John Montgomery.
Game Designer & Developer.

Hello there, my name is John. I am a Game Designer & Developer currently working as both a Lead Gameplay Developer and UI Programmer on the early access title Kingdom Jump. I'm currently situated near Glasgow, Scotland.

I'm working on several projects concurrently including Pineapple Studios' Kingdom Jump, an Arcade Kart Racing game and following up development of a Global Game Jam title in Carpool. Each of these is built in Unity which is my most comfortable environment to work in. In the latter two projects I also assume a design focused role as well as my development type roles with project management also being put on display in development of Carpool.

With eight months of professional industry experience in development roles and a passion for design, I am a versatile candidate for many positions in a team and with my personality, I fit into any team with ease. I have experience in not only creating programmed functions for the use of non-programmers but in code review, my high quality control standards leave me in a position many would consider desirable.

• 2D & 3D Platformers (Including Web Games in JS)

• Multiplayer First Person Shooters

• Retro Arcade Games

• RPG Adventures (Including a story driven 2D Platformers)

• Arcade Racing Games

• Idle Clickers

• Serious Games For Learning & Practical Applications

I am comfortable in;

• General Game Design

• Level Design

• Technical Game Design

• UI/UX/HCI Design

My strengths in Development come in the form of;

• C#

• GitHub

I also consider myself to be skilled in;

• Teamwork

• Communication

• Project Management (Microsoft Project & Trello)

• Kanban, Agile and Scrum Methodologies

• Problem Solving
