Blog

A bit late, but now that I’m blogging, three months ago me and my team won Hull Universitys Autumn 24h Three Thing Game Jam!

I teamed up with two fellow first years, and a second year, forming the 4 person team “ParseNips”.

The three words that we needed to incorporate into our game were “Hull”, “Culture” and “Change”, in accordance with Hull being the City of Culture that year. We decided to create a game that encompassed several minigames and took the player on a journey from a humble whaling village to modern day Hull. It was very interesting working as a team to create our vision in such a short amount of time.

This will be the first post of my blog, and probably the best place to explain who I am, and why I have created it in the first place. I may talk more about my background in future posts, but for now I will keep the introduction relatively brief and career oriented.

I am currently 25 years old, my background includes IT, graphic design and 3D/VFX, and I am currently working weekends as a “Technical Support Advisor” whilst studying Computer Science for Games Development at the University of Hull.

I am extremely interested in 3D graphics, Visual Effects, Virtual Reality, and Deep Learning.

Whilst reviewing my grades for the first semester of the first year, one of my lecturers suggested I start a blog to document my progress, and to act as a portfolio for my personal and university projects.

Well here it is!

Before I start uploading new content,  I will be uploading a backlog of projects and items from previous websites and portfolios. I hope you enjoy my sporadic updates, and maybe my information can actually be of help to someone one day.
