[Jazzman]

I'm Jazzman, which is a nickname from school.

I'm currently developing Theoria and joined to look for more feedback.

[Huero]

Hey, folks. I'm Huero.
Can't do very much of anything yet, though I am helping on concepts for Wonderbros.
Hoping to learn some more coding beyond my rudimentary skills in C#, though.

Welcome everyone!

Hey, I'm Pat Kemp. I'm 25 and I live in Seattle. I'm currently contracting at Microsoft working on games, but I like to make Flash games in my free time.

[jakobrogert]

Hi. My name is Jakob B Rogert. I'm obligatorially introducing myself. I'm running Digital Agitation with a few friends in sweden, while teaching game design at Gotland University department of game design and computer graphics.

We're currently working on an art project and a wargame for a swedish independent games competition run by gameplayer.se. In the past, we've developed a dungeoncrawl digital board game called Azida Keep and a commercially published title called Prom Queen, inspired by the princess maker games. Our website.

I'm a nethack addict in terms of play and development and my main interest is in making game systems which can propel narratives during play (randomly generated, meaningful narrative).

My skillset is primarily academic and industry-lenient game design, but I'm usually doing production, programming and prototyping as well.

[perceptic]

Perceptic here, I go by quite a few handle/internet monikers but whatevs. I have been hanging around but never really IN the community so yeah here it is.

[noonat]

Well hello there! Allow me to introduce myself.

I've been hooked on game development since I was a wee lad, when I discovered the code for a snake game in our Atari manual. Eventually graduated to C when my dad brought home an 8086, but QuakeC was when things really got fun for me.

Unfortunately, the mods I worked on over the years failed far more than they succeeded, as mods tend to do. I moved into 3D engine development, and though I learned a lot and created a lot, the there's-always-something-more-to-do scope of developing big 3D engines eventually ground my motivation into a fine dust.

I entered LD10 on a whim a couple years later, and BAM! Sucked back in. Discovering Ludum Dare, sites like this, and games like The Underside really restored my love for game development. Thanks, guys.

I'm working on games whenever I can sneak them in around my day job, and loving every minute of it.

[Brice]

Hey everyone.  My name is Brice, founder of BreakIntoGamesCareer.com.  I work for a big game company, I love making games and also helping others realize their dreams of getting into the industry.  I'm an indie game fan and love the work every here does.  Cheers!

[C.A. Silbereisen]

Hey! 
I'm Christopher and I'm an experimental  musician (http://www.myspace.com/visormuzack) and wannabe game developer from Vienna, Austria. I've made some extremely shitty games with ASCII graphics around 04/05. Now I've made made a slightly shitty game with sub-8bit graphics called Pinknoise, which I'm going to post about in the feedback section of this forum very soon.

I've been playing "indie" games since a few years now (even though I didn't know the term back then). My favorite indie games are: Spelunky, Cave Story (who woulda thought), Dwarf Fortress, Braid, Nikujin, as well as all of Cactus's shmups and all of Kenta Cho's games. My favorite gaming system is the SNES (ah, the memories) and my favorite game for it is either Donkey Kong Country 2 or Secret Of Mana. I'm also ginger.

[Wander]

i am wander.

i am a grumpy old man who likes to make art and drink scotch.

i have been trying to make video games since before there were TVs.  my first engine was called "gravity" and i used stuff called "wood" and "rope" instead of game pads and cable. (just joking)

this forum is really great and to have found it was quite a treat.

cheers,
wander.

[Grandi]

Hey everyone!

I'm 15 years old student from Finland. I've programmed for about six years, mostly with C++ as it has all those features I need. I've been making all kind of things such as 2D games, website layouts and own programming languages. However, I've barely gotten anything cool enough to present.

My name's Joakim Sandberg. Yeah, try to pronounce that right.

Ingen problem. Jag har pluggat svenska på gymnasiet :)

[Chigley]

Hello, nice to meet you all. 

I actually joined this illustrious forum a while back, then got lost for awhile and just now wandered back.  I'm a long time programer, with many commercial games under my belt, and right now, I'm working for a large, faceless corporation doing low level MMOG server code.  When I'm not doing that, I spend my time making my own games, and dreaming about freedom and skipping through the green grass over there, on the other side.

