+

Dollarluigi is a guy that exists on the internet and makes stuff. He's on many websites including YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr, Gamejolt, Capcom Unity, RPG Maker, and a few others. His real name is Conor and he lives with both of his parents and three annoying siblings: an older brother and two younger twin sisters. Currently most of his focus goes toward his video game reviews on Youtube when he's not slacking off. He also has a dream of being a game developer in the future and actually got a start with it at a young age. [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-2 [2]]

==Early Life==

+

+

Dollarluigi was born on September 20th, 1998, almost two years after his brother, Cheezballe [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-3 [3]], who was born on September 26th, 1996. Most of the members of his household were born in September. The only exceptions are his two sisters born in April. Around 2003, Dollarluigi became extremely shy around people outside of home, but it eventually got worse. Eventually, he would talk to practically nobody.However, one person was able to get him to actually talk. She was one of his first friends and only friend at the time, due to others picking on him at school. After about a year, his friend would have to move and they never saw each other again. [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-4 [4]]</p>The next year he made a couple of new friends. However, it wouldn't last, because having to go to different schools caused them to become distant. Despite having plenty of opportunities to talk to each other in the more recent years, they haven't been able to get things back to the way they were.</p>

==Game Development==

+

+

Dollarluigi has been playing video games since the young age of three, and those games he played would inspire him to want to become a game developer. The first video game he ever played was Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for the Game Boy Color, which would be the start of his love for old Nintendo games, but mostly Mario. When he was young, he'd have access to a Nintendo 64 at daycare and a few more systems at his uncle's house.Those systems include the Super Nintendo and a Gamecube, which Dollarluigi would later own in 2005 and still owns today. Over at his uncle's house, one game he played a lot was Super Mario All-Stars and the one game he loved the most on there was Super Mario Bros. 3. After his uncle had shown him a guide book for the game, he just wanted to make his own levels for Mario games.</p>His uncle would later give him a game creation tool, Game Maker 6.1. Unfortunately, Dollarluigi couldn't figure out how to use it in his first year of owning it. He later taught himself and upgraded over the years. He currently uses version 8.1, and kind of ignores Game Maker Studio. He at one point realized that it was levels specifically that he wanted to make, but even after he found the right tools for making Mario levels, he got burned out and became a little lazy. Levels he has made with "Level Editors" rather than "Game Makers" have received mixed opinions from others. [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-5 [5]] [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-6 [6]] [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-7 [7]] [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-8 [8]]</p>Dollarluigi was never the best at making games. Everything he put out would always received mixed opinions. He didn't know everything he needed to know about his game creation software. After teaching a friend of his the basics of this editing software, this friend of his became much more knowledgeable about the program than he was. Dollarluigi eventually ended up working with this friend on a project that was planned to be their first commercial game.</p>This project was eventually cancelled as both of them ended up getting sick of its development cycle. Dollarluigi tried to get other project's going at the same time, which included Blu's Treasure [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-9 [9]], but has since been left on hiatus. Some other ideas were bounced around including an FPS horror game, but nothing would be revealed about that game. After playing Ace Attorney, Dollarluigi was inspired again and got to work on a visual novel [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-10 [10]] immediately after seeing what Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was like.</p>He pitched his idea to his friend, who agreed to the project afterward. Over time, his idea would have to be reworked a few times to make more sense and just have better dialogue. At present, the game is still in development and still needs the rest of the script to be written. It is expected that the game is done in late 2016 at the earliest and late 2020 at the latest. This project has been referred to on Twitter by Dollarluigi as "Project Books". [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-11 [11]] [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-12 [12]] [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-13 [13]] A final name for it has been decided but has not yet been revealed.</p>The small crew has pushed back a few ideas to work on while they work on this, so that they'll have enough projects to work on, and this includes "Project Squares" [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-14 [14]]. They have not decided on the final title of the game, but it is planned to be a freeware platforming game to give players a taste of what we are capable of producing. At present, they have not finished any games.</p>

==Writing==

+

When Dollarluigi was a kid, he was almost addicted to reading. He read a lot more books than most gamers ever read in the present, but over time he became like most gamers and read less. But during the time that he actually read books, he wanted to be an author, and made many "books" for others to read. At present, he still writes but just not as often. There's an occasional fan fiction or original work on his deviantArt account, his assignments at school, and sometimes a series of stories that he is writing just for fun. This series of stories is planned to be turned into a video game franchise in the future.

==Origins of Dollarluigi==

+

Dollarluigi would first join a website made by a friend of his. Unfortunately, the site is no longer available. However, this site is where Dollarluigi got his name. Not sure what to use as a username, he typed in "$Luigi128". This was later shortened to just "$Luigi" and then changed to "Dollarluigi" on Yoyogames, back when the sandbox was still active... and not yet known as the sandbox. Before he ultimately settled on "Dollarluigi", he considered a few other names which include "Luigifan", but that was already taken, "Prince_Luigi" which just didn't click with him, and "LuigiX911". It is unknown why he didn't use this name, but it is referenced in the Super Mario 64 bloopers he used to make, by a character named after the username. [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-15 [15]] He would later create a Youtube account, which would originally serve as a way to showcase his mostly fan-made games. Over time, he decided to do other stuff on Youtube, including Super Mario 64 bloopers and a few random things. He started let's play videos in 2013, and then decided it would be best to have them on a different channel. [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-16 [16]] Having to manage this channel constantly was just too much for him and he later abandoned it, before making it an extras channel where he puts whatever crap that doesn't belong on his main channel.

==Finding What He Wanted To Do==

+

+

Over time, Dollarluigi just got extremely burned out from making games, and put most of his focus toward YouTube content. Eventually he created another channel [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/#cite_note-17 [17]], and this one was for fan-made content and getting his few fans involved somehow, or just projects he intended to work on with others. He made games less and less over time and continued to have YouTube be his main focus. This was also when he started creating some more social media accounts, and would make even more for himself over time. Eventually, he wanted a fresh new start on his channel, so he re-booted it for the second time and is now doing game reviews. It is not known what Dollarluigi's future plans are.
