I received my Master's degree in Computer Games Technology from the University of Abertay Dundee Scotland in 2012.
I earned the degree through a remote learning program offered at Algoma University in Ontario Canada.
This program had a large focus on programming with a basis in math and physics. After setting the groundwork in these subjects in the first semester, the second semester had a larger focus on Game Design and Development. The game resulting from that course is Colony Wars.
The third semester was entirely dedicated to thesis work.
Primary Skills that I Gained:
Team Leadership skills.
Creation and maintenance of a Game Design Document in wiki format.
Game/Level Design for a third person shooter.
Mathematical Basis for Displaying and Rotating 3D Objects.
Working Knowledge of DirectX 9c.
Low Level Programming for the Playstation 2 Console.
Mastery of the Unreal Engine and UnrealScript.
In Depth Knowledge of the Unity 3d engine.
Using the Microsoft Kinect as a control method for Unity 3d games.
