S-aas Episode 4: Nate Gross

Episode 4 of Super Awesome Artist Show is up!
The guest is Nate Gross of Outcast Games and the creator of Pit of War.
I am very proud of this interview for its quality thanks to Nate.




It all began when my friend Maki shared the link to Pit of War on her FB page saying her friend made a game. I immediately reacted to its cover art which was rich and so full of life. I asked her who the friend was and became FB friends with Nate. The art of this online game struck me like a war hammer to my head. I was very impressed and wanted to know more about the creator (s) and the making of the game.
Nate was so kind in letting me interview him even though he is super busy managing and maintaining the game. I am grateful and also glad that I kicked my shy butt to talk to him.

I really like that Nate was honest and genuine in his answers to my questions. I really like that he told the story about his job search. I also like the part where he talks about his philosophy of game making. I read all this and felt like I found a new oil well. I AM RICH! I AM RICH!

I think every single person has an interesting story to tell when asked to talk about his/her life. Everyone is unique, every life is its original. By asking the right questions, you can extract the concentration of interesting-ness (don't care, I make up words).
S-aas allows me to ask questions to interesting people, extract interesting juices and share them with whoever may enjoy them.
