"Dreaming Is All I Do"

Meet Kendall Davis, the 23-year-old who landed his dream job producing Microsoft’s blockbuster Halo series — but quit to create his own indie game. 

“As good as the story was and is going to be for Halo 4, it still is a game that’s a first-person shooter where the main action you do is you shoot stuff. I just don’t see how it’s possible to tell a story, at least the way I want to tell it, with that as the dominant interaction,” [he said].

His solution? Design his own game and pitch it to Bungie, the studio that created Halo, which was starting up a new iOS games publishing wing. That game was The Last Sleeper, a story-heavy, episodic sci-fi adventure that follows a man who wakes up on an alien planet on the verge of apocalypse.
