About Me!
Hi, I'm Iain Walker, a UK based game designer and systems programmer.
I've wanted to develop games since I was very small, from designing my perfect game in the margins of my school notebooks and trying to make a top down RPG in the style of Pokemon in Scratch at primary school, to writing an AWS library for Unreal Engine.
In that time I've tried to dissect the design of a great many of my favourite games, as well as reading books on game design, such as Jesse Schell's "A Book of Lenses", watching video essays and analyses such as those made by HBomberbuy, and eventually taking a class on the subject at West Suffolk College from 2020 to 2022.
Aside from the theory stuff, I've also spent that time learning as many tools, languages, and programming practices as I can. I'm always trying to learn something, or improve my skills.
In case it's not clear, I really do love game design. Couple that with almost a decade of programming experience and you've got a recipe for someone who punches for work above his weight, and still won't quit until the job is done.
