Dean has been exploring virtual worlds since he was six years old when he took his first adventure across the Solana Galaxy in the game Ratchet and Clank. Inspired by the many worlds he's visited, Dean decided to pursue a degree in game design to chart out some worlds of his own. During his time in school, he fell in love with videogame animation and creative writing. When he's not busy making characters come to life through his animation, he's writing about them. He loves how fictional characters are able to bring so much life to both their in-game world and the real world and he could write about them all day long. While he likes to write fun articles about his favorite games, he really enjoys talking about the deep ways games impact players through story, gameplay, and unforgettable characters. Dean likes to play many genres of games including RPG's, FPS's, and Adventure titles. He'll even admit that he absolutely loves to play Hatsune Miku from time to time.
