Hi my name is Jon..
looking forward to developing some games on here...
my love of games started with asteroids at age 8..pulling all nighters, playing non stop.. then I graduated to the C64 where I did some coding, ran a BBS called Creator's Cavern..yes I was a teenage sysop.. those were the good ole days.. My favorite game on C64 was "Lord's of Conquest"..oh and "Overlord" among many others.. when I got older I bought my first 386 and loved "Out of This World", "Hyperspeed" and Star Trek 25th anniversary... from then on I always continued to upgrade PCs (Master of Orion is my all-time favorite game) until one day I bought my first console, the N64..it was cool, but it didn't really take the place of my PC. But after I did get the PS2, then Orig xbox, and onto the 360 while my computer collected dust and couldn't run anymore games... I recently started playing games on my mac, but it's not the same. I did get a PC a few years back but that was soley for work at my studio and not really for gaming. :(
My other passion is music and I was always stopped cold when some cool music would come on during a game.. my favorites game soundtracks: Homeworld (PC), Baldurs's Gate (PC), Overlord (C64), Masters of Magic(C64), Ico (PS2), Mass Effect 3(360) and the list goes on...
although these days my gaming is waning a bit.. probably because I've now gone over to the otherside of wanting to create games (and other stuff).. so in a sense, making games is kind of like gaming to me...
Currently I do music professionally and always score music for a game whenever I can. However, I am much more interested in the creative development of games and working with people that are excited about making something great. (it's not easy to find!)
