By luck or by design, you have found my page. This is a collection of the works, both in progress and complete, of Michael Dykes. As a Game-play Programmer, my love is designing intricate and fascinating systems and game elements with which to entice players to allow themselves to be absorbed into my games.
I am a Combat Veteran. I served in the 173rd Airborne Infantry and deployed to Afghanistan. I am an avid gamer and regularly pick up new games to play. I have been playing video games since I was very small. The first game I ever played was Samurai Warrior: The Battles of Usagi Yojimbo on my Dad's Commodore 64. My favorite game of all time has to be the Baldur's Gate Series but I love all types of games. If it has an interesting story or gameplay elements, color me hooked.
I am graduated from Westwood College in October, 2015, with a BS in Game Software Development. I am a fast learner and have loved my time in this accelerated program as the fast pace kept me challenged and engaged. I have really enjoyed my 2D and 3D programming classes but my favorite classes were the ones around Unity 3D. I quickly became hooked on Unity 3D and Unreal 4 development environments.
