Hello and welcome to my profile! If you have any questions or queries do not hesitate to contact me.

Introduction
Hello, my name is Jonathon and I am a hobbyist game developer living in West Wales. As you are undoubtedly aware I have an interest in the design and development of computer games, specifically those of the MMO (massively multiplayer online) genre.

I have joined the community to expand/contribute my knowledge in the hope that it may assist others in developing their own personal skills, giving them more confidence and understanding in their respective fields.

History
I have several years of experience within the field of game development; as a hobbyist, I created and directed a small community-based team of developers for the last two years with the goal of producing a massively multiplayer online hacking simulation.

Currently I am employed by an indie game development company based in Mattoon, Illinois as the Chief Technical Officer/Senior Programmer, developing a Sci-fi MMORPG ( massively multiplayer online role-playing game ).

Knowledge

 * C++ is my preferred high-level programming language, which I have learnt through online material, game development courses and practical application. I also have experience with C# ( C Sharp ), Visual Basic and web-based languages such as XHTML.


 * I have a little knowledge of the low-level language known as Assembly but very little practical application of it.


 * I have a fair amount of knowledge of Dx9, 10 ( DirectX ) and OpenGL APIs with some practical application in my own personal projects.


 * More specific knowledge I have acquired recently is that of the C4 Game Engine ( Developed by Terathon) and Netdog Networking API ( Developed by PX Interactive).
