Introduce Yourself!

[SBKT]

Hey, I'm SBKT from another forum and I tend to be a real jerk there. Newbie trauma, etcetera. I'll be nice this time.

I'm from some site called International Friend Code Alliance. The owner said HEY THIS LOOKS AWESOME, so I checked it out, and was like, Wow, and said, I gotta join, and, yeah.

Hi.

[BigGoronSword]

Let's see, introducing myself...my name is Marco but everybody tends to just call me BGS, I first found out about Aquaria when I visited GameTrailers yesterday. I'm 20 years old (will turn 21 in 15 days ), and I've had a lot of forum experience being a mod of the #1 Zelda fan site/forum on the net (ZeldaUniverse.net). Ok, sorry for plugging ZU, but it's a little fact that I'm proud of  I'm originally from the Dominican Republic (moved to the U.S. when I was 2.5 years old) and right now I'm living in Boston (w00t!).

Fun fact: This is what I look like and my favorite color is green.

I'm xander.  I come from the IV forums in peace.  Hi, shineygerbil.

I teach computers in an elementary school, run a small fencing academy in Reno, Nevada, and like to spend time with my wife.  I came to these forums to find out if there was going to be a Mac version.  Since the devs seem open to the idea, I think I will stick around for a while.  Is there somewhere that I can wipe my feet and hang my coat and hat?

[shinygerbil]

Heh, got here before you, xander :)

I'm sure your post count will skyrocket before long, especially if a Mac version is forthcoming!

[Ian]

I'm Ian, I'm the younger, hipper brother of Alec. I helped out a (tiny) bit on Aquaria, and I've made games with Alec in the past (nim-2 anyone?) I made the watermanstudios.com website a while back and animated a trailer for episode 8.  I also wrote a webcomic back which I've been too busy awesome to update (http://www.ninj4comic.com)

...and yeah.  That kinda sounded like a resume. But Aquaria IS pretty fun, so you should check it out when it comes out =P

[Bart]

Good day,

my name is Bart, I'm 24 years old and from the great little country that is the Netherlands. :p
I want to make games, but I'm still not sure in which field of expertise I will specialize in. I've composed a couple of short songs for guitar, and at the moment I'm alternating between animating sprites and teaching myself C++.
I've been busy with animating a spider(maybe not the best thing to start off with, but it's coming along very nicely I think) and learning pointers. Teaching my brain to accept and handle the this keyword and such.
I also play guitar(mostly classical) and listen to all sorts of music; from classical composers to death metal, and from triphop/ambient to breakcore(whatever defines Venetian Snares).
Thank you for reading,

Bart

Hey,

My name is Thomas Grochowiak and I'm starting indie game developer myself. I'm studying Polish literature, while trying to share the free time between my lovely girlfriend and my working on my project.
Currently I'm finishing a sort of original strategy game about magical duels - you can chaeck it on www.getmagi.com if you like.

I've came to this website after checking the info on the IGF awards on some shareware-related journal. I must say that I'm most impressed by what I saw. I know how hard it is to create a game with limited resorces and team and Aquaria seems to be an awesome production. Thumbs up for you guys.

Games like this really make me hold some hope in the indie games developments - you won't see such beautiful creations developed for the AAA marke this days.

[SteveK]

Sup.

I just noticed this company after IGF last week, but from what I see you guys are doing awesome work.  Just the trailer was enough to make me want to buy Aquaria.

I'm an indie developer, going to college for Computer Science.  Feel free to check out my site, www.indreams-studios.com.  Not much there though, we're an unmotivated company I guess you could say.

This simulation game gives you a chance to drive rover to explore Mars.You could search for some valuable thread objects,such as sphere-like grains or "blueberries", regarded as the proof of water on Mars.You could get the news thread only if the rover contacts the objects.Then you could send these news to the earth,NASA will pay you back as a reward.

My favorites include movies and games and everything containing design elements.My MSN Account is chinagameproducer2004@hotmail.com. Nice to communicate with you!

[Delphy]

Heya all,

I'm Delphy.  You probably don't know me from such sites as Relicnews (the forums for Relic Entertainment, of Company of Heroes, Dawn of War and Homeworld 1 and 2 fame), or ModTheSims2 (one of the largest sims 2 modding sites on the planet).

I've modded a lot of games in my time, written tools and game engines and generally like innovative and inspirational things but I get bored easily.

I came here via the defcon site and blog, loved the trailer, and voila.

[Hiro]

Hi.

I'm Geoffrey Fendall from New Zealand (I think I'm the only one here from so far, right?  )
I'm 15 but I feel that I have a really mature mind. I'm advanced a year at school and I like comics (manga), anime, games and such.
I'm also a wanna be game maker but I'm still just learning some stuff. (Right now I'm using the MMF2 demo)
I came across Aquaria because of Eternal Daughter    Great game that.

Did I forget to mention I am a guy? 

[Kal]

Hey, y'all!  Name's Kal, I'm from the Boston/Dallas area.  I really can't wait for this game to come out, it looks fantastic.  May takes too long to get here.  XD

Good luck to you both, Alec and Derek!  Keep at it!
