coasters, and keep a keen eye on every park statistic. Virtual people would come visit my theme park, and I wanted to do my best to impress them. The idea of creating something and having it play out in real time was mind blowing to me. Before this, I had never touched or even heard of simulation games. The idea of creating a theme park from scratch appealed to me in ways I didn't know were possible.
