Announcing the launch of my new gaming company

[ccheath776]

I cant say the name because I think it is against the forum policies to post names of other companies.

I do want to put out a special thanks to the people at Turbine for finally giving me the needed inspiration to pursue a career in this line of work. Was it not for the great game mechanics and the game itself I am sure I would have not gone forward with this.

Anyway without further adew,

Announcing much to my delight the founding and begginnings of my new online gaming company.
* if you PM me I will give you the name and website. The website is not up yet but will be soon on Nov 15th.

Founded for the time being as a portal where I will place game mods for the latest games like AVP2, NWN2, and the upcoming Force Unleashed.

In the future it will also feature some of my originally designed games such as my flagship game "The Immortal" but will also be featuring "Masters of Toreadon" based on my novel "Fall of Toreadon".

Launch date is expected for April 2008. I need those 6 months to setup incorporation and write up some of the basics.

Original games will be made using the Lawmaker game engine. In the future I will switch to FURY or Unreal but I cannot afford the licenses for those yet so Lawmaker will be a good starting point. I will also be toying with XNA and some other languages. My point is to break into the gaming industry so I need to learn it all.

Background:
I am getting into the gaming world, being that I am going to school to learn how to program games. To further that cause I am doing this, making game mods and designing my own games. So that I have some kind of a demo for potential employers. If I am going to get hired by a big gaming company I want to have something to show my talents with.
Or
Perhaps someone will publish one of my games and I can start my own gaming company.

Who am I in regards to games-
I grew up in California and now live in Georgia. I have written 100's of novels, short stories, and articles since I was 10 years old with some being published.
I am very passionate, creative, and believe that all the stories i have locked up in my head can be made visual through games. I have been playing video games since I can remembers. Before where I always thought of them as a hobby, it wasn't until a few years ago I started getting the idea of working in games and some day designing my own. Working as a Chef in a resturaunt was not going to get me there. So I walked off that dead end job 96 and into a local cash register company and basically asked them to hire me which they did on the spot. Ever since then I have been educating myself and settling myself for the right time to become who I have always wanted to be. A creator.


For the sanctity of protecting the ideas of my games I cannot release information about the games that are in development until I get them copywritten.
I can tell you the names.
1. The immortal
2. Masters of Toreadon.

If you want to know more PM me.
Wish me luck and keep me in mind. In the future I will be looking for many good people to join my company if I decide to go that route.

Thanks,
CC

Ps - this is not an advertisement, just a shoutout that a member of the community was inspired by DDO to become a game creator himself in hopes that one day he will either become a game designer working for a big company like Turbine or forming my own company.
