Joshua Blackley
Hi, I'm Joshua Blackley, a game design student with a passion for making games that bring people joy & inspire people. I try to be creative, but agile, using the philosophy of 'Following the fun', which creates exciting and joyous core experiences for players.
Currently I am studying a Game Design Master's Degree at The University of Staffordshire, and have completed an undergraduate in Game Production. The knowledge and skills that I have learned along the way are paramount to my goal of creating games that inspire people, just like how I was inspired when I was younger.
The tools I have experience in are:
- Unreal Engine 4 & 5 (technical design, blueprinting, and level design tools)
- Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max (modelling and keyframe animation)
- Microsoft Suite (Documentation & Research)
- Design Output Tools (Miro, Trello, Photoshop)
- Aesprite (Pixel Art)
Outside of video-games, I enjoy rock climbing, Dungeons & Dragons, football, and more! Talking to others and connecting with them is an important aspect of being a designer to me, as experience and connection is how we learn more about life, which then informs the 'how's' or 'whys' of design.
- If you have any questions, please ask! My contact details are imbedded on this profile page.
