About Me
Career and Education
Hello there! My name is Jack and I am a passionate gamer who has always enjoyed watching others enjoy stuff I have made. What got me into what I want to do was playing on a PC for the first time at a very young age and that grew into wanting to find out how games were made and make them for others or to even release onto the market. I am a Graduate who studied Computing and Games Development and have learnt lots of valuable skills alongside Game Design and Development.
