In my solo work, I've been a generalist covering all aspects of development, whereas in group work I've tended to lean into design, programming and art.
I love designing games to immerse players in strange worlds. I have a passion for wacky interactions having grown up with the Wii, DS and Kinect and love playing with input. I am hugely inspired by Valve and their tutorial-less approach to design, taking immersion as priority in all aspects.
I have most experience programming in Unity, but also use Godot, HTML/CSS/JS and Processing. I have also used C++ for console-based and OpenFrameworks pieces as part of my course. I strive to make my scripts as easy to use for others as possible, using intuitive in-engine tools and displaying public variables well in Unity where possible to make tweaking a simple process. I work well in person and remote, in teams or solo using GitHub for version control.
My artworks are created using Blender, Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. However I have also had experience with the Creative Cloud suite of tools as part of my art vocational course in college. I have had experience modelling, rigging and adapting pre-existing models for commissioned VRChat avatars from Fiverr. I also enjoy playing with shader nodes!
I have been the producer for group works using Notion to organise using Scrum and Agile methodologies and creating professional pitches. I have pitched to publishers in industry, and the public at EGX, as well as participating in the Big Indie Pitch.
In University I ran a game jam society in my first and second year as I felt there needed to be a space to practice tiny projects with people in and outside of Creative Computing in their various mediums. I also ran game nights and other various community events during the pandemic to keep us all well.
I love walking and foraging in my local area (chive butter bread is better than garlic bread don’t @ me >:c ).
I’ve made 2D and 3D art for ages, I love making spooky scenes with cryptids or otherwise alien concepts. Playing with colour is my favourite thing to do in my work! I grew up in the countryside so most of my work is inspired by there and all the folklore and the cultural mishmash that came with being really close to a huge spiritual hub.
I play bass and used to be in a band when I was 14, we played in the local hospital radio! I still create music now, mostly for my games, but if I had infinite money I would get so many instruments I just love them (give me a kalimba please).
I really, really love listening to music too! I haven’t been to too many gigs, but I collect a lot of vinyl. My favourite artists are Crystal Castles, The Garden, Machine Girl, OTTO and Jack Stauber
And of course playing games c:
