Brand New and entering IGMC 2017

[Allan Bays]

Hello everyone!

My name is Allan Bays and I just picked up RPG Maker MV this month on the humble bundle. I've always loved RPGs more than any other genre of video game. I tried out RPG maker for the first time when I was a teenager on console but I did not really know what I was doing back then. Since then I've learned Javascript and C++ as well as some other game development platforms like Clickteam Fusion and now everything in RPG Maker makes so much more sense to me and I am loving every second of it! I also have years of experience as a Dungeon Master for D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, and 5E.

I work full time as a wholesale and inventory manager and also attend online classes part time for my major of computer science. Because of this I have less time to invest than I wish I did but I'm still entering the IGMC 2017 because to me there is absolutely no faster way to learn a new skill than to be given a deadline and competition. I can't wait to see what I'm able to make in the future and I also can't wait to try out all of the wonderful games this community creates! You are all so talented and hard working!

I have another thread in the IGMC 2017 forum if you'd like to see the progress of my first RPG Maker game.

Welcome aboard! I started out with the IGMC in 2014, and have been working on my game since. Try your best to get some quality feedback on that first entry though, as it will be invaluable for learning more about game making and the engine in general.
