Life long gamer turned Dev. I created my first game in three days in June 2014 and I don't plan on slowing down. I decided at one point that I wanted to become a video game designer when I became an adult. The idea for Piko Island Studios came to me at the age of 19, but as the gods of video game design would have it, it was not my time to begin the journey. The idea remained in the back of my mind for quite some time (5 years) until I came to terms with the fact that I would never be able to afford schooling in any of the game design arts, and that if I wanted to live out my dreams of being a game designer I would have to begin the journey on my own.
