ABOUT VERNON WONG
years ago, I studied biotechnology. However, playing god with living microorganisms wasn\'t as much fun as it sounded; pouring clear liquids into clear liquids never gave me the satisfaction I would find from beating a raid boss with my friends. This set me on a path to discover why games truly matter, and how I can repay what games have given me.Today, I build worlds, both physically and digitally, that use our beloved games medium to convey stories, teach lessons, and inspire generations. And in creating systems and spaces that lie outside of the conventions I hold, I am able to not only surprise myself, but also my peers and my audience.I once believed that working countless hours towards a cathedral that I would never live to see was the best I could do, and I\'m ecstatic to continue proving myself wrong.
