Description

I am Game Developer who mostly focuses on Programming and Pixel Art but I also make Music, Stories and currently learning Drawing and Animation. Videogames, Anime and Music are my biggest passions in life. I am also a Co-Founder of videogame studio Etherlight.

History

Early history

When I was a 5-7 year old kid, I saw someone play Pokemon Yellow and my life changed forever. Ever since then, videogames have been one of my biggest passions. I've also watched anime like DBZ, Card Captor Sakura, Pokemon, and a lot others on TV ever since I was very young. It was until I was in highschool, when I rewatched Card Captor Sakura, that I realized how much I love anime and it became something very important to me. I haven't stopped watching ever since and it lead me into becoming best friends with people that now are like family. During all of my life this phenomenon has happened multiple times with other interests I had. When I was a kid I was attracted to Music, Cooking abd Drawing but never became hobbies until I was a teenager or adult and became big passions of mine.

After that

I studied Multimedia design in college to one day do animation or something audio/music related. I made some friends and learned a tiny bit of design stuff but I felt like it wasn't of much help and I ended up learning everything that I do on the Internet after graduating. One thing is for sure though, going to college changed my life, it made me who I am and more importantly it made me realize that I could become a gamedev, which lead me where I am today. After college I worked for a couple of months on a mobile game studio but ended up quiting to work on making games with friends and eventually Etherlight was born. Now, 5 years later, we are finally releasing our first game, I discovered my passion for drawing and I am working as a solo dev as well, with the hope of one day also becoming an full fledged artist and animator.
