Hello WTactics people.
I want to be involved with game development. Here's a little background about myself to help you understand why:
I'm currently one year away from completing a Master's Degree in Jazz Performance. But...I don't really like jazz. I originally decided to study music in college because it seemed like the one thing I could learn about, and later have a career in, that wouldn't cause me to go insane from boredom.
But since jazz is lame, and since I have kids and consider supporting my family to be of paramount importance, and since I really really hate school (seriously), I don't think trying to become a working musician or a professor of jazz is a great plan. After months of soul searching, I've decided that the one thing I can do on a day-to-day basis that adds significant value to people is to create. I'm a creator. But I'm not good at creating things I don't care for (i.e. jazz music).
I have ALWAYS been a gamer though...at least since the first grade when I learned to play chess. So I want to create games. I settled on first attempting to create a CCG, (I know, crazy) and I have been enjoying wrestling with the various problems the CCG model and genre have which need solving.
So as of right now, my reasons for wanting to get involved are quite selfish I want to learn. I want to get experience working with a game that is still in the development stages, and I want to work with cool people and build a good network. Hopefully though, after getting involved, I'll love this project for what it is and I can be just one of the people that benefit from the entire experience...and I really need the experience since my only marketable skills are in music...and that is no way to support a family
Cheers! Can't wait to start learning about the game and providing some type of help.
