Hello, my name is Alex and I'm an Underlight addict.

I've been playing Underlight since May of 1998, when it was still a baby on MPlayer. A few years later, in 2000, I joined their dev team helping with level updates and some minor things here and there. Most of what I did at that time, though, was testing. After some time, I left the team to get caught back up in life, then found myself jumping at the opportunity to join the Reclamation team near the end of June last year. From that point on, I've been working hard at a whole new look for existing planes of Underlight.

Outside of Lyra, I'm just a normal guy. I'm 19 and now living on my own in Athens, Georgia. At this point, I'm in the middle of my year-long hiatus from school. I decided to take a year off before jumping into college life, which has allowd me to put maximum time into level building for Lyra. After I do go back to college, I will probably drop my full-time job and still have some time to put into building these levels.

When I do go to college, I'll be majoring/minoring in some mix between Dramatic Arts (acting, directing, film, theater, all that good stuff), and Computer Science of some kind. Really, there's not a more mismatched pair, but Underlight and Reclamation are the perfect medium - roleplaying in a computer game. I couldn't ask for more, and I'm having a lot of fun helping to put it together.

The greatest satisfaction I've ever had during my years at Lyra has been when a room I built was released into Underlight, and people go there and say "Wow, this is an amazing room." Then I know my work is worthwhile. It's all for you guys.
