Hellooooo 🙂 I’m Dazza, and I’m currently at university in the UK. I’ve always loved creating beautiful things that people can play around with, that being either a small machine/toy or a program people can use. After playing Horizon Zero Dawn I was hooked not just by the story but also with the software engineering and graphics that were needed to create such a game. And from that I joined into the fandom and have been joining in with things here and there. Apart from some of my virtual photography, this is the biggest project I will have done within the fandom and can’t wait to show you what we will create.
Q&A
What is a favourite piece of work you’ve done (i.e. completed, working on, in concept), OR what is something you’ve always wanted to create for fandom?
It feels like I’ve not been in the fandom for that long, as I played HZD around April 2021, and only after listening to GAIA Cast I started to learn what fandom is and what it entails. With other things happening IRL, I have only wanted to create things like the rest of the community, so apart from my VP work, this project is a wish come true!
What are some of your favourite tropes (to read, write, draw, etc)?
I love to read stories that build up the main character, like they start from nothing and then become something amazing. I also love reading the fan-created ones with the writers’ views about LI’s in horizon, there’s so many variations it’s amazing!
What is an unexpected thing or fun fact about you?
I’m British and occasionally can use the letter “t” when saying words, like “bottle of water”, but the serious one is that I do a lot of mountain biking. I love the Peak District as there are loads of trails and amazing scenery.
What has been your favourite thing about working on this project so far?
My favorite thing so far about this project is literally just working with all of these incredible people that are pouring their hearts into this project to create something the fandom will enjoy!
