A Fateful Encounter

My journey with MAGWest began during Rockage 3.0, in February of 2014, at San Jose State University. As part of the campus' Game Development Club I volunteered some of my time to watch over our pride and joy student-built Arcade Cabinets. While here I had what I'll always consider to be a fateful encounter.

I met Dominic Cerquetti, former game developer, and at-the-time CEO of MAGFest Inc. Read that tale here.

During my sophomore year at San Jose State University, I had the opportunity to build an in-house arcade launcher for the SJSU Game Development Club that would compete against other in-house launchers.

For this project I partnered up with my friend and mentor, Arthur Baney, using Game Maker Studio's scripts powered through the Game Maker Language, or GML. Arthur was a junior at SJSU, a member of the Game Development Club, and a talented developer - especially when it came to using GML.
