DOGZ



This is where it all began. From the critiques and praises from the DOGZ online gaming community, I felt obliged to develop my web development skills further. You can see how crappy my old designs were, even my attempt at hand-drawn character designs.

DOGZ was indeed a launchpad for me, and I have many, many people to thank for. You know who you are ^_^
