Acknowledgments
This book was made possible by the generous support and mentorship of many people among my professional and personal networks. I'm grateful to the editorial team at Computers and Composition Digital Press, including Patrick Berry, Amber Buck, and Tim Lockridge, for helping me work through the prototypes and many revisions of this project. Special thanks to Tim Lockridge for supporting my coding inquiries and encouraging me to breakout of well-worn templates. Many thanks also to the two book reviewers for their helpful suggestions regarding content, video, and design. I'm also grateful to colleagues who helped me in many ways, including Dustin Edwards, Bridget Gelms, John Silvestro, Beth Caravella, Stevie Bell, Adrienne Baker, Jessica Oliveira Da Silva, and Andrea McKenzie. Also, a big-big-shoutout and thanks goes to Sarah Riddick for her razor-sharp copyediting of the book. Research and production costs were supported by several grants through York University and Canada's Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), including the Liberal Arts & Professional Studies' Minor Research Grant and the SSHRC Explore Grant. A super-massive THANK YOU goes to the many participants—from scholars to game developers—who gave their time to this project. Finally, I could only complete this project with the love and patience of Jess, Finn, and Heathcliff living by my side. Thank you and much love.
