The best way to do something you haven’t done before is just to throw yourself into it and do it, find out the hard way . . . If I knew how to do it, it wouldn’t be interesting. I find that when I’ve done something a number of times, when I’m what I suppose people would call a master at a certain discipline . . . I want to find a new challenge. I wanted to make a video game my whole life. I didn’t let anything stop me. Greg Broadmore on working on augmented reality game Dr. Grordbort's Invaders, GamesBeat website, 18 February 2019
