Hello

Hello

My name is Wink. My history with game creation only goes back a couple years. I have hand coded some small games in javascript but found the development time to be very lengthy, not to mention the thousands of lines of code it takes to write a large game. So I started trying out some javascript frameworks they all have there advantages, and disadvantages but the development time is still lengthy with these. Then last year I found Construct 2. :biggrin: This amazing piece of software aloud me to rapidly develop html5 games with using event, and action based programing it doesn't get any easier. So now I'm trying to turn this hobby of mine into a business.

As far as my field of expertise in game making goes Iv been spending a lot of time focusing on mobile game development since it seems to be the future of gaming.

I found HBGames.org because Venetia was nice enough to come on over to scirra.com, and invite us all to enter your BUILD & WIN Construct 2 Contest.

What I hope to get out of the forum is to make some new friends, help out when I can, and hopefully learn something new.

What kind of creative talents do you have (outside of game creation)? I work as a web developer/web designer for a state newspaper were I live. I also have a strong working knowledge in server side scripting php, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, MySQL, SQL, IIS. And I'd like to believe that I am pretty good at graphics, and animation.

My hobbies, and interests are in web, and mobile based game development.

What kind of music do you listen to? Well lately Iv just been trying to "enjoy the silence". lol Which also happens to be the name of my favorite Depeche Mode song. :biggrin:

What level of education are you in? I finished college a long time ago.

Anyway that is a little bit about me. I am looking forward to meeting everyone, and becoming an active member of your community.
 
Good to have you :)

We're mainly a community of Ruby programmers because of our RPG Maker background. Must admit I've never tried 'on rails though.
 
Hi Wink, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner. Your contest entry looks ridiculous (in the super good way). Hurry and make a signature bar for it so I can advertise it in my sig :>
 
Thank you everyone :)

Venetia that's ok I know your busy with the contest. And thank you for the complement on my entry. I will try to make one of those little signature bars. Iv just been crazy busy between work, and trying to finish my game. This might sound stupid but I never made one of those little signature bars before but it doesn't look to difficult.
 

Thank you for viewing
