Week 1 - Bernardo Pinto

Hi! I'm Bernardo, a 23 year old Portuguese student.

I've always been an introvert, even as a kid. In my case,  a lot of my time was spent with games.

Eventually I became interested on how those games came to be, and now it's my turn to create games!

Some of my favourite and most memorable games, in the general order I played them, are: 

Jade Empire, Unreal Tournament 2004, Fusion Frenzy, Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, Halo series, Deus Ex:Human Revolution, Call Of Duty : BO1 and MW3, DC Universe Online, Blade & Soul, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Hades, League of Legends.

And many, MANY flash games (RIP). In fact, the game we are making is actually inspired from 2 of the flash games I've played!

They are:

- Dragon Ball Z Tournament ( YouTube video)

- I'm sorry but I can't remember the other one's name, nor find it... All I remember is: It had multiple heroes from various series, such as Halo, and was played in a grid with powers. You and the AI played "at the same time", much like in the Dragon Ball game above.

I hope we can create something worthy of being inspired by games I loved :)

Lastly, I'm glad there is a partnership with art students. It can be a real drag to take care of the visual aspect of the game when you have no talent for it, so its reassuring to have someone to depend on for it.
