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.
In 2023, 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 of 2023, 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.
Right now, I'm currently developing my game Wakey Wakey planning on releasing on Steam with a group of friends. We have formed our own company Moon Jam Games LLC in order to make it possible to publish our first game. We are excited to see the progress take shape and we cannot wait to show it to the public.
Thank you for checking out my portfolio, and have a great rest of your day!
