He is also an instructor at the Art Institute of Houston teaching game design and character animation. It happens to all of us. We fall in love with an idea so much that it hurts when someone says it’s bad. Larry talks about the importance of knowing when to scrap a bad idea. Pivot in your vision if you have too.
