Mark Bonasoro grew up in the late 80s in a family with computers from a young age. In the mid-90s, Mark started building his own PCs. His interest in game development started when he used Softimage on a Silicon Graphics machine in high school. Mark's programming skills ramped up in the 2000s when he started college, using C++ to make business applications, and worked in a small indie game company using a 3D multiplatform game engine, still in circulation, called Intrinsic Alchemy. In 2006, Mark started a game studio, as an excuse to learn with his classmates to make mobile games for Java 2 Micro Edition-featured phones for Sony Ericsson and Nokia. He graduated in software engineering in 2010 from Concordia University and worked as a Unity developer for Affordance Studios producing educational games.
