"I am 36 years old and attended college for game and simulation programming. My preferred engine is Unreal engine, though I also teach others. (Godot, Unity, Pygame, Snap/Scratch, etc..) As well as Blender and Photoshop for modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating.

My main focus in these lessons will be on the design. Teaching you how to come up with, plan out, research, refine and execute your own unique ideas. You will learn to use Blueprint scripting and C++ together as tools for creating quality projects. As well as how to use the various parts of the engine, DCC software, and many advanced development/ optimization techniques.

Students of any skill level are welcome. Lessons will be tailored to individual needs and goals. I teach by explaining, demonstrating, then put the concept into practice.

I've been an avid fan of video games my whole life and since the early 2000s have been studying all aspects of game design/ development.

Over the last 8 years as a full-time developer/consultant, I've created and contributed to hundreds of projects on a variety of platforms. I've also taught workshops and guest lectured at institutions ranging from local collages to MIT. As well as having tutored several students on everything from what is a variable, to the best methods for controlling the flow and pace of gameplay in commercial projects.

If you have ever thought about making video games either professionally or as a hobby, I encourage you to reach out for a consultation or to schedule your first lesson!" less...
