Gamer and Game Developer both Professionally and Personally

Hello, my name is Zoe and I usually go by Conquest or Contquest online. A little about myself is that I am a college student majoring in Game Development. I hope to graduate soon and join the industry as a writer or somewhere related in that field. I would not say I am the best at any fields of game development in particular but they are all skills I have been practicing in both school and outside of class time. Writing has always been a passion of mine, so I’d like to say that’s the area I’d excel in.

Some trivia about myself:

  • I am more of an intermediate gamer. I like playing games casually but I can also spend a whole weekend trying to finish a game. I have a lot of mobile games (some left unplayed) and I have a large unplayed game library that is not mobile games.
  • I like story-driven games with heavy focus on characters. Some of my favorites: are the Ace Attorney trilogy, Mass Effect trilogy, Dragon Age series, Fire Emblem series (Awakening, Fates, and Three Houses), Danganronpa series, Undertale, Stardew Valley, and Transistor.
  • As a writer, I have a lot of stories left in “work-in-progress”, none have been formally published (yet).

The reason why I started a blog is to see my progress and display to the world as an effort to both put a name out there and for personal record of my improvement. Of course, this blog, as indicated, is more for personal use. Meaning these are project are not related to school work or work done for a professional institute. The work here can be used in portfolio when I apply for a career but most of the work here is done with a personal goal in mind. That goal can range from practicing a skill or wanting to translate an idea to a more physical plane. Thus this blog is more of a hobbyist blog rather than a professional portfolio or development blog that you’d see from someone actually working in the industry.
