About myself Links

Yo, I'm Steph!

I'm over 30 years old, I grew up in the 90s playing video games and wanting to create some.
And after working as a corpo slave for 10 years, I was fed up enough that I finally found the determination to put in the work needed to produce my own games!

Childhood

Oh boy there's a lot of dark stuff in that part of my life, but fortunately things like video games, Pokemon existed to save it :D
I grew up in the ghetto ass hole of a large city, I was the "mature for your age" smart but weird and autistic loner white boi who had good grades without trying and constanly tried to be in a hidden place where nobody would bother me so I could just play my Gameboy in peace~
Back then I was already interested in video games and similar creative works enough to try and make my own things based off of universes I liked! Such as drawing and imagining concepts for my own levels, games, pokemons, characters, etc.

Teenagehood

That's when I started messing with video games on a more technical level. I messed with the Warcraft 3 editor and I played around with RPG Maker a lot. And I mean A LOT! Aside from allowing me to create a lot of cringy ass childish slop, it gave me some knowledge that was really helpful when I entered university for computer science classes later.
My grades in middle and high school kept going down, but I didn't really care, I just did the absolute bare minimum to graduate and kept focusing on what mattered to me. Then the next year I was top of my class in computer science major at college :3 That's also around that time I learned to draw, which increased my artistic and creative potential.
In that part of my life I didn't play much console games after the Gamecube. I spent a lot of all-nighters playing Melee with my best friend, but what really consumed my life back then was World of Warcraft. I played it from Burning Crusade until DragonFlight.

Adulthood

Freshly graduated from a bachelor, I start working in offices as a developer, discovering what the adult working life is like. And it's a disaster! It's all about doing what the client wants (and it doesn't want you to make cool games), with negative budgets, stressful deadlines, and hypocrit coworkers you don't like and who lie to your face every day without shame or hesitation!

It was impossible for me to find a balance between work, mental health, and life goals. I survived on "I'm managing" mode for 10 years, doing the bare minimum to not get in troubles, and feeding destructive vicious circle habits. Then I turn 35, I snap, and I leave. I have 2 years of unemployment money and free time in front of me. I need to make the best use of it that I can to avoid finding myself in another similar situation. I cannot afford to waste another year in my life again.

Thus began my game development journey.
