I'm a soon to be college student who's always dreamed about making my own games. I just knew what I wanted to do was make games. My first game was Sonic the Hedgehog, when I was one, and I've been playing them seriously ever since. And by seriously, I mean 100% speed runs of games that capture my attention.
In pursuit of my dream, I've taught myself how to draw, write, and play music. Unfortunately, my talents are fairly limited thus far. But I'm working on that ;)
Also, like almost every gamer out there, I've planned my own games for years. A more accurate description would be dozens of crazy ideas that are either idiotic or inspired. Which is which isn't my choice though. It all depends on each gamer's interpretation of what they're playing. So we'll see what I manage to create.
