Hello all! Pleasure to be here! I've been an avid gamer all my life, and in the last few years I've taken steps into the game development world. I have a bit of experience in 3D animation, I'm currently learning to 3D model (slow going as it is), and I have some passion for 2D art as well. My forte, however, is music and audio.

I have been a musician for about twenty years. I play several instruments, compose, do my own mixing and mastering, and it is something I'm always practicing and improving upon.

I work with an indie publishing company based in PA called Broken Crayon Games. I'm very much looking forward to engaging with this community!

When a gamer can't game

garigcw Blog

I haven't REALLY played a game in months.

Between having a full time job, writing music and working with Broken Crayon to help teams develop and ship their games (and a couple of my own games as well), and being a parent, I find that I just no longer have the time to indulge in my favorite hobby.

I keep up to date on news and trailers, and I see a game that I really want and think about how awesome it will be to play it, but when release time rolls around I usually have to let it pass me by.

One of my most anticipated titles was Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. I have always been a huge fan of the series, and Human Revolution set an extremely high bar that I could not wait to see Mankind Divided pass. It actually turned out okay not getting that one come release day, as I've read everywhere that the storyline drops the ball at the end. So I will wait for the inevitable "GOTY" edition and play it with all the additional story DLC at a later time (hopefully on a shiny new GPU in my PC. I'm still sluggin' by on a GTX 550 Ti).

This list of games I wish I could play goes on and on, as I am sure many people can relate to. But even without being able to play all of the titles I wish I could, building and making games (and helping others do so) feels a lot like the natural evolution of a born and bred gamer.

When Final Fantasy XV releases, however, I will be taking a week or two off from my side jobs to give it a good run.

Take care, and happy gaming.
