I've always had the goal of one day making my own video game, but I haven't quite realized it... yet.
In high school, I started taking programming classes, hoping that would provide me with what I needed.
It didn't. Trying to think like a computer gets boring for me, so I didn't pursue programming beyond the first year -
though, honestly that's helped a lot with the web coding I do now.
Anyway, I do fine with the graphics, and I'm okay with writing the plots... but piecing a computer game into
something playable requires a lot of effort. There's a reason why the Big Guys use hundreds of people
in several teams to make the really impressive ones.
But then one day I happened to find a program called RPGToolkit. It was specifically designed to help people like me
make their video game ideas come to life. It's still a huge project, and my first game is still in development.
Since it's being done in my free time, and I won't get paid for it - I may never be done... but such is life.
Here's what I have so far...

This is actually the second attempt I've made at tackling this project. The first one was lost with a disappearing hard drive... all except the website I made to promote it. If you'd like to see my first attempt, Go Here. I talk more about why it's called the Jewel of Destiny: GOld Edition, and so forth.
