He also spoke about how to deal with clients at times where he said to study like a freak, build up a resilience becoming mentally strong, becoming a solution provider such as ideas, techniques, software, etc. Research and references where he watched all of the podcast about the game and books in order to understand how to go about the game design. Another game he designed was High bash where they went to Tokyo and took some pictures for the miniatures, as he was in charge of all design colour layout of the game, VFX concept design, thumbnails for YouTube content, art and buildings. He had to understand the backstory of the game and created area 51 inside the game.
