My son works for this company here in the U.K. It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer. Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

GAME DEV PRO TIP Achievements should be about the important things in the game. Black Mesa folks got it right.
