"You must be the change in the world
that you wish to see..."
- Mahatma Gandhi
Every industry has one. The
free-thinking rebel that redefines the rules. He says what no-one else will
say, and does what no-one else will do. Fuelled by raw passion, he seizes an
art form by the throat and drags it to its apex. What they invented, he makes
it sing. His peers hate him, but the public love his style. At once, he
intimidates and inspires - breaking down the walls that secure some yet block
others. Welcome to MDickie.com - home of the games industry's first
true 3-dimensional character! Whether he's the "hero" or the "villain" depends entirely on
your perspective...
Having
mastered every single discipline that goes into making a game (from design and
programming through to 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and even music), I've turned
a notoriously bureaucratic process into something altogether more instinctive.
It's the key to everything that's lacking in the mainstream: speed,
creativity, and economy. Even the most sophisticated of projects can be
churned out in a matter of months rather than years. They're more innovative
and creative because there's nobody to compromise my vision or question my
beliefs. And since there's only one person to pay, the end product can be
picked up for the same price as your average CD or DVD (yes, I preside over
the publishing process too!)...
All
of which fuels a revolutionary movement that entertains, educates, and
inspires in equal measure. What used to be a faceless science has become an
accessible art form that anyone can aspire to take part in. Delivering that
message is a responsibility that this website takes very seriously -
supplementing the games with a canon of insightful articles that lift the lid
on this most elusive of professions. Behold an entire empire created and
maintained effortlessly by one man. The dictionary definition of
"independence" in full effect. See if you can feel it...
