Hello, my name is Thomas, most people call me Tom in person, online I go by Exluto. I am a passionate video game Developer. I enjoy going to Game Jams and meetups, trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can.
I started playing video games at a young age, by the time I was 13 I started to become more involved in the gaming industry, joining the popular gaming communities at the time. Shortly after I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the industry. At first it was YouTube, I started a channel and after a few months joined up with Machinima. I did YouTube for a few years, managed some large channels, also made a few Minecraft Networks that became fairly popular. That's when I started to get into code, I loved managing the Network, working on updates, adding new features and so on. I started to lose interest working on Minecraft all the time and thought about trying to make my own games, but it seemed like a tunnel dream.
After graduating High School I was going to go into business and try to get a BBA, however I still had that urge to try and make my own games, so I dropped out of my program before it even started and decided to follow my dream to make games.
