Hello,
I'm Elijah, a graduating games technology student with experience using a variety of tools, including the Unity and Unreal 5 game engines, as well as the C++, C#, and Python programming languages.
I have explored multiple aspects of game development, such as programming and graphics/UI design. Besides gaming and game development, I have a strong passion for aviation and have undertaken multiple game development projects that revolve around this theme such as my dissertation project.
I am proficient in collaborative work, demonstrated by the multitude of group projects in which I have partaken. I am also open to using emerging technologies as part of my workflow, such as AI.
Included below are six of my most prominent projects. I utilised a variety of skills across these projects, such as teamwork and programming.
A flight simulator was created as a final year dissertation project. The simulator utilises real-world physics equations alongside educational elements to teach about aviation. The project was inspired by my personal passion for aviation and my interest in physics.
As a final year group project, a puzzle game was created by a team of 10. This game follows the adventures of "Cliff", an adventurer who explores an ancient temple to solve puzzles, avoid traps, and uncover treasure.
In third year, a rhythm game was created in a team of 10 for UWE Global Game Jam 2025 in 48 hours. It is a washing-themed rhythm game that was presented to a live audience and achieved second place.
This is a board game that was created as part of a team of 10 during second year. It is based on the annual "Tar Barrels" tradition of Ottery St Mary, and has players competing to carry the flaming barrel.
This is a 3D video game created using C++. It is set during the second world war, and puts the player in the role of a fighter pilot with the mission of destroying enemy bombers, vessels, structures and convoy vehicles.
In third year, a game was created that integrated the Twitch streaming platform into its systems. The game includes a voting screen where Twitch viewers can vote on the next level that the streamer will play.
