Hey, my name is Jacob McConnell. For the past four years I have been studying game design here at TU Dublin. I have always had a love for creating games and experiences for people. Back when I was a kid I would design and make mini-games in Minecraft creative mode for my friends to play. After a while I realised, I enjoyed creating and designing these experiences more than playing them, so naturally I began pursuing game design as a lifelong adventure.
Over these four years I have learned so much and accomplished things I never thought I could. I have learned and now practised every aspect of game development. With over 30 projects both in and outside of college under my belt, I have become most confident in 3D modelling/animation, project management and teaching others how to create games.
In 2023 I began my own indie games studio DESKRAGE, which I originally started to give my classmates and I work to do during the summer. DESKRAGE has grown over the years, giving me project management practice with teams of up to 20+ developers. Now we have our first commercial project Build A Bot in development and releasing on steam :3
