I'm 23, got my bachelors in computer and information systems and I've always wanted to make games so here I am. I've been living in China as an English teacher for the past year and just arrived back in that states about a month ago. Probably going back to China in the near future cause I loved it!
Currently working on my first game: Dragon's Dawn
Synopsis
In the kingdom of Sparowdale mythical creatures, humans, elves, dwarves and
all other races live alongside each other, peacefully coexisting... however it
wasn't always like that. Long ago the different races constantly fought, vying
for land, resources and power. One race however, did not desire to involve
themselves in these petty feuds. The dragons had decided to recluse themselves
and avoid getting involved. The battle raged on and eventually began to
threaten the very existence of the races and of the land itself. Seeing the
destruction that all of these races had caused, the dragons knew that they
could not avoid intervening any longer. They tried to calm the races and
convince them to co-exist, however they refused to heed the warning of the
dragons. Seeing now that the other races could not be reasoned with, the
dragons defeated all of them in one mighty show of power. The other races,
seeing that they did not have the power to defeat them, surrendered to the
dragons and agreed to stop their fighting. A few hundred years passed and the
races all were able to coexist peacefully. However fear and resentment had
continued to build towards the dragons that had subdued all of the races. They
began to develop weapons and magic that was powerful enough the defeat the
dragons, and one day they declared war. This war raged on for nearly a century
but as the dragons numbers decreased, so did their ability to fight back.
They went into hiding and the other races began searching the earth,
hunting down every last one. Eventually dragons were believed to have gone
extinct and the races began to return to their normal lives, agreeing to live
together and end the wars. A few millennia have passed and the tale became
legend and eventually, most didn't even know of the legend. However a powerful
mage, calling himself Basrak the Avenger now threatens the lives of everyone
in order to obtain retribution for the dragons slain so long ago. Basrak has
recruited many who agree that the races must be punished and they roam the
kingdom calling themselves peacekeepers, bullying and abusing the citizens who
are too weak to fight back.
Theo (the MC) has just stumbled upon an ancient shrine of some kind and inside
discovers an egg. He brings home the egg and when it hatches, a dragon emerges
from inside, who he names Soteria. Theo and Soteria set out on an adventure to
see the world but their path keeps leading them towards Basrak, what will
become of Theo and what evils will he have to face in his travels.

Anyways, love the site! It's such a great resource and so many people offering stuff for free and only wanting to be credited is really amazing! Hopefully I'll be able to post some more info and a demo of the game in the not too distant future.
