Well met! My name is Riley Durbin, and growing up so far, I've seen just how important having a sense of imagination and an eye for adventure is in life. Valuing these traits has helped me take more opportunities, get more out of everyday occurrences, and overall, just have what I think is way more fun. And, the adventures and stories in games have been a big source of this passion. With this, I desire to help create these kinds of games, whether filled with heartwarming stories, or plain awesome fun, to give more people the spark to explore life with a sense of adventure. And, I am currently working to become a gameplay programmer and technical designer in order to do so.
Currently, I'm a Junior at the DigiPen Institute of Technology, and as I'm pursuing my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Game Design, I've been able to contribute to multiple game projects so far, with a variety of themes, and a myriad of awesome teammates alongside me! Please feel free to look around my site to see a few of these projects!
