My name is Mike, my alias is KYD462... I've been making mods since... Dungeon Keeper 2 was new. haha. KYD462 comes from my online tag in Quake III Arena for Dreamcast, "KillYaDead462". I kicked ass at that game. The 462 is from a Tool song "46 and 2". It's all about evolving, becoming better at being yourself, changing, growing.

Anyway... yeah, I make mods for all kinds of games, and then I disappear for a while, come back, and make more mods. My latest obsession is Fallout 3, and the Fallout franchise in general. I missed this title while I was growing up, so I'm going back to catch up on an awesome series. I played A LOT of games when I was younger, but these managed to pass by me.

I'm a former Game Design major at The Institute of Art, Chicago (& San Francisco). In my 4th year my designs earned me a sweet gig as a game-tester for a small cell-phone gaming company where I got to meet people who'd worked at places like EA, Lucas Arts, and Black Isle. I even met a guy who wrote for one of my all time favorite games, "Baldurs Gate". Sweet!

So, I'm still plugging along, trying to "break in to the industry" as a game designer. I keep my skills sharp by unraveling games and seeing what else I can make with them. My favorite projects are total conversions, but they hardly ever see completion due to the sheer amount of tedious work they entail.

Right now, I'm working on an exciting new expansion to Fallout3 called "WAR GAMES". I'm not giving anything away yet, but it will allow you to play Fallout3 in a whole new way. I need a small team to help out too, so if you got skillz let me know. I enjoy working with fun creative people, and I'm big on collaboration.
