Hey, I've been posting a bit already then spotted this board exists!
I'm Dave, a 32 y/old software engineer. I graduated University as a games designer but couldn't get into the mainstream gaming market so have been doing R&D since. I've worked in everything from telecoms, email encryption, information security, video streaming, data analytics to online gambling (only game related work I've done as a career!), and I program in a dozen different languages.
Ive always had a passion for making games, and whilst at University I created some very simplistic multiplayer Web based games that had about 1000 active players a month. Unfortunately I retired them when I started full time work as I wasn't generating revenue on them and had no time with a full time day job to keep them going.
Now I mainly just hobby program, and recently I have been rewriting my old work in html5/ccs3 to make them more relevant again. I had been writing a tile engine and mapper when I stumbled on the latest info on RMMV being javascript based and got all excited about how I could cut corners and use it instead. I'd been playing with RPG Maker since Don Miguel's 2000 translation but hadn't really found a use for it at the time.
Hoping to have a lot of fun here, share ideas and meet cool people. So hello all!
