What games were you playing back when you first started making them yourself? How about now? Do you have any games you play when you need a break from your project?
UG: It sounds like you’ve been a gamer for a long time. I do programming and design for Gnomoria and contract out art and audio as needed. I’ve been working on games professionally for almost 6 years and been on Gnomoria for about 2.5. I’ve been making games for fun since my first programming class in high school about 20 years ago. I stayed after graduating and was there for about 8 years before moving back to my current location in Long Beach, CA. I grew up southern California and moved to the Seattle area to attend DigiPen. I’m strictly Uncle Bob to my niece and nephew. Robert: I always introduce myself as Robert but I’ll answer to Rob or Bob or whatever. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Before we get to that, perhaps it would be best if we let you introduce yourself to our readers. UG: Hi Robert, or do you prefer Bob? Just so you know I’m a huge fan of your game Gnomoria. Since I’m such a big fan of this game and I think it deserves more of the spotlight, I thought I’d reach out to Robert West, or as his fans know him RoboB0b, and get his side of the story. It combines crafting, RPG elements (Leveling Skills), complex management and a fully destructible environment for your gnomes to manipulate. It’s a simple enough idea, but the depth of this game will catch you off guard. Gnomoria is a sandbox game where you indirectly control a group of gnomes by setting tasks for them to complete. For less than ten dollars, I ended up with one of my favorite games of all time. Reading the game’s description and instantly identifying with what it was trying to do, I bought my first Early Access game. A few months ago, while going through one of my several hours long perusing binges on Steam, I came across an intriguing name: Gnomoria. Considering the massive influx of indie games inundating the industry over the past few years, I think it’s the job of anyone who’d like to be considered a game journalist to help sift through the haystack to find those proverbial needles.
