About William Quick

Will Quick is a game player, journalist, and content creator currently living in Spain. He's spent a lot of time working as a video editor and graphic designer for sites like Guide Fall and plans to continue his efforts for TheGamer. When he's not playing or writing, he's drawing comics and making puns.

I've been writing about games and pop culture for over 5 years now with a focus on indie games. Since I started, I've had the opportunity to learn a lot about the industry, conduct research investigations, and most important, interview developers of all sorts. TheGamer is a great platform for me to share my thoughts and ideas while getting a chance to read the writings of others which broaden my perspective.

If I had to pick an expertise, I'd say it would be the diversity and development of independent games. In many ways, access to software like Unreal Engine and Unity has made indie development much more viable with pre-packaged tools like RPG Maker highlighting the creativity of a lot of folks. That being said, there will likely be a huge shift in indie development with Unity's new download fee that will go into effect at the start of 2024. In response, some dev teams will be taking their titles off the market to avoid this fee.

Industry Focus

As a writer, I like to share my thoughts on games in various opinion pieces. When possible, I like to highlight indie devs and teams that are focusing mostly on development so I can shine a light on their efforts. the most fun I have is when I get to interview these folks and hear the excitement they have for their projects.

Favorite Games

If it looks fun, I'll give it a chance but the following are some of my favorites...
- Breath Of Fire 2
- Wuppo
- Crash Bandicoot 2
- Spyro The Dragon 3
- Enter The Gungeon

Proudest Gaming Achievement

In terms of gaming work, my proudest achievement was getting the chance to have video interviews with Maggie Robertson (Lady Dimitrescu, RE: Village) and Nick Apostolides (Leon Kennedy, RE2 and RE4 remakes). For actual gaming and off the top of my head, I'm pretty proud that I got all of the achievements in Cuphead.
