About Canucksoft


Canucksoft was formed in late 1998, and was formerly known as Floating Point Software. If you haven't already guessed, Canucksoft is a Canadian company. Our major projects have been LORD 2 IGMs, something we appear to be well-known for. It's cool. Once upon a time, the three guys you will read about below had a BBS. Now they don't. Suck for them, but if it ever starts back up, there will be more IGM work, count on it.

Do we actually make any money from this effort? That would have to be a resounding 'NO', but we don't really care, because we all have day jobs.

What's up with the funky colour scheme on the website? I feel it makes for good eye candy. Like a candy cane, no?

MikeMichael Bujold, Concept Designer and Programming Lead (and Executive Director)
Why did Mike form Canucksoft?
Because it seemed like fun at the time. Then we found out people actually use the stuff (*GASP!*), so it stayed put.
What does Mike do?
Excellent question. I act like I'm in charge, but that never seems to be the case. And I can be pretty unmotivated to do anything for long periods of time. Until the last minute when I scramble to put things together. But, hey, this is all fun and games right now. I want it to stay that way forever.
Where did Mike start?
Mike has been involved with computers for quite awhile. He initally began his computing carrer with a Commodore VIC-20, and first learned BASIC. Since then, he has moved up from a IBM 286, to a 486, to a Pentium computer. In his 15 years with computers, he has learned operating systems such as every version of Windows, MS-DOS, Linux, and Solaris. He has learned BASIC, Pascal, HTML, ASP, JavaScript, C++, C++ Builder, and of course, RTReader.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
His time with computers has also given him 20/100 vision without the aid of corrective lenses. He is currently splitting his time between working and goint to school (U of A). He enjoys such activities as paintball, fishing, skiing, karate, water sports, and anything sanely dangerous. (That would exclude things like croc wrestling and HALO skydiving.) His favorite thing? "That would have to be having fun."

JoelJoel Hillacre, Graphics Designer and Programmer
How did Mike and Joel meet?
Mike and Joel have known each other pretty much since Elementary school. It may seem like awhile, but really, it's only about 12 years. PS. Mike is older.
What does Joel do?
He does what he's told. If I want a graphic, I get a graphic. If I want it tested to death, it get's tested to death. He does subroutines too. He's worth keeping around.
Where did Joel start?
Joel has at least ten years of experience with computers under his belt, and has learned OSes like Windows, MS-DOS, and MacOS. He initally started out his programming days with an IBM 286, and got bored of that so he moved up to a Pentium 500. He has experience in languages such as BASIC, HTML, Java, and C++. He is also an accomplished ANSI artist, and he is da bomb with 3D Studio Max. Website here.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
He also enjoys activities like paintball and lazer tag, as well as fencing and street hockey.

MatMat Tokarek, Storyboarder and Programmer
How did Mike and Mat meet?
Mat and Mike met in High School. Aside from an interest in computers, Mat also happened to be easy to beat up (j/k).
What does Mat do?
That's a good question, but he's pretty good at making websites, and he has this serendipity-effect with C++. Plus he'll do anything you ask (read: tell) him to do.
Where did Mat start?
Mat has been playing with computers for quite some time. Computers are where he spends most of his time, anyway. His background is mostly MS-DOS and Windows-based platforms, with some experience on the Macintosh OS. His programming expertise is mostly in BASIC, C++ and HTML, as well as Flash 4 and JavaScript.
When he's not doing computers, what is he doing?
Mat enjoys such activities as swimming (he's a qualified lifeguard, folks), curling, playing on his computer, and trying to "pick up hot girls".

Like the pictures? Mike drew 'em. We all wear glasses and don't have noses. Cool, eh?
