I’m a Student currently studying Game Design at University.

As much as I love my Uni work I know it is not enough to truly challenge me and push me out of my comfort zone. So I wanted something tangible to work on and grow over the foreseeable future that can combine playing, understanding and designing computer games.

I would say my weakest area for game development at this moment is designing UI. The few games I have developed in the past few years have often had me struggling to produce a solid, good looking and functional UI that embraces the game’s aesthetic.

While playing games I do appreciate the GUI and UI elements, often loving the finer details which really adds polish to a game. However, when it comes to designing my own, I’m lost for ideas and creative flair.

I also realise I need to show a stronger desire to develop my skills and knowledge of my chosen career in game development.

To this end I am creating this blog. As I play through games and continue to learn within my university course I shall be writing up blog posts as a record of interesting things I find.

(With any luck I’ll learn how to design a blog while I’m at it ^^)
