Hi, I'm Hal

After having an early and keen interest of programming and design I began independent learning with a computer company in C# and Javascript and continued to do Computer Science (AQA) for an early A Level. To continue to pursue my interest in learning within this field I went to study BSc Creative Computing (Gaming) at Bath Spa University where I gained skills in creative storytelling, compelling gameplay and mechanics which I have used to create the games seen in my portfolio linked. Alongside these skills learnt at Bath Spa University it allowed me to have strengthened my experience in programming learning C++ and Construct3.

I make most of my projects using Unity, but have dabbled with other game development engines here and there. I Have 10 years of C# programming experience, and 8 years of Unity experience (mostly self taught). I have a 2:1 in Creative Computing (Gaming) undergraduate degree from Bath Spa University, which I achieved in 2022 (The lockdown + Uni experience was interesting), in which time I made several game projects, both alone and with friends, some of which can be found here. I recently was on the Mastered game development training course to help me improve my Unity development skills.

I am a fan of most types of games, and play a wide variety of things on multiple different platforms. I hold a special place for Nintendo games (especially Pokémon), and an endless love for the random chaos of Roguelikes and Battle Royales. I also play D&D and many different board and card games as well. 
 

Some of my favourite games include: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Pokémon, The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, Skyrim, Hollow Knight, Enter the Gungeon, Terraria, Minecraft (java edition obviously) and Cult of the Lamb.
