Member Bios and Skill Sets

[Ohio Game Alex]

Subject: Member Bios and Skill Sets

We are already starting to talk to people about projects and we need a
master list of everybody's skill sets, (i.e. Coding languages,
Business management, Game projects, education etc.) When we are
talking to people, it would be much better if we can tell them what we
already have the capability of doing. And we can also determine where
we need to recruit.

Please do this in a Mini-Resume format rather than posting your full
resume, leave off contact info as we already have your email. Just
copy paste the below and then fill it in and post.

Hey Devin,

No one has used the Unreal Engine yet at my school. My plan was to use
it for my game demo at CCAD but I still didn't know it well enough.
Due to time constraints, I had to use the engine made in Dark Basic to
implement objects into the world my teacher coded. Been reviewing the
video tutorials the Unreal site provided and plan to make a game with
it in the future. I do not know anyone as of yet that uses the Unreal
Engine but I could ask around. If you have more questions, please feel
free top e-mail me if you like. I would love to help out anyway I can.

[Devin Moore]

Thanks. If you know anyone else at CCAD with gaming development
interests, feel free to direct them here for active discussion. I am
certain that CCAD will eventually provide many talented game people
and opportunities to our group.

Brian Bradley
Gahanna, Ohio


I am currently pursuing a Bachelors in Computer Science from OSU. I
have had some exposure to VB, Jave and Actionscript.

I was in Devin's CIT120 class where I had my first experience with
game making. That was a very fun class. It made me think that someday
I might be able to work in video game development.

Anyway, I have been lurking in the shadows of your group's site and
finally thought I should say hi. I don't know what I can offer to the
group. I have very limited coding skills and I am a 29 year old full
time student with a wife and mortgage, so my time is limited. But, if
I see an opportunity to help, I will speak up.

Brian

Good to see you guys, stay tuned for lots of great stuff coming up.
