Brenda Brathwaite Quotations

I worked at Sir-Tech, and then when I got old enough to go to college, I went to college but continued to work at Sir-Tech to put myself through college.

From initial concept to final build, 'Train' was close to a year in development. Much of this was research and letting the dynamics of the project come to the surface.

I think a game hits a high point when it provokes reactions the designer doesn't expect.

I don't remember not playing games. I think my pre-industry experience is me building LEGO houses and wishing people would go through them.

At Sir-Tech I went through the ranks, almost like an apprenticeship. I was very fortunate. The industry was smaller then, and I was able to work alongside some amazing game designers.

As a note, I never once refer to 'Train' as a game in the rules, and I also never refer to the participants as players.

I think games are a good medium for approaching any subject, particularly difficult ones, because by their very nature, they are abstract, invite interaction and allow us to confront and question things... particularly rules that we may blindly follow.

If there were two people playing, eventually those people would start flirting.

The same lessons she teaches mainstream developers will apply to adult content developers, too. Who doesn't want a bigger audience?

At the risk of sounding incredibly shallow, if you have women in a game, the men will come. A lot of the stuff that they're doing is directly targeting women.
