well, my name's Michael, I'm 29 years old and one of my biggest hobbies for the last years was developing software, websites and stuff.

some years ago, I developed some games based on delphi with the legendary DanJetX components and now I have found the XNA framework, which is pretty easy to deal with. but that's after you learned c# :-)
i find it pretty amazing to learn everything involved in making a game, like painting assets, making sounds and putting it all together sometime at the end.
in real life, i worked as programer for about five years and i still do so in my spare time. but sometimes life forces you to make a job that pleases you less but gives you more opportunities. so i hope all of my creativity can manifest in the late hours of my weekends and on this site you can track the progress!
