Jeff Oldfield



Hello, I'm Jeff

I graduated with honours from triOS College for Video Game Design and Development in 2021.
I have experience with Unity, Unreal (Both C++ and with Blueprints), and Mobile Development (Android and iOS), as well as Knowledge of C++, Java, and JavaScript.

I have been working for the most part on procedural generation in my games, from procedurally generated Items and enemies to entire worlds, the idea of being able to
play the same game time and time again, but still have a fresh, new and exciting experience each time is something I wish to bring to my games and designs.

My Portfolio is a constant work in progress.

Having a bit more time with this, I would have polished up the UI a lot more
Overall, The theme was not presented as well as I would have hoped, and I use this as an example to not "get ahead of myself" in future projects.
