Hi I'm Emrah founder of Zbam Games which is an independent game company located at Istanbul / Turkey. I'm also founder of an indie community called Game Developers @Turkey ( GDT as short).
I'm actually an industrial engineer but I've been in to digital world since I was at high school. So during university years I started web programming ( flash rules at that time ) and 3d modelling. After I graduate I made a big decision and reject to work as an engineer. Instead I chased my dream job and tried lots of things
I made 3d modelling for couple of years and then tired of waiting for rendering and switched back to web programming. After couple of years at digital agencies I get sick of advertisement and jumped to mobile gaming. I've >10 years experience in programming but I started game development just 2 years ago. First year passed with doing freelance jobs and second year is developing my own game... what a mistake
When I decided to start developing games I founded GDT also. It was a facebook group back then ( it still is ) and had 30 members. Now it is the biggest game developer community in Turkey which has over 1000 members. We organize meetups, online game jams, conferances and try to learn a lot from each other.
