<about_me>
Hi!
I’m James, a UK-based game developer currently in my final year at Manchester Metropolitan University studying Game Design. I am super passionate about pushing the boundaries of what I can make, whether through technical challenge or new and interesting creative ideas. I have been developing games for over 10 years and through that time I have always been eager to learn, exploring various game engines, genres, and techniques.
