Hi everybody, I am currently in my last year of school.

I am a South African hobbyist developer. For the past 2 years, I have churned out freeware games, like its no tomorrow. My best game so far was Roach Toaster.

I am currently working on the sequel of it and I want to sell it. It is an original turn-based strategy game.

I have a website Shotbeak Games which was self-developed by me in PHP/MySQL.

I also write for an online dev-zine called Dev.Mag. It has become increasingly popular the last issues.

I am sufficient with GML (Game Maker's Language), a bit of Java and I recently started with PHP and MySQL! I can draw (not sprite), create music, design and program.

Systems I Own:  
Keep Toasting(tm).
I strive to make original games wherever I can. Enjoy!
Original turn-based strategy!

Geez, I’ve been so awesomely busy with uni this year that I have kinda slacked down on devving (note: none at all). So yeah, I am still busy with uni and I don’t think I’ll continue devving soon. I am itching to dev something, but I can’t because, I am don’t have my PC ...
