Mandalore Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Hi there,My name is Nicholas Winters and I'm currently a senior in high school. I found Wildfire Studios and 0 A.D. because my math teacher showed it to us in class one day. I'm currently planning (if everything works out) to attend DigiPen Institute of Technology and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Real Time Interactive Simulation.I like to program in DarkBASIC Pro, I dabble in some really basic 3d modeling (I more or less suck at it, but I'm trying to get better) with Maya and 3DS Max, and I like to play video games, particularly Halo 2.0 A.D. looks like a lot of fun, and I'm really impressed with the professional quality of the project. In all honesty if I hadn't been told beforehand that it was a hobbyist project I would have thought it was made by a big-name developer.Anyhow... What's up?

CodeOptimist Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If you lived in France, I'd say your teacher was Curufinwe... that's the only WFG'er that I know of who is also a schoolteacher.I'm glad you like the project!

Wijitmaker Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Ah, the pieces of the puzzel fit together. Mr. Fischer I presume? Actually I know it's him, he told me this last weekend that he showed a few of his students the project because they are interested in this line of work. And, one of those must be you Mr. Fischer and I went to highschool together back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
