The Make-A-Wish foundation wanted to help grant Ezra’s wish to become the first outsider to create a new character for the game.

  1. Nice story. I used to work in games and I know anyone can get a job there if they show enthusiasm / self taught knowledge. I’ve known guys that came in a testers and within a few years got to the top -designing number one games for Sony etc. If you love games it’s a nice job.
