Tyvon J. Thomas

Tyvon J. Thomas (born September 22, 1990), also known as Alpha Six, is a game designer and a freelance pixel artist. He is also the founder and administrator of PixelxCore Independent Gaming, which was founded in late 2008, and was also recently hired by the indie game development company Nicalis, Inc.
Tyvon first showed interest in game development and pixel art at the early age of 8 years old, where his creativity flourished after playing his first Super Nintendo. Tyvon spent his free time in school reading up on game design theory. His first venture into game design was with experimenting with the game development tool Game Maker at age 13, but never finished a project, due to coming up with multiple ideas simultaneously and getting bored with old ideas.
Tyvon has cited many different elements that have inspired him to become a game developer and pixel artist, some of those elements being SNK, Konami, Capcom, Nintendo, action movies, Team Ninja, Arc System Works, and other independent game developers like Konjak.
PixelxCore Independent Gaming
Tyvon founded PixelxCore Independent Gaming in 2008, originally as an offshoot of Pixeltendo, the old forums of The Spriter's Resource. In 2009, he dropped association with Pixeltendo and The Spriter's Resource completely and turned his community into its own full blown independent game development website. On March 25, 2009, the new site was dubbed "PixelxCore Independent Gaming." Tyvon plans on bringing PxC into a bigger section of the indie scene, eventually making all of his projects multiplatform.
Project History
Tyvon has done animation work for the Luc Bernard RPG project SteamPirates and the fighting game Skullgirls, as well as directing the PxC projects Fate's Mirror, Reach For the Top, and the freeware Wolfgang and the Evil Four, all three projects slated for Q3 2010 releases.
