About Me and Skills
[He / She / They]
I'm Tristan, and I have recently completed my Bachelors Degree in Game Design and Development at ACM London, receiving a First Class Hons.
I became infatuated with Video Games at a young age- I'll always remember my first experience with one- stealing my Older Sister's DS Lite when we were at the Sailing Club and somehow accidentally resetting her Mario Kart save file.
I am primarily an Unreal Engine Dev, proficient in Blueprint-Based Programming.
Development skills of mine, beyond Design, include:
Blueprint Programming
I started using Unreal in September of 2023- and since then, I've been
consistently working to hone my skills in it- pushing myself to complete ever more ambitious Projects.
Narrative and World-Building
I've always enjoyed writing stories since I was a young Child- and even
throughout my teenage years and into adulthood, I've been obsessed with creating Characters, and worlds for them to inhabit.
Low-Poly 3D Modelling
I'm still relatively new to 3D modelling- In upcoming Projects, I
plan to push myself out of my comfort zone to get a better understanding and skillset in 3D Modelling and Animation.
Pixel Art
I have some experience using Aseprite to create sprite sheets for animated characters, and Tile Sheets for tile mapping 2D levels.
UI Design and Art
I Design and create UI elements for my Games using Figma- greatly enhancing the polish of my interfaces and giving them a far more polished look.
Foley and Sound Design
I have a limited degree of experience creating sound effects in Logic Pro; sampling and layering Foley sounds I have recorded myself with other Foley sounds and synths.
Audio Middleware Implementation
I have some experience implementing Audio Middleware software into Unreal Engine 5; enhancing the feel of my Games through interactive Audio.
I have experience working with the following Software and Frameworks:
