Hello all,
My name is Joe.
I've always been a huge game enthusiast since I was a little boy. I tended to direct my interest towards well written stories in video games, primarily RPG's, I was a major member of the SNES genre of games such as the classics FFII, (4) FFIII, (6) Chrono Trigger, Lufia, and I could go on for hours.
I was awarded a degree in Mechanical Engineering from ISU 2 years ago and made a career path out of it. But due to my increasing desire to make something I know I would be truly proud of I decided to come to Scirra to start programming games.
I still work as an engineer to make a living, but I hope to gain financial independence with the game a small group of friends and myself are currently working on. I am doing the grunt programming, while my more artistic friend is working on graphic design. We hope to have a fully functional prototype to present by mid year 2013.
I look forward to all the help I can get in the forums from those of you on here. And thank you for inspiring me to do what I know I will truly love in game development.
Regards,
Joe
