Me
I'm currently studying at San Jose State University and I'm hoping attending classes will improve my programming abilities, and if not then I already use my free time to learn on my own. Games have a been a large part of my life since my cousin bought me a PS1 and I've been fascinated with how they work ever since. I summarize myself in this four word phrase: Making Games, Playing Games. And if I must, a bit of sarcasm and wit on the side!
What is a neoxid501?
A lot of people ask where I came up with the name, so I guess I should start there. "Neo" reminds of the Crash Bandicoot series of games, specifically the villain named Neo Cortex. "XID" in all caps looks like a face and that's all there is really to that, plus I think it sounds cool.
There was a point where it was just NEOXID but I wanted to add a number to make if feel serialized and I initially made it NEOXID500. Admittedly, 501 just sounded better and "501" is a reference to the 501st Legion of Clone Troopers and they're awesome.
There's also a bit of leniency in how to say it, I even switch it up now and again. Nee-Ox-id, Nee-Oak-Sid, Nee-Oak-Id, all work but I usually say Nee-Oak-Sid if you really want an answer.
The origin of the logo is pretty funny. In High School I took a communications class and one of the assignments was a project where we had to come up with a brand and product to sell, then make a campaign marketing it. Naturally I came up with a logo and while I had an idea for it I wasn't much of an artist then and I'm still not an artist now.

The old one looks so... edgy but not in a good way. When it came time to come up with a logo to publish under I went back to it because I liked what I was going for. The same overall layout is still there, it's just more curvy and made with much more love!
