My Name Is Gabe

And I’m a Game Designer studying my craft at Sheridan College.

I’ve been playing games for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s Console, PC, or even VR, chances are if it exists I’ve at least heard of it. I figure it’s about time to give back to the very industry that has had such a big influence over my life.

 

I've always loved playing around in game editors like Little Big Planet, Mario Maker, and Gamemaker Studio, coming up with levels to show friends and family. I took up drawing around the same time, an activity which I still do passively but I eventually shifted into learning how to 3D model. In general, I tend to lean into skills related to Level Design, 3D modelling or Writing.

 

The reason I like games specifically comes from their ability to completely immerse the player into their game world. When one is in control, it’s much easier to become grossly involved with what happens behind the screen. Whether it’s slaying a giant monster, socializing with others or just a simple party game, messages told through video games have a much deeper impact than that of any other form of media.
