I am currently a college student studying in a games design course at level 3. I previously did a year of sixth form where I took economics, maths, further maths and computing. I decided to make the switch to college at the end of year 12 as I felt I wasn't learning what I wanted to especially in computing. I wanted to move past learning python and learn skills that can really be applied to the industry. I have taught myself to program in C# aswell as additionally teaching myself how to use the Unity game engine. Furthermore I have also taught myself how to use blender, a free to use 3D design software widely used in the industry. I aim to master programming as it is a very flexible skill to have.

I first started getting into games design after lockdown. Blender was one of the first things I installed after building my first PC and from there I would make many 3D objects for use on my small games. Look below for an insight into some of my work:

I would say there was a goal to all of this but there really wasn't. I just enjoyed making low poly 3D objects which eventually I started using to make small games. Unfortunately I no longer have the files for the games. 

For the next 2 years after I didn't work on much as I had to focus on both GCSE and A-level content. Now in college I can work freely on my games. My next project after was working on my 2D top down game.

This was my work for "Isle of the taken", my initial game idea where you play as an old man returning to his life of a warrior as he must reclaim his island from supernatural invaders who mutate anyone they kill to join them.

During term 2 I started to learn to use aseprite, a really popular software of choice for pixel artists. Here is some of the work I did.

As of right now I am currently working on my friends game as he is designing all the characters, animations and maps where as I will be coding and putting it all together in Unity with some small pixel art on the side for the UI. This is a 2D fighting game similar to street fighter or smash bros.

Next up I will be working on the FMP for which I'll be improving the game me and Cameron have been working on. Thank you for listening.
