About Jeremy Powell

For as long as I can remember I've always wanted to make video games, ever since I picked up my first controller (Super Nintendo) I played through the various Levels of Mario and Zelda thinking how fun it was just traversing the world. Granted my little child brain at the time wasn't really thinking hey lets go make these right meow, lets just keep playing till the cows come home. It wasn't till around 12 ish (Guestimating here) that I decided that no I wasn't going to be a Fireman, a Doctor, or a Police officer, or Batman (Unfortunately) I was going to make video games. So I started to mod games like Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, or even just draw out random levels for made up worlds, and world maps for RPGs I would some day like to make. However, pretty much all of the mods or levels I made, never saw the light of day, got lost to the ether, or I deleted out of frustration. So after High school, I went to Camosun College in Victoria to do programming because I felt I wanted to program for videos games instead (Money lots and lots of money) but I didn't finish that because they weren't teaching programming for games, more networking stuff. still good lessons learned, like how to program. So I continued with this knowledge and applied it to scripting for levels, and soon I discovered Vancouver Film School where they had a Game Design Program. And now here I am finished Vancouver Film School armed with much knowledge on how things work and a strong passion for creating interesting and engaging worlds.
