This project was part of my Group Project / Managing Games Production module (April - June 2024).

Reference
" Matthew worked at an unbelievably high standard throughout the production of his prototyped project for us. Tasked with making an arcade mini-game Matthew worked with us to complete a prototype of a high standard for our client. The delivered project was attached with an incredibly detailed development document making it easy for our client to understand and make changes where needed from the prototype. The energy Matthew also brought to the team was well regarded helping deliver a positive workplace environment. "​

About Me
Hello, I'm Matthew "Blue" Richardson!
I'm Matthew, and I'm a game designer and developer based in Suffolk, UK. I'm a BSc (Hons) Games Development graduate , with more than 3 years of experience in game design, project management, programming (C# & UE Blueprints), level design and narratives. The skills I've garnered and continue to develop from my experience, have allowed me to produce games on various devices from early GDD concepts and rapid prototypes, to full releases, in teams and individually.
While I look for an ambitious studio to take me onboard, in my free time I enjoy playing games, watching movies, learning languages (learning Swedish at the moment!), painting Warhammer figurines (Tyranids), cycling, and looking after my lovely dog, Casey, and her two cat siblings, Ruby and Ridley (after Ridley Scott of course!).
