About Me
My name is Von Ithipathachai; I'm currently a student at East Carolina University pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science. I like playing video games and am deeply interested in making my own. Right now I'm making a Fire Emblem clone called Sanctaea Chronicles in SRPG Studio and a 3D Tetris clone in Unity.
Eever since I picked up Shin Megami Tensei IV for the 3DS, the Megami Tensei series of video games has quickly become one of my all-time favorites for its challenging gameplay, thought-provoking narrative, and the vast number of religions, cultures, and folklores from which it pulls its rosters of demon enemies.

About This Site
The seeds for this project were sown a few years back, when I decided to start from the beginning.
After playing Shin Megami Tensei IV, I decided to delve deeper into what the series had to offer, starting with the original Digital Devil Story games (in the form of Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei) and working my way up from there. As I was playing these, I became frustrated by the Megami Tensei Wiki's lack of reliable information for demons in more obscure games, especially for things such as elemental resistances. I eventually found some more substantial info on Japanese sites, but thought to myself: "Hey, hold on a second. Why haven't we seen this info on the Internet in English yet?" Thus, I made up my mind to copy whatever info I could find into an English-language format that my fellow players could more easily access. These took the form of spreadsheets, which I uploaded to the now-defunct DDS-NET forum. Once it went under, I started advertising my sheets on Tumblr, but to little attention.
My goal is to become one of the most reliable English-language sources of Megami Tensei demon info on the Internet, especially for more obscure games that have yet to be officially translated. With this website, I hope that my material will be more accessible to players in need of assistance with things like stats and Skills, and that I can provide a greater service.
