Ever since I was young, I've loved video games, and the thought of being able to create my imagination through video games is surreal. I'm glad that I've been given the opportunity to follow my dreams and create something great.
About Myself
I'm a software engineer that has a love and a passion for making awesome software and video games. No matter what genre it is, no matter how much time it takes, and no matter how much hard work it is, as long as my creation makes others happy, I'm glad I was given the opportunity to make that difference. To me, making something that changes one's emotions in a positive way is the greatest feeling anyone can ask for, and when someone picks up a game I made and says "This game's super awesome! Where can I get a copy," I can never be more happy.
As a programmer and inspired game developer, I try to come up with new ideas, and then try to make those ideas come to life. If I ever want to add a new idea that seems nearly impossible, I'm going to try my hardest to make that idea come to life. There's no reward in not trying, and you'll only learn from what you attempt to achieve!
