Hi, I’m Frank Force and yes, that is my real name. I develop software for a living, mostly videogames. Currently I’m working as a gameplay engineer at LightBox Interactive in Austin Texas. In the past I’ve also worked at Volition, Midway Games, and Hypnotix. Some of my interests are programming, rapid prototyping, guitar, abstract art, bicycling, cooking, film, games, and philosophy.
