Description

A Master's student blending together weird, interesting mechanics with funny and compelling narratives.

History

6 Years of Jamming

After making small games from a young age, he started competing in Game Jams from 2014, such as Ludum Dare and the GMTK Jams, often coming in the top 5-10% of entries.

4 Years of University

Currently in his fourth year of a Computer Science Master's Degree, Matt has poured all of his acquired knowledge into his games, from efficient programming paradigms to strange graphical effects. His degree specialises in Artificial Intelligence and VR Gaming.

A Dramatic Spin

Matt has spent most of his free time at university participating in Durham's enormous Student Theatre scene, originally in small acting roles but then in several executive positions, including being President of a Theatre Company specialising in quirky British comedies for charity. Not only has a flair for the dramatic creeped into his narratives, but the ideals of inclusivity, accessibility and "fun" are ones he wished to bring forward in Gaming culture.
