BioGRAPHY
Hi, My name is Sakgawee Puresrisak or you can call me "Book" as casual.
I'm a multi-talented artist and coder who is passionate about using art and gaming to bring a goal or vision to reality.
For me, the game is a huge source of inspiration. The game's story, philosophy, gameplay, and language, among other things, taught me a lot. That is a motivation for me to continue to improve my abilities.
Playing a game isn't just for fun; a well-designed game provides much more. This is why I want to share my experience through my work so that others can benefit from what I've learned.
It's not only a game that can make me want to chase my dreams. It's other people's creations that inspire me to do the same. Original Content, Fan Art, Comics, or Animation These are the things that motivate me to try my hand at making my own invention, to improve it, to make it bigger and better than what I've seen in my vision. All persons who can make or lead their creation to success have my respect. They must invest sufficient expertise, experience, determination, and perseverance in the project; these are the qualities I wish to possess in order for my project to be as successful as theirs. So, if it's essential for the work and the objective, any fascinating abilities are welcome. If it is necessary, I am eager to learn anything.
ORIGIN STORY : HOW DO I START GAME DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY?
That began in fourth grade, when my friends and nephew introduced me to RTS games such as the C&C series, Red Alert, and Starcraft. These games are the reason I want to learn to code and enjoy tinkering with computers. I start looking for a way to play LAN games with my father on my own. Fortunately, my father encouraged me to provide what was required. Include my desire to make my own Starcraft level. I'd like the AI to move and attack in the given situation. That wish... let my father introduce me to the tools that can make it come true: "StarEdit," the Starcraft game's map builder program. This is where my coding excitement begins. I began to study how to use a trigger. Plan how to create a condition that is appropriate for my design. Despite the fact that I am unable to create elaborate or complex scripts. However, I have the ability to create my own level and campaign. (However, due to poor grammar uses, I am not open to download this campaign.)
StarEdit was only getting started. My father introduced me to Game Maker, a game engine program, during the next two years. It was the first gaming engine I had ever encountered. However, because I don't know how to code, this tool was first difficult for me. No one, not even my father, has ever taught me anything. All he can do is hand me a document book and tell me to go online and look for a free project sample. As a result, I'll have to teach myself. I learned how to apply my map-making knowledge from Starcraft to game scripting. Fortunately, Game Maker features a visual scripting feature. So, in order to develop a game, I'll have to trial and error various options in there and adjust with some parts of an example project. and yes I can make my very first game: B.T.M. Tank Battle, which is based on the NES game Battlecity.
Not only did the Game Maker engine teach me how to code. Their built-in "Sprite Editor" also encouraged me to pursue a career as a digital artist by learning how to create "Pixel Art" for use in games.
I'm always open to new ideas and collaboration. If your aim appears feasible and fascinating, and you require my assistance when I am available. With all of my knowledge and skills, I am willing to assist.
