My name is Jackson Cuevas, I was born in California and moved here when I was 5, I have plenty of experience in game design since I have been using programs such as unity or unreal to create games since I was 9. I currently play lacrosse for chhs and work at a restaurant on franklin street. For a while now I have been participating in small game making competitions to test my skills and as a hobby.
I have skills in multiple Adobe software:
Premier
Illustrator
Photoshop
InDesign
I also have skills in multiple game engines:
Unreal Engine
Unity
I know how to 3d model using these software:
Autodesk 3ds Max
Blender
Fantastic Designer 5
I can code using these coding languages:
C#
Java
Javascript
Python
Lua
Module coding (unreal engine)
Custom shaders
I did an internship for an individual named Robert Newton making a prototype video in unreal engine 4. For this I also learned a cloth designing app used by professionals called fantastic designer 5.
I am currently doing an internship for an immersive media company called Sideways Kitty. I am spending many times on the set where they are shooting an upcoming feature film horror movie helping create VFX for some of the scenes.
I often do game jams on my own time to improve my skills. I have done 4 so far.
I have created many personal projects that I either gift to family as presents or to learn new things. I have made many projects including:
FPS games
Exploration games
Multiplayer games
Platformers
Driving games
VR games
VR FPS Games
VR Multiplayer games
More
Both of the internships I have done were team projects.
My first internship I did all of the unreal engine stuff and fantastic designer stuff.
For my second one I am the main person creating a specific type of effect for a movie while I have a backup doing the same in case something happens to mine.
Currently, along with the movie I am working on a personal project mixing VR games and PC games. I am hoping to make it a VR vs PC cross play game which is something that is very uncommon in games now.
My process when making a new project
I approach a new project by brainstorming hard about my vision.
I write down every detail I come up with.
If I decide to proceed with the project I create a list of things I need to make to get the project to a prototype phase.
I am heavily inspired by indie companies making unique and interesting projects and stories.
I want to go to college for either Computer Science with a Game Design focus or Computer Engineering
After college I want to start my own team of talented people and create my own games that millions can play and enjoy.
