My name is Luka Horvat and love games. When I was a little kid I got s SNES. SNES totaly rulez.







I got totaly into gaming since then. When I got my first computer I was interested on how the games were made and everything. Because of my big interest in computers I became the computer master for my friends. I knew everything. Ok many stuff :P



Then I bought a book about starting programming and all and after some time I started making them. You will find my "game" somewhere in the Feedback forum in a while .

I have been playing games as long as I can remember. When I was 10 or 11, I saved up enough money to buy a Vic-20, and taught myself to program, first in basic, then Assembly. Back in those days, we bought magazines with the source code, typed them in and then ran them to play games, before I could afford a cassette(!) tape reader.



Ever since then, I've been playing and making (well, trying to make) games. By day, I program point-of-sale systems for a national retailer, and by night, I lurk in forums and work on my own little games. I have worked (part-time) on some mobile and web-based games.



I'll post shortly with information about my Zombie Horror Roguelike, "When Zombies Attack!". It was originally supposed to be a 7-day roguelike (for the 2009 7DRL competition), but instead, took me about 60 days to complete.



I have a bloggy type thing here, where I post random stuff, short fiction and other random stuff:

Now I use Flash, and try to make original (read: weird) games when I feel like it, and when I got enough spare time to develop them.



I'll second everyone out there on the quality of SNES/Genesis era games, but my favorite title is the gameboy version of Zelda (the first one, the DX edition was just pointless)





Actually, I still wonder how they manage to make such a perfect game on such limited hardware



I also enjoy fighting games, as they can provide endless hours of fun !

I'm a gameplay programmer working for one of the studios in Australia. I also like tinkering around with engine-related stuff in my free time, which is what draws me to these forums



My favourite games:





Plus Metroid, Diablo 1, Quake 1, TF2, Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, Syndicate.. and Zelda 2 (which nobody else seemed to like but me!)



I'm interested in adventure games/RPGs in particular though.. in the same vein as the old Sierra 'quest' games. I love how a major chunk of the writing on something like Quest for Glory was on describing the world. You could click on almost anything on the screen, and there'd be a quirky/funny or interesting comment about it.

My name is Rishav.

I guess I too have been bit by the delusional bug of believing that I can make a better agme than most AAA studios out there, and so I have picked up game dev as a new hobby. At this moment, I am a complete newb. No idea of how to get started, how to code etc.

Hopefully, I'll learn some tricks in here.



thanks and regards

I'm a short story author (mostly fantasy, with a bit of a gothic bent) who got into gaming at a very young age- I was in my first proper PnP game when I was nine or so. I love anything to do with the imagination, and part of the reason I'm here is to cure a nasty case of writer's block that is threatening my rent next month.



I'm up for discussing just about anything and just seeing how things go. I got started, video game-wise, on the old AD&D Gold Box games, so if anyone has anything D&D related to introduce me to (IRC, or maybe just a group in the Seattle area) please do let me know!
