Jake Schweihs outlines his goals and plans for "Project Dark Magic", a video game he is creating. He discusses his background and goals which include completing Full Sail, creating a perfect reel, and finishing a game before graduation. He then outlines the process of making a video game which includes planning, programming, art, music, testing, potential failures, and marketing. For "Dark Magic" specifically, he describes exploring magical realms, taking down leaders, upgrading skills, and borrowing powers. His plan of attack is to build a perfect team, work at a steady pace, create and test repeatedly, and launch a Kickstarter campaign.
