Hi, I'm pointcastle!
I'm an aspiring game developer. I love for stealth, survival horror, and milsim games. I'm currently working on COLLATERAL VOW.
MY CURRENT PROJECT
COLLATERAL VOW
A fast-paced, top-down pixel shooter that mixes intense gunplay with a gripping, noir-inspired story. Play as Frank Markel, a former detective on a quest for revenge, battling through brutal encounters and uncovering a dark conspiracy. Precision, quick reflexes - where time slows down - are your only way to survive.
As I step into adulthood, I’ve made the choice to reduce my time online. The digital world can be full of distractions, and I need to stay organized and in control. That doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy my hobbies - I still will, but I’ll do it on controlled and manageable terms, where everything's accounted for.
MY AFFILIATIONS
Red Dawn Apparel
This is a user-generated content store with a particular emphasis on Cold War Era militaria in Roblox - shared ownership with Sabot_Shell.
MY AFFILIATIONS
13th Special Forces Group (Airborne)
This is a fictional US Army Special Forces Group I own in Roblox.
WHO I AM
In Real Life
Outside the digital world, I stay connected to a military ethos. I'm a patriot at heart. My country has gone above and beyond for me, and I hope to return that service. I major in Computer Science, and I hope to pursue further studies in this field with all it has - so that I'm well equipped to serve my dear nation: Kuwait.
WHO I AM
Socially
I'm not shy at all, in fact I can be pretty socially explosive to say the least. I am however generally introverted and not primarily socially outgoing. Solitude is where I thrive and I'm socially picky by choice. I keep a small circle of close friends, and my biggest social network is my family. I’m not the best at keeping in touch, and it may take me some time to respond to messages outside of my circle. The internet is where many people are comfortable getting very comfortable with everybody else, I understand and accept that - but I prefer not to carry myself like that and I try to draw a line there. I try to stay away from negative influences and I stay clear from offensive jokes from people I don't particularly know well enough. I hold myself accountable and I try to be polite and understanding. I understand the person I've described sounds like a really unapproachable person to talk to - but if you’re eager to get to know me, don’t be discouraged!
WHO I AM
Inspirations of Passion
Names like Andreas Ronnberg, Hideo Kojima, Sam Lake, and Shinji Mikami inspire me a lot. I loved playing games like Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Max Payne and Battlefield 2 - this naturally helped shape my selection in the games I like, and the games I'm inspired to make. I owe a lot of this to my dad - the coolest guy I know! It's an unbelievable privilege to call him not only my father, but a best friend too.
WHO I AM
Inspirations of Character
Growing up, I struggled socially and academically. I was a pretty weird kid. It took time, and it helped that as others and myself matured, I learned to adapt. Making friends became easier, but I still never found my place socially. As I grew older, I realized I didn’t have all the tools, knowledge, and a well-baked will to go from a boy to a man. That’s where people like David Goggins and Jocko Willink helped me. There are definitely things that I find absurd about them that don't apply to my life, but they taught me how to be resilient through life’s struggles. I learned that: it's OK to not have the ideal social upbringing you see on TV or social media, and it's OK to not relate to other people. Life is nuanced, and, sometimes the ideals are just not a good fit for you - for there's something that'll suit you even better!It also helps that I have heroes in my life: my family. Talent and natural excellence helps, but they don't matter. I’ve seen firsthand that success takes an unbelievable amount of effort and dedication, and I’ve applied that lesson to my life. The results speak for themselves. Everyone I’ve mentioned helped shape me, but in the end, I have to be the one to shape my life into everything I want it to be. It comes with confliction at first. Believe me, there are times where I've had to tug on my hair and shiver my nights to sleep - sobbing. But with patience and kindness to self, it pays off! When all is said and done, I hope I can be as much an inspiration to others as others were to me!
