Robert Niewodowski
Game Designer
Hello! I'm Robert Niewodowski. I'm a game designer who is specializes in systems and level design. I graduated in May of 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Game Design and a minor in game programming.
About Me
I have worked on many game projects in teams and alone, from 9 month projects to quick game jams. As you will see looking at my work, my experience has helped me to develop effective problem solving, a team-oriented mindset, a dedication to iteration, and an eye for detail.
I love tackling new challenges, whether they be different areas of game design, programming interesting mechanics, or even learning different kinds of art. For that reason, I have worn many hats as a designer. Collaborating with others on team projects has led to some of my best experiences in game development. I'm always excited to use my strengths to help a team get to a better final product.
In addition to my major in Game Design, I obtained a minor in Game Programming as a way to challenge myself and develop complementary skills so that I could be more hands on with the technical side of development when needed.
I have also enjoyed sharing my love for game development by serving as a lead teacher and teaching assistant in summer camps for children and teenagers where I taught game programming and design in Unity, GameMaker, and Scratch.
I am currently working on an alien hunting game along with 4 other people in Unreal Engine as a Technical Designer while job searching to keep and further develop my skills.
