[Haighstrom]

Name (i.e. What you want people calling you to your face):
Simon

Coming from
London

What I does:
I work in tax, so except for a bit of VBA, programming is hobby time only.

I mostly use Game Maker as it's quick and easy and I'm always busy, but prefer C#/XNA when I have the time. When I was younger I used to use Liberty BASIC. I'd really like to learn to use something that can be embedded in a browser, e.g. Flixel.

Some of the things I've worked on:
I've managed to finish very few games (and have uploaded fewer still), but here are a couple of entries to LD I submitted:
LD17
MiniLD 14

Here's my blog which I've been using to post about my big project, but I decided to put it on hold for a while until I actually complete a few games!


TIGJam participation:
I think I'll be mostly working on my own stuff, but may try and get involved with the 3 hour jams if there are any themes that take my fancy. It's my first jam so I'm not sure what to expect!

What I want out of TIGjam:
I want to complete some old games I started but never finished, maybe make a 3 hour jam game or two, and meet some people from the Indie scene.

[BorisTheBrave]

Name (i.e. What you want people calling you to your face):
Boris (or Adam)

Coming from
London

What I does:
C++ financial software, professionally.

For fun, I jazz around with Flash (been doing it since the bad old days of AS2), and get ludicrously obsessed over Box2D and physics in general. For a while I maintained Box2DFlash, though it's basically dead now.

Some of the things I've worked on:
I virtually never finish anything on my own time, so basically what I've done for previous TigJams. Here's two (of "four") from TIGJam UK 3
Terminal Frame
White Knight

TIGJam participation:
Smashing out AS3 games, and play around with other technologies. Give physics advice to others.

What I want out of TIGjam:
Learn how to use Unity. Make a game that actually looks pretty (this will require help). Actually finish things (I have less than 50% success rate even at jams).

[Hayden Scott-Baron]

Name:
Dock (also answer to Hayden)

Coming from:
Cambridge

What I does:
Full-time indie game dev.

Some of the things I've worked on:
various Ludum Dare games
Tumbledrop
LostWinds (Wii)
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
Thrillville 1+2

TIGJam participation:
Making some games in Construct, Renpy and maybe some stuff in Unity. I'd like to contribute art to people's games, especially Flixel and Unity.

What I want out of TIGjam:
Finish some games in a state that I'd be happy to share.

Some of the things I've worked on:
I released Hoshi last year (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=12638)
Bits and pieces that aren't really finished. I'm one of those "not wonderful at finishing" types, unfortunately.
I am working on a game for the Versus compo as well: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=17489

TIGJam participation:
Write some games! Talk with some folk about writing games! Write some games with other folk!
Maybe evaluate some other people's Versus entries in exchange for their thoughts on my own.

What I want out of TIGjam:
Learn some things, finish some games, make some friends.

[Anthony Hart-Jones]

Further to my earlier post, I'll be the one dressed like a cold-war spy in a fedora, overcoat and sunglasses.  I have also let my beard fill out a bit from its earlier neat goatee, so expect an all-over short beard instead.

See you all tomorrow...
