Aspiring Game/Level Designer & Technical Game Designer

Who am I

Getting back to my first passion

As a school teacher, I looked into the Unreal Engine to introduce children to game development and build their logical skills. After just a few weeks, I was completely hooked to it myself. This feeling of learning new sets of abilities while using my programming skills again after many years was exhilarating. This is when the idea of developing a full game came to my mind.

About a year ago, I began building a game on my spare time. I started to imagine what that game could look like, what the player’s abilities could be. The process of creating something from a blank page was really thrilling.

After a few months, I realized that bringing my game to a fully completed state was going to be a lot of work, so I decided to set aside my job as a teacher and focus 100% of my time on finishing my game.

 

Fast forward to a year later, my game Astria is finished and live on Steam. This journey forced me to develop completely new skills. I had to learn how to use Unreal Engine 4, but I quickly realised it was not going be enough. I also needed to look into the basics of Blender, GIMP and Audacity to add more content inside Astria. I carried out this entire project alone, using friends or family advice and knowledge along the way.

Today I find myself hungry for more, and decided to seek a full time position on a game development team, as a technical game designer or any similar position where I could leverage my creativity along with my technical skills.
