Katax Emperor is originally from Melbourne, Australia. He received bachelor's degree in Computer Hardware Engineering and two master's degree in Multimedia at Swinburne University of Technology in 2012.

Katax is involved in particle system programming, developing web-based interactive applications such as games, making animation with 3D applications for use in Unreal Engine, and also doing VJ performance with real-time improvisation style.
Katax started programming with Commodore 64 and started making digital art works with Commodore Amiga 500. After Windows 98 was released, he switched to PC. He expanded his experience with 3D applications, fractal and graphic design, and video editing programs. Today, he has a wide range of experience in a number of applications for artists, designers, and developers.

I am grateful to John Carmack from id Software for his great work on 3D graphic programming. What he developed in the 90's was the beginning of the wonderful genre of first-person shooter games. Also, I would like to thank Westwood Studios for introducing the Command and Conquer (C&C) series. This game pioneered many aspects of the modern real-time strategy games, which later powered many sub-genres in this area as well.
