Greetings from far-northern California!
I'm Bondo, and I'm originally from Ogden, Utah, but I've lived in California for so long that I consider myself a bona-fide Californian anyway.
I've played with Adventure Game Studio off and on since way back when it was known as Adventure Creator, and had a DOS based design interface. I've never really made anything of note with it, except for an adventure game styled portfolio for school. You walked the default character around an "art museum", and when you looked at a piece, it would display it full screen.
My game design "career" has lately been spoiled by the likes of RPG Maker 200x. I've finally came to the realization that adventure games are what I grew up with, and adventure games are what I want to create. The first game idea I ever had was a Sierra style adventure game, yet I've never created one. Well, I'm a lot older now, and I have the resources... I have the technology. It's time to get back to what I meant to do in the first place.
I used to rely on the interaction editor, so I need to learn scripting from the ground up, as I see it's been removed entirely. I'm all for this decision. It makes for a cleaner, more professional interface. I've had experience with other scripting engines, namely The Elder Scrolls series modding, Megazeux, and Game Maker. I've seen some AGS code, and I feel confident that I can make it work.
I like to barbecue anything and everything. I don't draw the line at meat. You haven't lived until you've eaten barbecued asparagus, barbecued then steamed from it's own heat under some aluminum foil on a plate, with a little butter. Or corn, barbecued husk and all. Even zucchini and squash is fantastic barbecued. If you can eat it, I can barbecue it.
I take my tea either plain, or with a little milk and sugar, depending on my mood.
I was once a beer drinker, but I've given up the habit entirely. I don't smoke either.
This isn't my first time on these forums. Years and years ago, I was a child, and posted under the name "Chocobomonkey", which is a name I don't understand today. I just kind of stuck two things together and called it an internet handle. The other name, I don't remember.
