My Journey So Far:
I have been making games for a little over 6 years, and while it has mostly been a hobby for me so far my passion for it has led me to keep learning and making projects throughout those years. I have learned on my own through various free online resources such as YouTube tutorials, documentation, forums, etc. as well as a recent internship with the company Nexus Games where I learned a lot about teamwork and working on a long standing project that I didn't create. I truly love making games for others to enjoy so that I can hopefully bring a smile to their day, and a little bit more joy into their life!
