Junior at Ferris State

I am taking both the art and programming concentrations because I am very interested in learning all the steps to making a game. So far, I have worked on one game jam, but I'm excited to do more. I am working towards becoming a vfx or technical artist. I really love playing around with vfx in unreal engine. My next personal goal is to make a game in godot, as I'm very interested by it.

My Experience

Programs Time with Said Program

Fun tools

Pixel Composer
  • Pretty cool pixel art vfx tool I like to play around with
  • Ultrabox
  • Another tool I enjoy, Ultrabox (a fork of Beepbox) is a browser based music composer. It's pretty fun to mess around in, the direct link is a song I made for one of my Game Programming 1 games.
  • SLK_img2pixel
  • Tool for converting images for a more retro, limited palette style
