Ahoy!
My name is Rhys Sellars, and I am nearing the completion of my Bachelor of Games Development at SAE Qantm Institute in Melbourne. I am Majoring in Game Design, however would like to look into further personal/academic study into Programming to further broaden my skill set, as well as making myself a more attractive and useful asset within a team.
In a studio environment, I am generally an all-rounder, however I enjoy diving into Development Documentation inclusive of (Game Design Documents, Level Design Documents, Character Design Documents, Art Bibles/Style Guides and Project Plan Documents). I also enjoy creating 2D art, particularly environmental scenes. I am constantly trying to teach myself new styles and areas such as Character Art.
As a Designer, I enjoy creating interesting Characters, Levels and Scenarios. My goals within my designs are to evoke strong emotional responses through careful use of audio and art.
I have been an avid gamer my entire life, and as it stands currently own 21 game systems. I have a vast knowledge on retro games having played games from the majority of the older systems, and often draw inspiration from the gems of yesteryear. I also have vast interest in Speed Running games. I find that Speed Running can be a valuable tool as a developer in making decisions and considerations when creating a title.
As of 2017, I began attending the annual 'Global Game Jam' event.
Currently I am looking to work within an established studio, however am open to freelance work as well,
