About Me
Hello, I am Alec. I make games using multiple different programming languages. These languages being GDScript, C#, Visual Basic and Lua. I make music in LMMS but I have experience OpenMPT. I play many different games like Minecraft (Beta 1.7.3) and Counter-Strike. I have quite a lot of experience in Source/Hammer. I also do youtube, which is where I post whatever I want (not a set subject)

History
In 2019 I discovered Unity and though it would be easy to make games. Turns out I wasn’t very good at C# so I moved on to finding another engine. I went through countless hours of google searching and tried a couple more but that didn’t work either. I was in this loop until February of 2020.
In 2020 (more specifically February) I had finally landed on Roblox because I had a little experience with it so I decided to just use that, I learned basic Lua from it, but I knew I couldn’t use a kids lego game for long. At this point I was around 10 and turned 11 in October so I had a pretty low end computer (Dell Precision M4800 to be more precise) but because of the low end computer stopping me from having good VR debugging (bundled with the fact I have a Quest 2 which sucks with PCVR unless I use the Oculus software) I decided to start saving up to get a new computer.
In 2021 I was getting better at Roblox and Lua to the point I started doing other Lua projects like a Lua server. I even started looking at other Lua game engines so I have more control over where my games go. I tried to stick to other engines but I kept coming back to Roblox, I even looked into trying Unity again but I still was bad at C#. I would also go on to learn other languages which I had started to use Visual Studio as a side engine to make simple apps which is where I learned Visual Basic and I got basic C# skills. Around my birthday I had heard about Godot by a video I saw on my YouTube home page, I had it installed for a while and started to learn it but it fell to the same fate as Unity did. Then the day after Christmas (I planned a whole mission to go to micro center, beat the scalpers, and get a 1650) I went to micro center, got the card and a free SSD. I slapped that bad boy into an old Inspiron and it worked great until I realized that I could not use OpenGL on my GPU but I could on integrated graphics, I found out the issue was the GPU not being supported and wasn’t plugged in all the way, before that I thought it was the power supply, so I replaced that but still didn’t fix, got a new CPU (i5-10400F) but that CPU didn’t fit in the motherboard.
In 2022 I had did the computer stuff but because the GPU issue I could not use Roblox at all without my computer crashing, so I just quit and moved on to learning Godot (again) and actually got to know it quite well to where I outright left Roblox (I also left because the community is just spoiled toxic 8 year olds trying to get a 63 year old boyfriend/”girlfriend” and Roblox Corp is WAY too out of touch with it’s community, not to mention the amount of pedophiles that are still on the platform) But by the time I got the GPU problem fixed I had completely made the decision to switch off of Roblox. I had also made Better Notepad and currently working on Tag. I ended up learning how to make music in LMMS this year too, because I’m too broke to hire someone to do it for me. Then around christmas I got the rest of the parts to finish up the build.
Got better at Godot, getting closer to finishing Tag for release. I also realized that my GPU’s time has come, I need a new GPU. So I started saving for an RTX card. I figured this out after realizing that Source 2 REQUIRES an RTX card to build maps because some stupid decision (despite that fact that the 1650 is the second most popular card in the steam hardware survey) and whoever made that decision deserves to be quickscoped with an awp while a molotov is burning in his house.
