Hello! My name is Marvin Hawkins, a hobby game developer from Chicago. Everyone who wants to make games probably faced that moment of truth. The moment that you decide to stop enjoying them as a consumer and want to actually create them. I’m sure that sounds like one of those TV art school commercials, but its true. Mine was at a very early age. I was playing Super Mario Brothers 3, and decided I want to do this. As a 5 year old child I was not sure what ‘it’ was. Not knowing how games were made, I spent much of my youth making little board games out of shoe boxes. I would also spend whole saturdays creating concepts for games, drawing levels, etc. My parents were slightly terrified. ‘People don’t get paid for making games’ The older I got, the more that I understood that games were made by people. In high school, I learned how to program in visual basic, and started tinkering with level design tools. I knew that I was hooked.
