+title: Welcome to Shaderlog!
+---
+A long time ago in a year known to many by 2003, I played my first "real" video game: **Pokémon Sapphire**. After encountering it in a Walmart in the great state of Maine, I quickly became enamored with the vaguely whale-shaped creature on the box art for the game. And so I began my scheming to acquire the game for myself.
+
+In about ~0.03 seconds I had formulated my plan. It was simple. Brilliant even. All I need do was ask my grandmother who was with me at that fated Walmart for it. The trick? My parents weren't with us to say no.
+
+And so began my love of video games in earnest. I played many Gameboy Advance games over the next couple of years, eventually migrating to PC and console gaming but always had a soft spot for games with pixel art and turn-based strategy like **Pokémon**, early **Fire Emblem** and of course **Final Fantasy**.
+
+Fast-forward a couple decades and now I am a full-time software engineer with a degree and background that while not all that uncommon these days, puts me in the perfect position to be able to learn how to develop those very same turn-based games I loved growing up.
+
+So come join me in here in this blog where I will be attempting to document my progress as an amateur game developer as I work on my new open-world tactics RPG game **The Far Reaches**. I will be splitting these into two major categories:
+- **Graphics Blog** A series of posts designed to introduce the high-level concepts and problems I encounter during development as well as my designs and solutions for solving them. I will attempt to explain these in layman's terms but a cursory understanding of some topics may be required.
+- **Dev Log** - A series of more casual posts that detail the progress and design decisions I have made for my game. These will likely be more of a "stream of consciousness"-type post that go over more game-specific stuff.
