Oh uhm... Hello!
Gosh, I guess I have to tell something about myself now that you are here! My name is Elroy, and I am a Technical Designer. I'm currently a Placement Game Designer at Sumo Digital. I like to make games that resonate with people on a fundamental level; presenting the player with a place to explore, and discover/learn something about how the world works, or themselves through gameplay and interaction. As a Technical Game Designer, my tasks usually entail implementing (programming/scripting) and concepting (design) interconnected gameplay systems. My work also contains creating various systems and tools to optimise workflow for designers/artists. Currently, I'm a fourth-year student at the 'International Game Architecture and Design' (IGAD) at NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences in The Netherlands. Here, I am working together with students on various well-received game projects while being mentored by industry professionals (Guerilla Games, LucasArts, Rockstar Games, Creative Assembly, Ubisoft, DICE, Crytek, and many more). Recently worked on and released 'The Red Stare' as a Technical Designer, which released on July 31 2017 on Steam. Please feel free to look around my portfolio. It acts as both a detailed look into my work, as well as an archive for future reference. | ||||
