What is your history with game creation and the game making community?
I've been developing games since I was 10, I was first attracted to the older EnterBrain products and progressed onwards from there. As for the gaming community I've been a global moderator for a few sites about 7 years ago, helped create tutorials on how to break into this industry and what to study to progress your career.
What is your field of expertise in game making?
I generally try to stay the jack-of-all-trades, but master them all (Ambitious :crazy: ). If I was to stay which was my strong points, probably in the design stage and overall managing of people to keep up the workload. I studied web-design for two years, then progressed onto games development for another two. During which I was heavily into music and drawing/3D modelling.
How did you find the forums?
It's always been on my favourites list for a few years but I never signed up. Not sure why, I guess I just signed up so I can really get down into the development process, make a few friends/team mates, lurk in mIRC and generally have some fun.
What kind of creative talents do you have (outside of game creation)?
I mentioned above about the musical side of me, apart from that is general heavy fiction writing, song writing (Lyrics and guitar licks), digital/pencil artist (Small concepts).
What are your hobbies or interests?
I enjoy a vast amount of literature, currently reading the Necronomicon by H.P. Lovecraft which I can't believe I haven't read before. As for that, maintaining a steady social life and work ethic in university. I am a firm Satanist and anything occult interests me greatly.
What kind of music do you listen to?
Depressive black metal, blackened death metal and classical. Sometimes I may venture out a little, but not very often.
What level of education are you in? What are you studying in college?
Batchelor of Arts (BA) in Game Design and Production Management (University) in Dundee, Scotland. It's a four-year course, but a heck of a lot cheaper than down in London (Around £1,800 instead of £3,800-£9000). I live away from home which is in Surrey, England.
