Hello everyone.
I was an active AGS member back around 2002 as the possibly now forgotten famously annoying Squalman. I got my start with AGS and now I work in the industry currently at a AAA game publisher with 3 AAA credits under my belt.
What brought me back here was between my professional work and the small indie game dev studio I helped form, we were having conversations of how we got into gaming and I always came back to AGS as my start. I looked up and just happened to find the actual first project I released here as a kid: A cup of coffee is worth a thousand bathroom breaks. It still exists, that blew me away. I can still find my old posts on the forum. It's a little time capsule that is dear to me.
I'm all grown up now, I have my own kids half way to how old I was then. I'm a software engineering manager and architect. So much of that started here.
