I used to be a programmer like you, then I took a pointer in the knee. Lead Developer at Solfamidas Games, I put letters together and if they run, probably will be a game.
Professional programmer (with degree!) and hobbyist game developer (autodidact). Basic GIMP knowledge, not so good artists, but I always try to do my best.
My skills includes Python and Lua as main languages for gamedev. I love to making games with frameworks like LÖVE and PyGame, but currently I'm learning how to Godot.
