Gazza_N is an amateur game designer/programmer who also dabbles in 3D animation. He is an active (read: verbose and annoying) member of the South African Game.Dev community, and occasionally contributes to Dev.Mag, the community's monthly webzine. Having had no formal training in computer science or programming (although he has experimented with several languages), Gazza prefers to use tools and frameworks such as Game Maker and AGS to create his games. He does, however, aim to learn and understand all of the technical details behind game programming eventually, picking them up as he gains experience.

Gazza's design philosophy generally revolves around the combination of established gameplay mechanics to achieve new results.
