Hey everyone, My name is Samuel Batista, I graduated Full Sail University with a Bachelors in Game Development last year. I don't quite remember how I stumbled across this list, but I saw some intense debates, and there wasn't any spam, so I just stayed on it. I work at TimeGate Studios in Sugar Land, TX, as a UI Programmer for AAA games. It's pretty boring sometimes... I'm still very young and green, but I'm trying to sharpen my programming skills while leading a comfortable life in the corporate world. My goal is to become an independent developer and earn a living making games I want to make. I work with C++, ActionScript and Unreal Script. On my spare time I dabble with Flash game development, I really like the fact that I can get something up and running quickly with the tech, even if I have to sacrifice scope due to performance limitations (which is a pretty good thing for a lone newb programmer).
