Interests

I have a keen interest in games and game development, I am currently working on the design for a point and click adventure using the AGS engine.

In my spare time I enjoy working on the open source project ScummVM. I have supplied patches to the project for the SCUMM engine which runs Lucasarts point and click adventure games. These patches have made it into the main program. I have also worked upon the ScummVM Teen Agent engine, which is a re-implementation of a classic Polish adventure game, implementing some of the game play features.
