Just saying Hello World

Hey Everyone,
My name is Christopher and I am a student at SNHU working on a Bachelor’s in Game Programming and Development and I just started a class where we will be learning the Unreal Engine. One of my assignments for the week was to introduce myself to the Unreal Engine community so here I am :wink:

Just a quick tad bit about me, I live on the Big Island of Hawaii, I have a little bit of programming experience with python, java, C#, C++, HTML & CSS, and JavaScript. I have a firm understanding of programming in general and have explored the process of game making through some tutorials in the past and played around with Unity. I have never actually worked on any real projects yet since I am still learning, but I really hope to start working on projects in the very near future given I can find some people patient enough to work with a student. I do have a great idea for an RPG game that I took from a story I started writing a couple years ago and I am hoping to make something of it it in the future. I am not much of an artist so I am hoping to connect with more people to work with in the future. It would be so fun to share ideas and have people to work with to come up with something amazing. I am definitely nervous being an absolute NOOB, and this is my first time posting to a community. If you took the tie to read this, thank you and feel free to reach out if you want to chat. Happy to join the community.

MIDWAY upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost
