My name is Alex Reimann Cunha Lima. I am a student of the fifth period of the course of Science of Computer UFFS along with my cell-mate Michel Soares Tartas. I started designing on paper digital games (draw sprites, prepare plot, create characters etc) in 1989, as soon as my brother told me about a medieval game with which he had had contact in an arcade (later I learned that it was the game Golden Axe SEGA). In 1991, I discovered that it was possible to develop games with the help of a computer: I saw news in magazines Super Interesting and Science Today about the existence of a program called Game-Maker, the Recreational Software Designs, which would serve that end. So eager to have access to a computer, continued to design on paper digital games. This lasted until 1993, when my parents bought the first PC family. It was an excellent microcomputer: had one 80386SX microprocessor 40Mhz and 4MB of RAM, more than necessary for the creation of games I had in mind. Soon, from reading the source code of the games Gorillas and Nibbles, my brother and I started developing games in QBasic. Later (1996), with access to assemblers, could create games (and game engines) with better performance (in assembly 8086), until finally, with internet access (1998) and a better computer (Pentium 166 Mhz with 32MB RAM), got a free C compiler (DJGPP) and a library of games (Allegro), and therefore the possibility of creating more raised games.

After some time, in 2009 I began to review some digital games that I had tried to run on 80386, but could not for lack of power of the personal computer at the time. One, System Shock, left me a bit frustrated because despite great sound, had immersion in first person but had no control style Quake (aka mouselook), with which I have grown accustomed. For this reason, I created you a patch to enable mouselook and other features. This return to the lineup of digital games encouraged me to continue the course of Computer Science (which I had left in 2003), and consequently opened the possibility of turning a hobby into a profession.
