Hey everyone! Here's a little about me. I am currently a sophomore of computer science at UTK, and I have been working on my game Seed of Andromeda for a little less than a year now. I have no plans on stopping! I have made various other 2d games before SOA but have never finished them or released them to the public. I've been programming for almost three years now, and get better every day! Also I like to play drums and rock climb. Yep that's about it.
