Haven't introduced myself formally yet, so hi there, Solarus community!
How I heard about Solarus was from a dissertation paper (Link: http://beckylavender.co.uk/portfolio/the-zelda-dungeon-generator/ (http://beckylavender.co.uk/portfolio/the-zelda-dungeon-generator/)) I read last year about generating random Zelda dungeons. After finding out that the scripting language for this engine uses Lua, and out of curiosity, I downloaded Solarus.
I'm adept with OOP languages such as Java, C++, and Ruby, and I'm also familiar with other game engines like RPG Maker and Unity.
Currently, I'm planning to use the Solarus engine to make a quest called The Epic of Den. Originally, this game was meant to be coded completely in Java, but I lost interest in the project.
Hope we can get along and make great open-source games! :)

Hi ! Nice to see you on Solarus forum !
Do you still work at Playtonic Games ? (I'm curious if the people who worked on Banjo & Kazooie have heard about Solarus. I know Chris is a big fan ! and me too)
No, I don't work at Playtonic Games, sorry.
Ha sorry, I mistook you with the author of the paper! Anyway, welcome to Solarus community!
