Hello, I'm brand-spanking new here on the forums. I found Stencyl a couple of days ago, that kind of new. I've always been interested in game development and design, and have grown up loving video games just as games, too. When I was younger I attempted to learn Blitz Basic as a language and never really got the hang of it, but would delude myself into thinking I could learn quickly to make games with friends and stuff. More recently I attempted using Unity to make a game, then quickly learned it wouldn't do what I wanted it to do(2D).
Then I got into Minecraft, and then by that I found the whole indie games scene, which lead me to finding Stencyl the other day! I'd like to stick to this and learn to make some fun games(I already have a few exciting ideas, I think).
I'm really into video game culture, I love pixel art and chiptune music. I'd say I'm a pretty creative person, I enjoy writing and taking pictures. I think I'm pretty stylish, too, and rock the skinny jeans. I like sandbox-style games the most(like Minecraft, I play that way too much, just like every other Minecraft fan) but also go for shooters and stuff like that, like Halo. Also I have a love for the Portal games that borders on unhealthy. I will be the first to tell you that the cake is a lie.
Anyways, this seems like a really friendly community that I'm excited to be a part of, and I hope to talk to you all here in the future!
