HELLO!
My name is Charlie Moyes. I am a 22-year-old Level Designer who has recently graduated from the University of Northampton studying BA Games Design. Here you will find work that best demonstrates my skills while working on a variety of projects - both solo and collaboratively.
Why Level Design?
I have always enjoyed playing games from a young age. When I was nine years old I used to create flash game levels on Sploder, which later transitioned to ROBLOX in my teens.
Since then, I've enjoyed every aspect of Level Design in and outside of University, where I dedicated my final major project and dissertation towards it, where I studied player engagement in linear levels.
I'm looking forward to collaborating with others to build and maintain strong relationships as a team, where playing and developing games continue to be fun.
