About Me

I'm Berk Tatar, a games developer with an extraordinary passion for anything game or programming related.

Ever since I've known myself, I have always been amazed and awe-struck by technology, especially the concept of game development. Coming up with ideas, sketching locations and characters, programming the gameplay and animating the models. All of those activities made me ambitious in becoming a game developer.

This goal shaped my childhood, school and private life, causing me to focus on subjects such as: computers, mathematics, language, and etc. 

After continuous exposure, I astonishingly discovered concepts such as sketching and animating. These concepts were beyond interesting on their own, and to see them converge together into games was simply fascinating. After this discovery, I decided to branch out into more subjects leading me to start drawing.

 As I familiarized myself with game development and various forms of art, I realized that the more I spent time online, the more fluent and capable I became in foreign languages. 

This talent I had with language lead me to pursue learning several languages that piqued my interest. I already had English and German classes available in school, so in addition I took extra speaking lessons at weekends. 

In order to socialize and practice my skills in language during high school, I joined several activities, such as:

-The d'MUN Model United Nations conference competition three times, winning the top 3 award twice.

-Acted as the Narrator and Mycroft Holmes in an English Play based on the famous Sherlock Holmes.

-Completed a language course in Dublin which lasted for a month.

Along with my school life, I had started noticing that it was hard to find any support of Computer Games Development in my country besides Computer Engineering. So, I decided to search for European countries which may provide more specific education in Games Development.

This lead me to graduating from Dundalk Institute of Technology 4 years later with a BSc Hons in Computing in Games Development Level 8.

Dundalk Institute of Technology was a great experience for me.  I got to learn from talented lecturers who taught me many things about development, worldbuilding, and programming. During my time there in Ireland, I got to befriend various people during my studies, and experienced a foreign culture firsthand.

I joined several clubs and groups during my time in Dundalk Institute of Technology, such as:

-Archery Club

-DkIT Gaming Society

-DkIT Arts and Illustrations Society

-Irish Collegiate Esports

-Irish Interfirms Gaming Lounge

-Tabletop Games Society

Now even after the years of development experience I've gained from Dundalk Institute of Technology, I continue each day to learn, hone my skills further and strive to grow further as a game developer.