I guess I'm an Indie developer trapped in a regular (shackled) developers body.

I hope I can contribute to this community

[Zapparo]

Hi guys my name is Ionut ... well more like Ionuzz that's the correct way to pronounce it just like the zz in PIZZA , anyway i'm a programmer/writer(must polish my english)/designer soon to be get a bachelor degree in automated control (if i can pass a few late exams), how f. useless is that in game development , so far i've done a couple of crappy flash games, won an ubisoft game design compo at my college and one over at indielib, interactive toy compo 2. Now i'm working on an webcomic (no i'm not an artist, i just write them) and a browser game but i'll talk about that later when i'll have something to show.

[Binurah]

Hi there,

I missed to introduce myself before the first post (shame!), so better late than never:
My name is Philipp, I have been working as a 3D artist for quite a while now, both on industry and indie games. You can basicly check my whole history at http://www.flipmode.conlost.org , which probably tells more than I could type here anyway;)

 

[Davioware]

Hey guys, I've been hanging out here for a while, I don't post much but I check the site frequently.

Anyways, I'm Davioware, a guy who loves making and playing indie games. My close friends call me good at everything (no, i'm not a cocky bastard, that's just what i've been told. ), as I do art, coding, and music for my games. I had my hands on a snes ever since I was 5 years old. The first games which really touched me in this era were Metal Warriors,

 Super Mario All stars, Yoshi Island,
and a couple of others.

I loved the N64. Super Mario 64 was like the most epic game I ever played when i was a toddler. Then came the rare games which I adored, Banjo Kazooie and tooie. Ocarina of time was also epically awesome, and it's one of the most memorable games I played.

I also took in my fill of pc releases: The C&C series, Worms, and total annihilation were some of my favorites.

And now I make Games, and  follow the indie scene! Cheers.

[R]

R here
a lurker of this site
with a vague interest in making an rpg game.
so I decided to make an account

like playing arcade games with joysticks and light guns
rpgs and puzzles are my favorite
I suck with game controllers

I have never beaten a game on my own
so that makes me a casual gamer at best.

I envy hardcore gamers and programmers.

[Rumrusher]

hello I'm a artist doodler who loves to find humor and fun in any scenario.
my grammar and spelling is may be a tad off due to a C average in English, but the use of spell checkers seem to help even it out most of the time. argh?

[ionside]

Hello, I'm Robert, I've already been posting around here, but thought I better introduce myself correctly; I plan on posting on the Announcements thread soon. 

I've been in the industry for 8 years now, working in studios and such as an animator. Have also done some level design and building, asset creation.... blah blah.

first started 'Playing' with programming when the C64's first came out, was crap at it and went the art creation route for a long while. Had a lot of different jobs before coming into the game industry.
Working for 'commercial' studios has put the fire in my belly to go independent. I've been freelancing for a little more than a year now, and trying my hardest to become a full time indie dev, learning Python, a little C++, and using MMF2 for the moment.

I'm 34, have 2 daughters, and can't drink anywhere near as much as I used to.

[bolin]

Hello, my name is Juan Andrés (that's spanish) and I live in the jungles of Uruguay, South America (ok, actually there aren't any jungles here). I've been a lurker for some months now and decided to finally register.
I'm a programmer (check avatar for great programmer art!) and have worked on tiny stupid games when not trying to become a computer engineer.
Currently I'm working on a point-and-click adventure game using python+pygame and hopefully I might enter it into an anual videogame contest that's being held here for the past 4 or years or so.

That's all for now I guess.

[boomlinde]

Hey hey hey!
I'm Linde, and I mostly deal with music and sound design, but I also have a strong interest in game design and programming in general, especially for old computer hardware (more specifically, I'm digging into the Commodore 64 hardware right now, trying to make a simple platform game).

I play a bunch of games, but maybe not as much as I would like to. Right now I'm spending my game time playing Zenith, a freeware clone of The Sentinel.

I joined up mostly to be able to comment projects I find interesting, but also maybe to manage a little dev. log.
