Any email that contains the words 'important' or 'urgent' never are, and annoy me to the point of not replying out of principle.

I really wanted to make a dungeon crawler, but this game came out, 'Legend of Grimrock 2,' which was, like, the perfect dungeon crawler. It basically destroyed the genre for me, and no way could I make a game that good in that genre.

'Minecraft' certainly became a huge hit, and people are telling me it's changed games. I never meant for it to do either. It's certainly flattering, and to gradually get thrust into some kind of public spotlight is interesting.

I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming.

When I was young, we didn't have indie games. We had 'garage developers' or similar terms, who were just small teams making games out of passion.

I remember disassembling and putting an old analog alarm clock together. It was a lot of fun figuring out why it still worked with that one spring missing.
