Biography
Andrew started playing games on an Atari 800, and has kept up with them since. His game-making debut happened during his senior year in high school, when he made A-Tris, a Tetris clone that let users create and use their own block skins, and kept track of personal high scores and overall high scores of players on the same network. In his freshman year at U of M, he joined the Crisis Wolverine team, editing the game and contributing art for maps. He reprised this role the following year on Crisis Wolverine 2, in addition to writing the dating sequences for that game. For his junior year, he became Secretary of Wolverine Soft, helped set in motion the Wolverine Ware project, and worked on art and programming for Squatter House. Last year, Andrew was the President of Wolverine Soft, worked on the games Wandering Ash, Playplace, and Sleepkeeper, and instituted Wolverine Soft's first Student Video Game Showcase.
