About Ryan Pitney

I wish life was like a video game."[VIDEO GAMES & GAME DESIGN] Games have always been a part of my life no matter what stage I have been in so far. From my early childhood to college years, games have always been there right with me, helping me learn, assisting me in hard times, and allowing me to experience beautiful events and stories I never thought possible. Now, I wish to do this for a future generation, through making games like those I experienced long ago and still experience today. With numerous ideas of games in my head, you will likely find me thinking about game concepts in my mind, from individual characters, stories, cutscenes, to the actual gameplay mechanics and balance itself. I pride myself on learning the most I can out of games I play, so I want to allow players of games I create the same experience.[BUSINESS ADVENTURES] Today, I aspire to go out into the corporate world and learn all I can about how business is conducted. Learning how I can improve on myself in the workplace while also influencing the environment in a positive manner. Eventually, I plan on founding my own company in game design, though I have a lot of work to do before I feel confident in my idea, especially since I lack any experience out in the work force, and only have skills from my educational career.[OUTSIDE THE OFFICE] Like everyone else on this planet, I'm a normal human too. I have hobbies like gaming (obviously!), hiking, traveling, listening to music, watching shows, and an unending curiosity that normally leads me to spending lots of time learning the most I can about a topic (usually a game I enjoy at the time). To elaborate on traveling, I plan on going to both the Czech Republic and Japan to get a better understanding of the cultures there and the overall world that we live in! After learning everything thus far in school, the IB Diploma Programme, and University, I now plan to adventure out into the world and experience it firsthand to see its beauty, and what a experience I hope for it to be!
