What I bring to the table

I have strong programming skills and knowledge covering core programming principles and specific techniques for C# and C++ languages. I am also capable of programming using game design patterns such as OOP, entity component systems and working in methods such as agile programming.
I have used and can program in game engines such as Unity and Unreal, and C++ frameworks such as DirectX and OpenGl based engines. This gives me flexebility in creating and approaching game development and what engine I can use.
I have an understanding of 3d modelling and game art which allows me to work with both describing the aesthetic and keeping it within scope of a project technically.
My experience with playing and designing games has given me a good ability to think through a game and a level and how those features can all be tied together. I understand theory such as the flow state theory and how that informs level design to be satisfying.
I am constantly learning and innovating upon my skillset, in order to make the best games possible.
I have a degree from UWE's TIGA accredited Games Technology course and I have a skills bootcamp programming certificate from Mastered.

Completed Projects

A hyper casual runner game

The project was made for the Mastered Bootcamp creator challenge day, themed around making a hyper casual game. I decided to go with a runner game and to work in C++ primarily rather then relying on blueprints.

Work In Progress Projects

RPG Arena

A small scale action RPG combat arena game made with Unreal for Mastered.

Squidstribution Demo

This demo game is all about controlling a kaiju sized squid to destroy a city with high above point and click game play in order to balance out the feng shui to gain karma.

Binding of Issac De-make

De-making Binding of Issac as an Atari style game such as sticking to using button limitations and a lower bit colour pallete in the sprite work.

World Streaming

An open world loading and delaoding system to maxamise memory usage during playtime.

Old Skool FPS

Recreating a retro style shooter game in Direct X 11 in the same vein as games such as Doom and Wolfenstein. The project will be coming soon.

Skills

All the skills I have useful for game development

C++/C# Programming

I have experience in usign C++ and C# coding for game development from both Unity and Unreal 4 engines, as well as open source pure C++ engine frameworks such as DirectX 11, SFML v2.5, and the OpenGL based ASGE Engine (found below).

I also have some practice with using Python and google colab in CNN and GAN ai networks.

Github and version control

Making use of version control is essential for game development.
I have used github for a managing version control over the game projects I've worked on, including working with the specific version control adjustments when creating a game from Unity.

HTML & CSS

I have some experience with web design and HTML and CSS coding conventions. I've also used java script in my websites before as well.

Communication and Team-Work

I have worked in a team for several game projects as well as in a working environment with other professionals away from a developer environment, which builds the skills to talk with other team members and help each other out in our work.

3D Modelling in Blender and Maya

I have made a few game ready 3D models and environments in Blender and Autodesk' Maya. This has taught me some things about model animation workflows as well, in Blender, Maya, and Unity/Unreal.
There are all the models I designed for games following this link:

Sprite artwork

I have a few sprite based artworks I've created for 2D games such as those made in ASGE and SFML.
