Before I started using C#, I aspired to use Flash as a game developer.
Also about this story written in Why I decided to be a game developer section.

I regularly post my developments on my YouTube channel or write a devlog for White Spirit on my blog.

Why I decided to be a game developer

Since childhood, I have been interested in computers.
Then, when I was in elementary school, I met a game on the Internet.
That was Super Mario Bros.(1985) by Nintendo.

I fell in love with that platform game.
That was moved as much as I pressed, and the unique smooth and dynamic movements made a big impression onto me.

Since that day, I've started to express Mario through many things I can do myself.
But at that time, all that was on the computer was Paint and PowerPoint.

However, for me, which was pure, PowerPoint was a tool for creating moving pictures,
and even with my father's help, I can able to print out my artwork with Paint on a printer.
so I started to feel confident in making it myself.

One day I started to be interested in Flash, which allows me to play games right on the Internet.
In particular, I began to create a Dodge mouse in PowerPoint.
Dodge mouse's rule is simple : move the mouse to the point of arrival without touching the wall to finish.

Meanwhile, thanks to Flash's unique gradients that PowerPoint can't express, I started Flash by find the reason why can't express like it.

When I was using Flash, I was active in the Flash community called Flash365.

One day, a tutorial by 'y=f(x)' was posted on Flash365.
That tutorial included the source file, basics of a platform game that moves left and right and jumps.

Discovering this tutorial was a decisive event that completely turned my destiny into a game developer.
This gave me the opportunity to make a platform game without any programming expertise.

I've made a lot from this source ever since.
Then one day, I modified the numbers in the source code.
It was just a curiosity, I was wondering how this code worked.

At that time, I was surprised that the behavior changed when I changed the numbers .
So I started to be interested in this, and I started modifying the code one by one.

In the midst of creating many things with Flash, I began to thinking and discovering the essence of creating games, which motivated me to being a game developer.

The person I admire is...
Shigeru Miyamoto, who helped me grow up the dream of a game developer by watching Mario,
and 'y=f(x)' giving me the opportunity to make platform game without decisive expertise and be interested in programming to me.

...so it's been 12 years now.

Also...

Animation is not my major, but I study and practice drawing for making games.
When drawing, I use a program called Krita.
