So who am I?
My real name is Taron Millet. I am mostly known on the internet as Zauron, although I also go by the name Rubikant sometimes. I am the sole owner, creator, and maintainer of this site's content and the creations of Z-Ware.I work full time as a video game programmer for a company making handheld games. I'm a huge video game geek and have been since the early Atari days. I've been a self-taught programmer since age 7, always with the goal of programming games (so its especially cool that I'm doing just that now).
I made most of the content you see on this site before getting my current job, as well as a bunch of stuff that's not on here (the stuff not on here is missing because it doesn't work any more on modern computers or the platform it was made for is now obsolete). In fact, it was one of the products found here, Minebot Arena, that helped me get my foot in the door and join the game development industry. Since then I've been much too busy with work to have much free time for side projects, but if I do manage to create something (and I'm always working at least a little bit on some project or other) it will show up here.
My primary interests are of course gaming or developing games. I like most genres of video games, although I'm not a fan of sports games, and I'm less of a fan of FPS's than many younger gamers. I'm particularly fond of 'old school games', preferring 2D over 3D for many genres but also love many 3D games as well (such as MMO's - I was a testing team lead on Dark Age of Camelot and an alpha tester for WoW, for example, and have played most major MMO's at some point or other, with a few being played for several years). I also have a strong fondness for side-scrolling platformers (especially Metroidvania-style) and fighting games (especially Smash Bros Melee, which I used to go to tournaments for, although less of a fan of the new Brawl due to its slower pace and less competitive nature).
