2022 — 2025

Welcome!

My name is Mitchel, and this is my learning journal for my Bachelor of Game Development course studies at SAE University College in Perth. I was studying the Games Development course full time before I graduated in Trimester 1, 2025 and became a Games Alumni.

Please take a look at what I have learned over the trimesters with the clickable course names below and in the archives found below that. You'll find documentation of what I've researched and learnt over the weeks of my classes and the projects I have participated in within those classes.

About Me

My full name is Mitchel Adam Smith. I was born on January 27th, 2004, in the (almost) lovely coastal town of Rockingham, where I have lived my entire life and still live in to this day.

From the moment I received a Nintendo DS for my 5th birthday, I have been fascinated with video games, and even more so in recent years as I began to experiment with game development in mainly Unity (I dipped my toes in engines such as Unreal and CryEngine, but that's about it). As I kept experimenting with Unity, I began to realize just how little I knew about game development and how hard it actually was. That is the reason why I came to SAE.
