I have experience with using game engines such as Unreal and Unity. I've used C++ and C# as well as visual scripting in Unreal's blueprints to create new features and mechanics. I'm excited to make great games with a passionate team!

About me

Hi, my name is Sean Fowke. Ever since I was young I’ve wanted to make games with interesting mechanics that people are going to want to keep playing. I like to sit down and analyze decisions made in the game design process and try to figure out why there were made. I like to analyze features I’ve designed to figure out how I can improve in the future. I love making games and it’s something I look forward to each day! I want to work with a team who is passionate, supportive, and will help me grow my skill set. My hobbies outside of video games are writing, Dungeons and Dragons, and oil painting. If my work interests you feel free to contact me using the links below. Can’t wait to hear from you! If you want to find out more about me and my journey click here
