Hello, my name is Mike.<\/p>\n

I’ve been an SQA Analyst, hobbyist programmer and more recently a web developer\/desktop support agent.<\/p>\n

Games have always been a part of my life, and ever since I can remember (anything) I’ve wanted to make them.<\/p>\n

I’ve initiated a few projects here and there which ultimately amounted to nothing. I’ve always shied away from creating my own art and have been shafted by really good artist friends that couldn’t get into it with the same intensity as me.<\/p>\n

Hence, my decision to opt in to a mini compo. I will be creating everything by myself with the hope that last-minute panic will kick in by the end of Saturday and I’ll be able to make something memorable, or at least a good start to something I’m comfortable with working on in the long term.<\/p>\n

I would like to thank the originators of this competition for an excuse to give my fiancee and family to take a weekend off for personal time to work on something I love, though my boss may not be so understanding.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
