Hello!

I'm a Game Development graduate with a background in drama.

This pairing came from my love for the creative process. Watching something come to life and knowing I'm responsible for it is an incredible feeling. Even as a child I couldn't be kept away from train sets, Warhammer, Lego, built-in level editors, character creators, theatrical productions, and of course, games.

The satisfaction is even better when working in a team, as you bring so many different perspectives under one banner. Therefore, my primary focus in any project is letting my, and other's voices be heard. Whether that be as a team leader, giving everyone a chance to shine, or working alone but ensuring my code and documents are legible and scalable.

One of the best parts of working collaboratively is hearing other's opinions on your work, and I have a hunger for feedback. I'll put my heart and soul into what I create, but when I find a flaw, I'll put even more into improving both myself and my work.

About Me

Django

Charles

  • The Flipper Framework. Viewable on this portfolio, but there's still more little polishing effects and levels I'd like to add.

  • The Prodeus Level Editor. Prodeus is a boomer shooter with an excellent community and built in level editor. To diversify my portfolio and learn more about levels for fast paced shooters, I'm researching the editor and will create  a level within the next few months.

  • My network. I'm content with my technical skills, so after graduation, I will be focussing on my professional persona. I'll network, expand this portfolio, constantly engage with online challenges, and refine my CV & cover letters.

  • I was a Grads In Games Student Ambassador.

  • I have been involved in three different and unrelated productions of Alice in Wonderland.

  • I am professionally scream trained due to working as a scare actor.

  • I can recite over 60 digits of pi.

  • My favourite game genre is Platformer. The emphasis on game feel and pure fun above everything else is beautiful.

  • My favourite show is Doctor Who.

  • My Warhammer faction is Necrons (since 2012)

  • My favourite games are Dragon Quest IX and Team Fortress 2.

Fun Facts

  • HEMA. Swordfighting as a proper sport. I've loved swords since I was boy eagerly attending medieval festivals. Now I'm training in how to swordfight properly.

  • Exploration. I just enjoy aimless wandering, especially in new places I usually end up when attending games events and conferences.

  • Drama.  I am a performer, which my teachers and lecturers have always remarked on being unusual for computer based studies, but theatre is special and so useful creatively.

  • Tabletop Games. I've homebrewed, house ruled, and like most devs, lost many D&D characters.
