Hello, and thanks for visiting my website! My name is Jamie, and I'm a passionate game designer who finds enjoyment in finding the fun and flow in digital experiences.
Check out my Honours Project!
High-Rise was a practical study, along with a dissertation and development log for my final year at Abertay University.
"Weapons-4-Movement: Analysing Game Feel Design with Altnerative Locomotion Mechanics."

High-Rise was short-listed into the top three projects for the Game and System Design award at the Abertay Digital Graduate Show!

Reel Rush was a 3-week game jam project, based around saltwater fishing and inspired by the sights and fauna of the waters around the River Tay and Fife Coastline.
The game was made to be playable during the Dundee Hooley and was designed to be easily accessible, as it was an outdoor arcade game.
The goal is to catch as many fish as you can, and to build up huge combos.
Hat-Free was a 3-week game jam project, designed as a single-player visual novel set in Britain during the 1970s.
You play as a single woman who has chosen to be 'hat-free', instead opting to focus on her social life and a job she enjoys.
She faces scrutiny from this from her old-fashioned family. Made for the 'WE ARE CHILDFREE' movement, to spread awareness about the stigma of adults who choose to not have children.
A single-player casual decision-making game, where the player, a young male university student, must get through their work week while maintaining their mental health.
Throughout the week, the player must balance their finances and mental health which may increase or decrease based on your choices.
From making humble Scratch games in primary school, to now developing professional gameplay experiences, I've been passionate about creating (and playing) games for over half my life.
Currently, I'm continuing to develop my final University project into something commercial that I can be proud of.
When I'm not making games, I'm playing games. I also have a deep fascination with animal documentaries, talking about games with friends, or creating digital art.
