Hello everyone,

The primary purpose of this page is for you to learn a little about my life of video games and game development/design.

Growing up, I really enjoyed creating things, so I was naturally drawn to things such as Legos and eventually to video games like Roller Coaster Tycoon. I started with games like Mario, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, Frogger, and Golden Eye for the N64. After my brother bought a PS2, I really began to notice how much I enjoyed playing First Person Shooters. I really grew a liking to the TimeSplitters series. The multiplayer and single player in those games was just the best, in my opinion. To this day, I still play TimeSplitters 2 and 3 from time to time, which I can’t say for any other game that I started playing 10+ years ago.

As I grew older, my obsession with video games increased. This obsession finally led me to wanting to create video games. I first dabbled in video game development with a program called FPS Creator. At the time, it seemed to be an amazing tool, and I really enjoyed messing around with it. I finally got bored with FPSC and went back to just playing video games.

A few years later, I graduated as a home schooler. Before graduating though, I had already picked out a dream college. It was a college called Full Sail University. FSU is primarily known for its excellent filmography degree, but I wanted to go there for a different reason, to learn how to develop video games. FSU also has excellent online programs, so I decided I would give the school a shot. I started in the online program of Game Design back in July of 2011, and I am glad to say that I haven’t regretted that decision thus far. I have learned a lot so far, and through my portfolio, you can see how I have progressed over the years.

Thanks for reading,

Daniel
