Hello GameDev.net!
My name is Neon Black and I am new to your forums. I just wanted to say hello and to introduce myself. I am 23 (male) living in beautiful northern California just north of San Francisco. I am an avid videogame enthusiast and an aspiring game developer with some big ideas and just the right amount of naivety to start running full-speed with them!
I am looking to gain some connections here on the forums to further my development endeavors and to learn from a community of knowledgeable people. I will appreciate any and all advice from fellow gamers and developers and I hope to be a good contributor on the forums as well.
As I still have much to learn in development, I look forward to learning and growing with the community. I have a decent amount of experience programming GML for GameMaker, and I am currently wetting my feet in Unity. If anyone out there would like to collaborate or just discuss game ideas with a fellow enthusiast, feel free to PM me and we can Skype.
Cheers,
-Neon Black
