Jay Ullman
GAME DESIGNER
WHO AM I?
I'm an indie game designer from Cornwall, and I mainly make games in Unreal Engine 5, along with Unity, RPG Maker, GBStudio, and many older and obscure engines. Anything to help me on my quest to make weird and esoteric games.
My main specialism is technical design, though I've often worked as more of a generalist.
I have all sorts of skills, including audio, graphics, scripting, writing, making me almost a jack of all trades in game development if needed. I'm always open to learning new skills and improving my existing ones.
If it wasn't obvious already, I tend to be drawn to weirder and more experimental/artsy ideas in games, rather than chasing industry trends.
As for my other hobbies, I'm very passionate about sci-fi, folklore, horror, and Warhammer 40k. I also occasionally make game mods, some of which can be viewed right here on this portfolio!
