John Netzel (ComMieDog)

Chief Engineer

John got his start in game development by modding the game Red Alert 2, making snipers that shot thermonuclear bullets, a very devastating and hilariously overpowered weapon. He then went on to work on mods for Generals and Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. He provided most of the coding for CnC: All-Stars and C&C: The Forgotten, as well as working on Tiberium Secrets.

As the Lead Engineer at Honor Games, John aims to cast off the training wheels of modding and take the reins of video game programming. John promises to use this power for good, not evil, and create games that just work.
