Back in 2001, about 20 or 25 students , including me, were fortunate enough to take the very first Game Design class at the University of Central Florida. Mr. Christopher Stapleton and Mr. Erick Dyke were the masterminds behind the creation of this college course. They taught me what game design really is like. But while reading the blogs today, I found out Erick Dyke has died of cancer. He was a great person inside and outside of class. He even took all the Game Design students to his company, n-Space (the first game company I visited). He will be missed; he will always be one of my main role models in the world of videogames.

Aproximadamente 20 o 25 estudiantes en el 2001, incluyendo yo, tuvimos la suerte de tomar la primerita clase de Diseño de Juegos en la Universidad del Centro de la Florida. El Sr. Christopher Stapleton y el Sr. Erick Dyke fueron las personas responsables por la creación de este curso universitario. Ellos me enseñaron lo que es en realidad el diseño de juegos. Pero mientras que leía las bitácoras hoy, me enteré que Erick Dyke falleció de cancer.  Él fue una gran persona dentro y fuera de clase. Hasta llevó a los estudiantes de Diseño de Juegos a su compañía n-Space, la primera compañía de juegos que visité. Lo extrañaremos; él siempre será uno de mis principales modelos de conducta en el mundo de los videojuegos.
