Hello, my name is Samuel Dwyer, I live in St. Louis, MO, and I am currently a senior at Bradley University majoring in Game Design and minoring in both Computer Science and Creative Writing. I have learned so much already at my time here, from things ranging from Unity, C#, C++, Photoshop, and Unreal.
Ever since I was a kid, creating games has always been a passion of mine, and I have desired to be a part of that growing field. I try to find time in my heavily busy school schedule to just work on passion projects, as this gives me motivation to keep working hard in my field.
Sophomore year, I joined our production team for our annual showcase of what our department is all about so I could gain experience working with a team of members related to my own major.
Last year, I was a Team Lead for that same showcase, producing a VR experience in Unity, learning more about working and producing a project with others.
Over the summer, I had the amazing opportunity to work at Deep Silver Volition before it got shut down. I had a wonderful time meeting incredible people and working in the industry, seeing the process of sprints come together and the amount of talent poured into games. I learned a lot with my time there, getting first hand experience creating various works in the structure of a real triple AAA studio. Being at the studio really solidified that what I have been working towards both at school and in my free time is what I want to pursue in my career.
Thank you for checking out my portfolio, and have a great rest of your day!
