Hello!

I'm Cole, a Game Designer who thinks critically, seeks originality, and loves colour. I love Nintendo games and my favourite games are Zelda, Terraria, and Splatoon! My games can be played here: rayflower.itch.io. My latest game, Hearth and Home, was made on a team of 6 people for the 2019 global game jam, and can be found here: teamsupertable.github.io.

​

My current goal is to grow as a designer by learning how to design, develop, market, and publish a game while leveraging my time and ability. I regularly showcase games at monthly meetups to get feedback on my prototypes that I use to iterate on the design.

“Where Galaga meets colour theory!” -- A 2D, colour-focused, Galaga-inspired arcade shooter for PC developed solo in 48 hours at GGJ2018 using GameMaker Studio.

I am currently developing this project, following my goal of developing my design skills. I regularly present this game to gain insight into the design challenges which I face in developing this indie game. You can read more about the problems I encountered and what my solutions were on the link below.
