After moving to Honolulu I learned of a small game dev near campus called Aloha Island that had been given a grant to develop edutainment games for the Nintendo DS.

The intent was to create a game that would teach vocabulary and grammar to grade school kids. This was an intriguing idea and I joined their team as a tester.

The final result was Cosmos Chaos, an epic role-playing and problem-solving adventure that gave me a taste of that serious gaming thing I've been hearing about.
