Game Developer, etc.

- Experienced programmer (30+ years) and excellent proofreader. - I've created/written over a dozen video games and apps for PC and XBox. I've created several of my own web sites, one of which includes a tutorial for beginners who want to learn how to program/make games of their own. I'm very familiar with software for image/photo editing, sound/music editing, and model creation. I have an AAS in Robotics and Automated Systems Technology. I work as an Elec/Mech maintenance technician which requires electrical logic wiring knowledge and programming of industrial machines (PLC 'ladder' logic and CNC programming). I've interfaced machines through RS-232 and wrote the CNC code for the machines to execute. I use AutoCAD to draw Elec/Mech prints and to design models.

XBox 360 Indie game I developed for XBox Live Indie Games

Note: This product is no longer available on the XBox service at (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Scare-Me/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025855035c) because Microsoft discontinued the XBox Indie Games channel back in 2017. However, a quick Google search will provide verification of the project though, and myself as the developer (WolRon). You can also check out the Facebook page here:

Note that you must copy the entire url above EXACTLY to get to MY page due to there being several other "scare me" type pages on Facebook.

Scare Me - XBox 360 game

A couple of examples of some of the work I've done in AutoCAD. One is a 3D model of a previous house I owned. The other is an electrical schematic for the logic used on a machine in my workplace.

Fun little game for you to play (Pitfall 2)

Article snippet for Retro Gamer magazine about my version of the classic game:

PITFALL HARRY IS BACK IN PIXELS AGAIN, EVER SEARCHING THE TREASURE THAT'LL MAKE HIM RICH

PITFALL II
David Crane's original game Pitfall! (starring Pitfall Harry) set the gaming world alight when it was released way back in 1982 for the humble Atari 2600 (and other machines), but it's the improved sequel that gets the remake treatment, being (arguably) the better and more complete game.

Starting off in a similar fashion to the first installment...
