Dedication

To my parents

Thanks for teaching me about hard work and giving me your love and support throughout the years. The sacrifices you have made for my education and well-being are deeply appreciated. Who would have guessed that all those video games and early computers would lead to this?

To my wife and children

Thanks for your incredible patience and support throughout this project, for your understanding that the long hours and demands of the video industry do not diminish my love and desire to spend more time with you. You are the single most important part of my life.

To my extended family

Your guidance and support have helped with the many twists in life’s road. Thanks for helping me get on my feet and stay there.
