Due to the pandemic, Global Game Jam 2021 was held entirely virtually this time around. I would normally make the ~45 minute drive to a local college that hosts one of the largest jam sites in my area to find a group to work with. This time I used, Discord, Google Drive and Perforce…

Mini Jam 58: Neon (Light Riders)

Light Riders was the game that I created for Mini Jam 58: Neon, with a limitation of Money being a core mechanic. I had the pleasure of working with another small team this time around, a Composer and a Programmer. I greatly enjoyed working with the “Neon” theme for this game jam and had…

Mini Jam is a smaller game jam organization where they do jams every couple of weeks. They give you the theme about a week before hand and give you a limitation right as the jam begins. For this jam, the theme was Sky and the limitation was “2 randomly chosen words.” The words were…

One of the ways I’ve been keeping myself busy during the pandemic is by building out my home lab and learning what I can about networking and servers. As I started to plan out what I was going to be using this equipment for I searched for gear that was both affordable and easy…

The Switch to Unreal Engine

The Switch to Unreal Engine

July 29, 2020 srolfe657 Comments 0 Comment

As someone who was began learning in Unity back in 2014/2015 let me tell you that switching game engines isn’t the easiest thing to do. This is especially true when you’re comfortable enough in an engine that you can build just about anything you could imagine. After getting hired at Epic I decided I…

Metal Shell: Neon Pulse

Metal Shell: Neon Pulse (MSNP) was Light Loop Games’s 2nd title and while the game never shipped or got finished I wanted to take the time to tell its story because I learned a lot from attempting to create it. You can download the demo from Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/819460/Metal_Shell_Neon_Pulse/ Originally MSNP started as a…

I started an indie game development company! I started Light Loop Games (LLG) back in 2018 with the idea that I wanted to continue working on games in an official capacity after college.

Graduation From Full Sail University

This post is being created after the fact… way after but I wanted to circle back and cover the missing sections from my game dev journey so that everything makes sense chronologically. In June 2017 I graduated from Full Sail University as the Valedictorian with a Bachelor of Science degree for Game Design. I…

“The game designer shouldn’t be making a world in which the player is just a small part. The player’s the boss; it’s your duty to entertain him or her.” – John Carmack

As you’ve probably guessed after reading the above quote, I am a game designer who seeks to deliver players a lasting and memorable experience through video games. I believe that video games are the ultimate form of entertainment in that they allow for interactions beyond the capability of books or film.

I graduated from Full Sail University in 2017 where I studied game design and received the honor of being my class's Valedictorian.
