Greetings! Or not.

GREETINGS.

I have been reading articles about games and game design and naturally, this brought me to this website. After a scan, I saw the forums and decided to learn more through actual gamers themselves.

-Introducing me, Calvin the wannabe designer.
-I am 21 years old, from Mountain View, CA.
-I am of Asian descent. I suck at math.
-I dropped out of college to start a mobile game company. That is what I currently do.

When I'm not sweating balls trying to figure out how to make ends meet, I like to play games. Some of my favorites are:

Dance Dance Revolution
Starcraft 2
Counter Strike
XCOM
Dota, Dota 2
HoN
LoL
FTL
Binding of Isaac
Super Mario, Legend of the Fallen Star
Chrono Trigger
The Pokemon series up til Diamond
Street Fighter series from super turbo to 4
Drummania

From this list, you can see I wasn't lying about the Asian part.

So yeah, thats me. An avid gamer that decided to turn it into a career. Or attempt to.

Cheers to all,

Calvin

Welcome to the forums!

What kind of mobile games do you develop?

[ZombiePlatypus]

Nice intro, Calvin. I suck at math too, but I'm white so it's more socially acceptable.

[PappaDukes]

White people who can't math are the worst kind of white.

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm the worse kind of a lot of things.

SO MANY THINGS.

Hi there Calvin and welcome!

[Vahnati]

Am I the only one who laughed at "I'm of Asian descent" and the first two games on his list were DDR and Starcraft? I can't be the only one...

Stereotypes aside, it's a decent intro. Welcome to the forums.

[PappaDukes]

Am I the only one who laughed at "I'm of Asian descent" and the first two games on his list were DDR and Starcraft? I can't be the only one...

Oh no. I laughed, on the inside. Because that's where racism belongs. Buried deep, deep down in your soul.

[Vahnati]

Psh, racism, what a joke. I laugh at it all, as is intended. If the universe didn't have a sense of humor, irony wouldn't exist to the rampant degree with which it does.

I laughed at you laughing. It's a loop now.

[RS_Calvin]

Welcome to the forums!

What kind of mobile games do you develop?

We're trying to make a combination of mass effect, world of warcraft, and clash of clans

Its a secret mix and I hope I can get a lot of feedback from this forum, as this is a game by gamers for gamers.

[Steven Hansen]

Reading this thread title, I started out excited, but then all of a sudden I wasn't. Way to toy with my emotions.

Mountain View! I know where that is!

I'm not of Asian descent and I'm (was) good at math.

Welcome!

[Jon Bloodspray]

Hi there Calvin and welcome!

what is this what are you doing





Welcome to the Forums.

[Vahnati]

I'm curious, is there a badge for having too many badges? If so, I would like to formally nominate Ol' Jon for just such an honor.

[Jon Bloodspray]

Hell, I need something to finish off this row.

[Mr. Gobbldigook]

I don't even know what you're missing at this point.


Also Welcome to the forums guy!

Are you he who is without sin? No, I didn't think so!

[Casts stone at Glowbo]

Welcome Calvin!

You could certainly discuss your game/company in places like The Arcade thread. I'm hesitant to say "Make a thread!", until your presence is a little more familiar, but the Arcade is a great place to start. Someone can correct me. I can be terrible sometimes.

[Panzadolphin56]

It's ok, I've thrown stones at her before.

[TurboKill]

Oh okay.
