Short Essay: Discovered Wildfire Games while browsing game development online. Having playing games like Age of Empires and Stronghold when I was younger, now having a chance to contribute to that genre is very exciting. I also hope to gain experience with working on another project, and other people. Which will help me to build my portfolio.
Interests and Hobbies: Gaming and watching movies are two of my biggest hobbies (shock!). I’m also enjoying a new love of board games recently, like Game of Thrones Risk and Sheriff of Nottingham. I also play some sports which take up most of my weekend in the summer. So when I want to relax, I read a good book. I’m currently hooked on the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.
