Introduce yourself

Hello, I am Markis, I own TianjinUniversal. I started programming back when I was 14, competing in many state and national computer programming contests.

Lately I have just been a designer and architect of programs (and working on patents for ideas I have come up with), I stopped programming for a while and I was a Math Instructor/Teacher for over a dozen years.

However, after seeing Lua 3-4 days ago, I decided to jump back in and see how far/fast I can go. So, here I come Lua and Corona SDK. Let’s get this party started and try to create some nice programs to sell, so I can finally get rich! haha

Thanks!
Markis

@mail83 - I think I’ve seen some tutorials around from you before on art stuff, is that so?

@Ken - Welcome to the community, some really interesting art there. Loving the toad licking one, would totally put up a poster of that.

@Markis - Sounds like you have a lot of experience, I hope that translates to $$$$ for you :slight_smile: [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 5909 reply_id: 114046[/import]

Hi everyone!
I have been around here for a quite long time but I have not introduced myself yet!

My name is Patryk and I live in London, UK.
I quit my job as IT Engineer (servers, networks) at the beginning of this year to work full time as a one-man band on my first game. I founded my own company YAY! Studios Ltd (http://www.yaystudios.com
I am a techie guy, games have been very important part of my life, but I can say I am a newbie in game development and last time I was programming seriously it was about 10 years ago.
I have been working on my first game since March this year. By getting deep into indie dev community, attending conferences, reading and learning A LOT from blogs, magazines, forums etc. I realised how unexperienced I am for my first big game.
I am not talking about coding which is so easy with CoronaSDK - but everything else: game design, graphics, music, marketing, monetization etc. I would say I was an indie dev zero and wanted to be a hero! :slight_smile: So I decided to take a break for about 3 weeks from my main game project and make some simple nice game.

This is how ‘Indie Zero 2 Hero’ project was born. I will be blogging about the process of making a game by wannabe indie developer :slight_smile: If you are curious how this journey ends - you can check the blog at http://www.indieZero2Hero.com or follow me on twitter http://twitter.com/PatskyPat

All the best,
Patryk

Hi guys :slight_smile:

My name is Darren and I’m currently living in Arizona. My boss has just bought a Pro subscription for some apps he wants to make and suggested I could learn about Corona by asking some questions around the forum, so here I am.

I have used other sdks in the past and hope I will not be too much of a n00b!

Look forward to being a part of your community. [import]uid: 168379 topic_id: 5909 reply_id: 117982[/import]

Hey Patryk, I was going to say I thought I’d seen you around :wink: Nice to see a proper introduction!

Welcome Darren; it’s a good community, feel free to ask “n00b” questions whenever you like, at least they’re super easy to answer :wink:

Hey there, everybody!

I’ve been messing around with Corona SDK for the last couple weeks have been crazy-impressed. As a programmer/scripter by trade (in the corporate environment), I love how much I can do in so few lines of code, not to mention that I’ve always had a soft spot for Lua.

I’ve teamed up with an artist and we are working on some mobile game projects. I plan to eventually go freelance, subsiding off some independent app/web design contracts in addition to designing games

The community seems like a great bunch of folks and I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone! Hopefully soon I’ll be able to be a resource and contributor and not just a devourer of the existing collective knowledge. :slight_smile: [import]uid: 172008 topic_id: 5909 reply_id: 121905[/import]

Hey there TozyJay- welcome to the community!

I hope you do get to be a contributor in the future, it’s a great community and “the more the merrier” is an apt way to describe that attitude around here :wink: Having friendly faces around makes it a lot more fun to participate in discussions.

+1 for Lua! [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 5909 reply_id: 121945[/import]

Hi all,

My name is Brandon and I’ve been using Corona / Lua for a few months now. My educational background is in architecture but I decided to pursue a career in game development since the economic downturn has taken such a toll on the architectural profession.

I worked with GameSalad for about a year and had some modest success with a business partner that I was working with at the time. I decided I wanted to take things a little more seriously and turned to Corona in hopes of developing a more professional product.

So, here I am. Looking forward to the chance to bounce ideas around with you all.

I’m Ryley Newsham, I live on a farm in Alberta, race motocross, and build with these blaster computers to try and make some money! I might mention I am 15, and it is my goal to never have to go work at the local food store or gas station like my friends to call a “job” so I found Corona. First app is about 98% complete, and the people I have let play it love it instantly so should be good!

I think I ask too many questions, but I am not slowing down any time soon. 15 and wide open [import]uid: 28237 topic_id: 5909 reply_id: 137000[/import]
