Hello there. I'm Chris.
I've been visiting the forums on and off for a year or so, looking at DevLogs, mainly.
I've decided I should dive in too and here I am.
I'm a programmer person doing regular old php at day and gamedev at night.
Actually I used to work in the industry too but that adventure didn't last too long
as the company I was with went bankrupt. Whoops. Not my fault. I swear.
I started dabbling into gamedev (back then more modding, really) in 2000.
There I made my first CS maps in Hammer and they were terrible.
It's also ultimately where I got my nickname from.
Most unfortunately I have not many records of those maps anymore
Here's a screenshot of one of the more recent projects (which I ultimately didn't finish because a lack of a thing called time)
It was supposed to be a DE map for CS:GO.
I'd say I might pick it up again but past evidence shows that that won't happen.
Something older, right from my moddb profile.
Eventually I attempted to pull off a total conversion for hl2.
Of course I failed in a blazing fireball of fail.
That's when I decided I needed to learn how to code. It must have been 2009 or 2010.
At any rate. I started programming Java. Minecraft mods mostly. It was a good time and I learned a hell of a lot of things.
I made some plugins for the old hMod server mod. Next to that I started learning PHP because I needed it for maintaining
browser games in the above mentioned company.
Then, eventually, Unity crossed my way and from that point on it finally was making my own games, mostly small games.
But it was what I wanted to do from the beginning.
Truth be told, I could have been starting with this earlier but I know next to nothing about graphics pipelines.
Something I definitely want to catch up with at some point.
So there were my beginnings in making games.
Cue today.
I made a couple of jam games with friends. The latest entry being Shroud of Darkness.
Top-Down pixel puzzler with a hook...shot.
Now I intend to get an adventure project out of the door about ghosts and demons.
And a weird cult.
Anyway.
That's me.
Hello
