My story starts unofficially as map creator for old game called Heretic 2 and level creator for Jazzjackrabbit 2. Those are small steps but it was a good start to develop games.
The official start was when I decided to modify Beats of Rage after playing and completing that beatm up game. The game allows modifications BTW. While doing that, the game was expanded by multiple coders allowing C script to be run in game. This was a huge change, not just to change my first project but my future projects as well.
After completing my first project, which is named Crime Buster a beat'm up game, I challenged myself to create fan game called Contra : Locked 'N' Loaded, which is a run n gun. It was tough but fun.
These projects gave me confidence to start creating games.
