Hello everyone!
My name is Giacomo, I am 31 yo and I live in Italy.
I am a super fan of LucasArts and Sierra games, and graphic adventure is
the genre of game I prefer.
Thanks to a game I played, almost one year ago, which was made with AGS,
I found about the software and community, and, during the boring, infinite days of lockdown,
I decided to give a try myself and took my first steps into scripting and coding.
Before I decided to intoruce myself, I wanted to learn more and made a very little donation
to thank you for your great job, AGS is awesome and I want to learn more in order to produce my
own games.
I will soon begin a Java course certified by Oracle and the reason is
that I am probably going to lose my job; that's why I decided that I would become a programmer!
I'd wish to thank so many users who helped me understanding AGS scripts but I'd not know where to start and
neither I'd like to miss someone, so please let me give you all a special thanks because thanks to this community
I made up my mind about what kind of job I am looking for!
Actually I "work" (on payroll subsidies) as light designer and produce 3D projects for calculating light emission in the enviroment;
for my (still few) knowledges about light, I have a little dream and wish to create a module for
implementing shadow projecting (I saw Khris video on YT and, dude, that was really cool!).
I play music since I was 8 yo and I have a pretty good knowledge of it.
I can play piano, guitar and bass, drums, harps, accordion and xylophone.
I can compose and write music, but be aware that I am not a music master!
I can use GuitarPro(actually I use TuxGuitar on Linux), Pro Tools and Garage Band.
I can compose and record music with these softwares, but I am not very good at mixing instruments,
preferring writing and recording.
I offer my free help for music composing.
I have a bachelor's degree in history and I particularly studied 17th century's piracy.
Why did I study piracy? You can answer yourself! Thank you a lot, Gilbert and Co!
Maybe I can give my little help in story design concerning modern ages' piracy.
My italian is pretty good as I really like my language, so surely I can help translating english into italian.
I'm into pixel art since few months and I learned pretty well the use of aseprite for my drawing productions,
but I am not good enough to be called pixel artist yet.
With aseprite, I am also learning sprite animation and background design.
Me and my friends are trying to create our own old-style game with AGS; one of them can script better than me.
Soon I will ask for your help about somethings I need to understand for scripting.
I am very happy to meet you all!
Please, test my capacities!
Thank you,
Giacomo
