Well hello Thar!
« on: September 21, 2009, 03:13:15 AM »
I guess greetings are in order.

My name is Kristoffer, I'm a university student from Sweden and the closest thing to a mayor I would have would be chemical-biology. Prior to joining the university I studied Linux System management and CCNA, all and all I'd have been a full-blown BOFH had I only found somewhere to work. As far back as I can remember I've been making up stories in fantasy worlds, it didn't take long for me to migrate from paper and pen to a keyboard when I got my hands on computers and started to learn the basics of coding.

I believe the first attempt I made at creating my own game must've been when I was around 15 and it ended miserably when I realised not a single person was ever going to play it. Since then I've made several attempts on creating games, nowadays mostly browserbased, however I never did finish one because I always seemed to overestimate my ability to do things on my own. So I took a break from coding all together about a year ago yet ideas wouldn't stop coming. I wrote some of them down, started combining them and just the other week I decided to give it a try again. However this time I will try to neither do everything at once nor by my self.

Saving all the rubbish, I joined here because I Don't want this game to fail. And I'll be needed some people to test it out once it starts closing in on post-dev too, won't I? :)

If there's something I've forgot to write just pop a question and I'll do my best to answer it.

Thanks for the welcomes. So far everything is going much more smoothly then I though they would, I do hope it continues that way even though I'm excepting more troubles ahead.

The game I'm coding I've dubed "Horizons Dawn" and a more detailed description of the game will be found at the main site in due time. Generally it will be a Steampunk roleplayinggame with strong strategy influence at some levels, even if I reckon most of the players will have their focus on their own characters. The goal is to in the end be able to have mostly everything between tending your own, or someone else's, farm to waging war on neighbouring 'realms' to loot what other people leave behind.

But then again, it's still in such an early stage that things can change from one day to another. :)
