Hello! Welcome to my portfolio. I'm Marcus, and I love making games! I consider myself a generalist in games, having experience in design, gameplay, systems, and more. My love for games is visible in the high quality of the things I create. I'm currently open for work. Check out my CV!

2021-2024: Mobile Pie Worked in a very small team on these Roblox games: Cartoon Network Game On! and Ben 10 Super Hero Time. As of writing, both games currently have 500 million visits. More details in my CV.

2016-2017: Nitrome Placement year at university. Designed and developed and significant content updates for live-service mobile game Leap Day. Assisted in design meetings and play-testing for other projects such as Bomb Chicken for Nintendo Switch.

I taught myself to code when I was 11 years old using Flash (ActionScript) and Roblox (Lua). Studying IT and Computing in school, I developed many projects in my free time. In university I achieved a 2:1 in Games Programming. My final year project and dissertation was a procedurally generated environment.

Mr. Snuggles Created as part of a game jam with three others at university, across three days. I worked primarily on the enemies (including the boss fight), gun play, and aesthetic polish. Achieved first place, with a cash prize.

Other Jams Sector 7 - 48 hour jam inspired by Dino Run, 2nd place with cash prize. Global Game Jam - "Ritual" theme with RPG style object interaction and questline. Fort Defense - See the Other Projects section.

This Website! Using Three.js (a 3D web library) I created this website from scratch! It was a ton of fun learning and refreshing my knowledge on web development. I really enjoy putting my own flair of creativity into usually pretty ordinary projects.

Poggle! A basic Peggle-inspired game made in Roblox in a couple weeks as a refresher. Check it out here.

Previous Portfolio Website I also made my old portfolio site from scratch in 2016, that one being inspired by Cave Story! It was my first web project, so I self taught myself HTML, CSS, and figured out how to get a website running. You can view it here.

Ongoing Projects Fort Defense - A week game-jam turned continuous indie dev project about couch co-op frantic fort defense and buildcraft. Solidified my confidence with quick Unity development and inspired other future projects. Framerate Monster - Undergoing testing, playing with the thoughts of developer-defined framerates being part of a game experience. And more! I have a couple other projects in progress that I'll be able to talk about soon!

Modding I'm passionate about modding games, and frequently provide my support in a private server project for a shut down MMO. I have also created scripts and tools for randomizing skeleton attributes, model swapping, and texture randomization. These 3D model scripting skills have also been used to create tools for 3D artists.
