Its NinjaSoft Games ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Its been one year since I ventured out into the wonderful world of game making. So I was thinking what better time then now to tell a story. It all started in the summer of last year. I was over at a neighbors house. They where on their computer using a program called RPG Maker 95. I toyed around with the program for a while and made a small one level game. Later that week I was searching online for RPG Make and found a copy for RPG Maker XP. I found these programs to be really fun. (its 1:35 am so if I'm babbling I'm sorry I will try to get to the point) So after toying around with RPG Maker for a little while I thought "I wonder if I could sell games I make" So I called up my friend and NinjaSoft Games was born. I over the winter holiday I searched for a game engine to use. But all I found was ones that coast money. Then I came upon a engine called FPS Creator. Although at the time I didnt have the money to get it I became fascinated with it so I joined the forums. I made some pretty dumb mistakes but I learned to fit in eventually. I met some really nice people who where kind enough to answer my questions. I joined the TGC Forums on Sun Apr 2nd 2006. After only being a member for a month or so I had learned quite a bit about the lifestyle of game creation. I was browsing thew posts and found a member named KeithC. I noticed he had a forum. So I wondered over here and signed up. The first thing I noticed here was the people where nice and accepting. I noticed people where making games with a game engine called Game Maker. So I looked it up and downloaded it. I then preceded to create a game called "Galaxy Conquer 1". If you search Ozark Games you can find it. Sadly this was not a very creative game and was not fit for the public (it was not very good) So after being told to be more creative I set out to make a game completely from scratch. (with the use of some media) I found on member (Roasted Snow) on Ozark Games to be very helpful. So in about 2 months time I finished my second game "Galaxy Conquer 2" I originally was going to attempt to sell it but decided to let it be a free game to get my name out there. Then in October of this year I finally bought FPS Creator after they fixed some bugs in it. I am currently working on a project called "Ghost Stories" for the TGC/NVIDIA competition. And that is my history in game making! and I love it!
