So you're looking for an experienced, specialist, 2D/retro games developer and pixel artist? With my 35+ years in games development let me just say that giving video games that sparkly, vintage retro 8-bit and 16-bit aesthetic is my niche.

I absolutely love what I do which means I work quickly and deliver highly polished and playable games - and yes that includes creating 8-bit sound effects and chiptunes. I also enjoy developing compelling characters and writing screenplays/plots for adventure games (especially horror and film noir) My absolute passion and niche skill is developing RPG and adventure games! If you're looking for something along the lines of a strong narrative based design then please do not hesitate to contact me because I have many years of experience in that area and can definitely help you out there :) I also have a soft spot for top-down roguelikes/roguelites and procedural generation so if you have a gaming project that involves those particular mechanics I would love to hear about it!

    Portfolio website - oceanviewgames.co.uk My expertise lies with Unity! I have over a decade of experience with the game engine working on projects of all sizes. This ranges from small projects where I was responsible for the entire development and publishing cycle of the project, to large projects working alongside over a dozen developers and artists, each with their own role to play. Before founding Ocean View Games to fuel my personal projects and contractual work, I worked in many different roles within the game industry. My proudest achievement from this time in my life was working at Jagex as a Lead Technical Developer, lending my expertise to the development of the MMO Runescape, a game of which I have been an avid fan for decades! During my time at Jagex, my expertise in mobile game development was recognised and I was assigned as the lead of the mobile development team, overseeing and leading the push to release old-school Runescape for mobile devices. Following more than a year of difficult but rewarding work, this product went on to win a Bafta! I began my game development career at the digital agency 'fishinabottle', creating video games for big-name clients including Nickelodeon, Cambridge University Press, and the BBC. My expertise in video game design and development was invaluable and led to close relationships with the clients. If you are looking for a passionate and driven video game developer with many years of experience and accreditation then please don't hesitate to get in touch!

    Hey, I’m Jamie, a London based writer and narrative designer. Initially working in film and art, I transitioned into game narrative five years ago. In those five years, I have worked on multiple games, both in a contractor and full-time capacity, ranging from casual mobile experiences to large-scale console/VR titles. My work has included scriptwriting, design documentation, subtitle and VO implementation in Unreal Engine and UI/UX consultation. In my experience, the best aspects of a project come together when every member of the team works to support each other. It's through collaboration and the sharing of our collective skills, that we're able to create meaningful art and entertainment.

    Hello! I'm Kelechi Apakama, a seasoned UK-based developer with a broad expertise in Unreal Engine development, full-stack web technologies, and cutting-edge AI integrations. With over 5 years of freelance experience, my proficiency spans Python, C++, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ensuring robust and elegant solutions across the board. My expertise shines in leveraging APIs (such as OpenAI's Assistants API) to elevate backend functionalities, demonstrated in my latest project; an AI-powered browser extension that simplifies complex legal texts for user comprehension. This project not only demonstrates my skill in AI integrations but also highlights my commitment to innovative, user-centric solutions. Holding a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Oxford, my foundation in CS and Machine Learning is solid, driving me to deliver high-performance, functional code across a range of projects. This educational background complements my practical experience, including a rich portfolio of Unreal Engine projects and other applications. In the realm of game development, my capabilities extend from environment design to the creation of engaging gameplay experiences, as showcased in "Stormrite," an open-world RPG under development for PC & Xbox. My most recent Upwork engagement was a long-term contract in which I acted as a Consultant and Developer for a company creating large-scale commercial 3D visualizations in the Unreal Engine. Additionally, I have experience in the mobile realm. My mobile game "Keep It Up" has enjoyed global recognition with over 300,000 downloads, in a project that integrates advertisement SDKs, payments, and real-time database management. While my journey encompasses a breadth of projects, from complex 3D visualizations to mobile game development, my focus remains on pushing the boundaries of technology to create immersive, impactful experiences. I'm eager to bring this blend of creativity, technological acumen, and strategic prowess to your next project!

    Hi, I'm a published writer in education and a self-published creative writer, with over 300,000 readers on Google Play. I'm also a secondary English Language and Literature teacher with over twenty years’ experience. ‘Flair’ is not an antonym of ‘precision’. If you want copy with both in equal measure, sign me up to your project! -------------- What people say about my writing: “Great backstory, well written and compelling throughout.” – Joe Dever, author of the famous ‘Lone Wolf’ series. "I used to play the 'choose your own adventure' books as a kid and this brings back happy memories. I think The Eighth Continent is better written than the old books though." “This game[book] deserves awards.” “This is one of the most engaging, entertaining and worthwhile mobile games ever made.” -------------- With 4,600 reviews and an average rating of 4.3 out of 5, my gamebooks stand as good testimonials of my creative writing. As regards educational writing, I am a paid contributor to the English Teaching resourcing website teachit.co.uk., where my work can be easily viewed, also for free. Please see the links on the Portfolio section of my profile. Writing is my one true love, so I am open to a wide range of projects. I’ve written educational resources, novels, poems, gamebooks, and short stories, but I’m here on Up Work because I want to branch out too. If it involves writing, count me in! Thanks for reading my profile, and I hope I can help you by writing the words you need.

    Hello, I am an Audio Designer, Composer, and Producer based in Scotland. I am incredibly passionate about sound and music and how it can influence the user experience. I produce my own music and can create tracks of any genre to fit the needs of the project I am working on. I love learning new skills and working on new types of projects in order to further my development. I have experience working in all areas of audio design and production, from creating music in my home studio to leading studio sessions and recording, mixing, and mastering music in a professional studio environment. Recently I graduated from Abertay University where I studied Sound Design and Music for Games. Whilst at university I developed the skills needed to apply my audio design and production knowledge to the games industry. I learned how to work with development teams, design audio specifically for games, create evolving music and soundscapes as well as how to use middleware to implement the audio myself. I have created sound and music for video, game trailers as well as re-dubs of video clips for assignments. I worked on multiple games projects one of which was shown at EGX as part of Dare Academy 2019. I am part of a team that founded 3030 Games (3030games.co.uk) where I continue to work on games development both as an Audio Designer and Games Designer. Our game Ephemera won Best Original Audio at the Game Parade 2020 Game Jam. I bring my all to each project I work on. Please get in touch and I look forward to working with you.
