Over the years that I've been reviewing for "OtakuDante's Gaming Inferno" I've made many friends with the PR staff members, and development crews who make the games that you, and I play. Both indie developers, and retail developers alike have been thankful for the critiques that I have provided, and in turn I have been thankful for their generosity. Some of them have even sent emails containing very nice "Thank You!" messages expressing their gratitude for my hard work. It is this appreciation, and earned friendship that remains part of the reason as to why I continue to do what I do. I absolutely love the people who make the gaming industry so grand, and love to play my role in spreading the word on their products as well. Game developers such as Fabian Florez of "Gentleman Squid Studios" are the epitome of what a game developer should be in regards to the appreciation of fans, and journalists. This year Fabian continued with his gracious nature by sending me yet another digital greeting card wishing me, my family, and my friends the best this holiday season. The artistic image, and well wishes definitely brought a smile to my face. It's not often that I'm gifted such a greeting from any developer a year, or even years after I've reviewed their game.
Seeing as Fabian, and "Gentleman Squid Studios" took the time out of their day to wish me well this holiday season I figured I would share with you the personal greeting card that was sent to me by him. I think you'll appreciate it as much as I did. In closing though I hope that other developers take note of this humble indie developer's kind nature. We as part of the gaming industry do not have to be simply straightforward with one another when it comes review related interactions. We may be journalists, we may be PRs, and we may be developers, but at the end of the day we all pour hard work into what we do. I think if we could grasp this fact it would be easier to work with one another, and even make new friends as I have done with Fabian Florez, and the many other developers and PR that I now call friends.
